Monaco v PSG: Zaïre-Emery speaks candidly after the defeat

Paris Saint-Germain traveled this Saturday to face AS Monaco and was defeated 1-0 (video summary here) as part of the 14th day of Ligue 1. In an interview with PSG TV, Warren Zaïre-Emery, a 19-year-old midfielder, reflected on this defeat.

Zaïre-Emery "It's a team that is physically strong, that wins its duels"

"It was a difficult match against a good Monaco team, which came to challenge us high, pressed, and put a lot of intensity. It's a team that is physically strong, that wins its duels. It's quite hard to speak in the heat of the moment, but I think that because of the pressing they applied, the gaps were behind them. Today we lacked a bit of depth and precision in our passes, there were a lot of mistakes. We need to move on, look forward, and aim for the three points in the next match because it's important. We will first rest well, clear our minds, and prepare for the week."

A not-so-surprising defeat for PSG, who failed to get into their game this Saturday. After their impressive 5-3 victory against Tottenham this Wednesday in the Champions League, the Parisians hit a roadblock in the championship. PSG appeared too limited against a very physical Monaco team that did not hesitate to engage in intense duels.

In front of the goal, Luis Enrique's men were also too clumsy. With 2 shots on target out of 13 attempts, it was clear that coming back was an impossible mission despite the expulsion of Thilo Kherer at the end of the match on the Monaco side. It's a painful defeat nonetheless, as Lens and Olympique de Marseille have the opportunity to take the top of the podium this Sunday. It's a misstep that will need to be corrected next week when they host Rennes at the Parc des Princes.
