PSG/Monaco – Idumbo on his goal against Marquinhos and the win | OneFootball

This Friday evening at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain hosted AS Monaco for their first home match of the season, on matchday 3 of the French championship. And despite taking an early lead, the Parisians lost 1-2 (see the PSG/Monaco video highlights) to the players from the principality. Stanis Idumbo, Monaco’s midfielder, spoke about ASM’s comeback to beat Les Rouge et Bleu, speaking to Ligue 1 Plus.

Idumbo: “the desire to do better than last year.”

What Monaco did tonight was huge, wasn’t it?

Of course, it’s the result of months of work and confidence and talent, because during this pre-season we gave it everything. It’s months of work and above all the desire to do better than last year.

You did a lot of defending but still managed to keep enough energy for that goal at the end?

Thank God, I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without Him, I would not be where I am today. The last few years were very complicated, but this year the Lord is rewarding me. I’m really happy with what’s been happening since the start of the season.

Idumbo: “In the first half we weren’t pressing that much, it was complicated”

Why did you go to the left on the goal?

I saw that Marquinhos was closing off the inside, so I accelerated a bit quickly and he wasn’t expecting it. I played to my strengths.

The difference between the first and second half?

We could see that in the first half we weren’t pressing that much, it was complicated. The coach told us that we had to believe in ourselves. We weren’t going through a bad spell and we had to keep believing. That’s what we did by scoring the first goal quickly.
