Laurent Legname returned this Saturday morning in our columns on the complicated match of his colleagues in Toulon.
“In Toulon, defensively, we weren’t there at all. It’s difficult to understand. The club had repeated to the players that this was one of the objectives of the season. Now we have to move on.”
Asked about the power of his evening opponent, David Holston wanted to be offensive.
“We’re not going to lower our heads and say to ourselves, ‘It’s Monaco, it’s too hard’. It’s one of the best teams in Europe and it’s a pleasure to challenge these kinds of teams, especially at home to show that we can give them a hard time.”

This Friday noon, captain David Holston returned to the complicated period that the Dijon club is currently experiencing (3 losses in a row).
“It’s hard for everyone, but ultimately it’s like life, you can’t only have good times. We have gained more than lost in recent years, and we must accept that we are in a less good period. We just have to keep working, there are a lot of things going against us at the moment, even off the field, and we have to keep fighting. We don’t know if the bad streak will last, but we will do everything to turn the tide. »

On the Monegasque side, Nemanja Nedovic and Juhann Begarin do not appear on the match sheet.
