Europe 1
Finish first in its group in the first phase, entering one goal in six matches was not enough. Outsider for everyone before the start of the eighth finals of the Champions League against Arsenal, AS Monaco has stunned the football Europe on Wednesday night by winning 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium .
“We have tremendous players on every level for me,” welcomed the microphone of beIN Sports Tunisia defender Aymen Abdennour ASM. In the absence of Ricardo Carvalho injured former player of TFC has lost confidence in the Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud, especially awkward. “It was a fantastic game. We wanted to make a great match here. We had the will to win. It was a group of 25 players, you train hard, in terms of concentration and involvement ., and has a margin of enormous progress “

In the absence of its referent in the middle, Jérémy Toulalan, the coach of the ASM had decided to go up a notch Fabinho, excellent. His two partners in midfield, Joao Moutinho and Geoffrey Kondogbia were in tune and delivered a self-sacrificing game and generosity. The second has even opened the scoring for the ASM (36th) on a full strike pellet certainly deflected, but so symbolic of a team that has always had confidence in it. “I do not often have the opportunity to take my chance. But then I tried,” smiled international tricolor at micro beIN Sports. “We knew that if we did not play at 200%, it was not going to win this game.”
In front, ASM could count on the realism front of goal Dimitar Berbatov (53) and Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco came to bring the final blow at the very end of extra time. “We probably wanted more than they win today (Wednesday),” considered Berbatov, who carried between 2006 and 2008 the colors of Tottenham, Arsenal rival club. “We fought all over the field, we won our duels. I do not think a team like Arsenal will be allowed to underestimate us today but if this is the case, it is their fault “
The Prince Albert II expressed his joy.
“A special evening” for the Prince Albert II. The players were also able to count on the support of thousands of Monegasque supporters who have awakened a sleeping Emirates Stadium. And that necessarily, Prince Albert II, who came to greet them at the end of the meeting, appreciated. “This is an extraordinary evening, I never thought bet on a 3-1, it was a very serious game, full, committed. We knew well enjoy situations too. It reminds us a few good years” Prince smiled alongside Ludovic Giuly, former star of the Principality and now consultant to beIN Sports. “It’s a little sorry for (Arsene Wenger), we spoiled him the night I think! But I think we do not want it.”
Also present in London, the sports director ASM, Vadim Vasilyev, also tasted success that seems to validate the “young” taken by the ASM after the departure of two Colombian stars, Radamel Falcao and James Rodriguez, during the last summer transfer window. “The project evolves, the project is still ambitious,” he stressed beIN Sports. Monaco “project” will confront another project next Sunday in Ligue 1, with the reception of GMP. Something tells us this game will be a European dimension
