Speak up, Xabi Alonso!
"We know our tasks. We have to win to reach overtime or go directly to the next round. We know how important the game is for the club and we will fight for it. We respect Monaco. They have a good team. It hurts us that we didn't win the first match.
Now we want to take this ambition of defeat into the second match with all our energy. It is important to be fully present at critical moments. There will also come a moment when we need a lot of risk. We have to find the balance between controlling the game and wanting to take more risks .
Diaby was part of the training today. It is a minor injury. We will assess the risk of an implantation tomorrow together with the medical department and Moussa."
Probable roster of Bayer Leverkusen
Hradecky; Frimpong, Tah, Tapsoba, Hincapie; Demirbay, Andrich; Wirtz; Amiri, Schick, Hlozek.
Bayer Leverkusen's situation
Aranguiz, with a calf injury, Lunev, not mentioned, are the absences of Xabi Alonso, who still has doubts about Diaby, with thigh problems.
Speak up, Philippe!
"No, I hope not. Anyway, I didn't feel that today. Each time, I want to see players who respond present in training and during matches. AS Monaco has lost in the last two trips to Brest without scoring a goal. We need to change this statistic. They play in a very good organization and are very good against big teams, as the results against Lens (1-1) and Lyon (0-0) show us.
But they are not only a defending team, because they play with offensive wingers. They are also good at crossing, they are one of the best teams in this aspect. They have a lot of quality. And lately, it is not a stadium that brings a lot of luck to AS Monaco. It's a good challenge to change that. We have to continue to play as we have been doing in the last few weeks, even if with the injuries we have to adapt. I don't want to talk about adjustments, because I trust all my players.
They have shown themselves to be good in training and now they need to show this in the games. The team's great strength is its collective strength, as we showed on Thursday against Leverkusen. You could see the beautiful atmosphere on the bench when we scored. It's a chance for others to show up when there are absentees."
Probable roster for Monaco
Nübel;Matsima, Disasi, Sarr, Henrique; Diatta, Fofana, Matazo, Golovin; Ben Seghir, Embolo.
