"Saint-Etienne are on a run of five victories and a draw at home, so it will be a very difficult match for us. They caused us a lot of problems the first time we played them this season and I haven't forgotten. They have very good wide players and a very strong attacker in great form as well as a great public pushing them on. It will be another very tough game."

"In my opinion, the most important match of the round is our game. I'm not interested in the other matches."

"There is a Monaco without Jérémy Toulalan and a Monaco with him. The team is not the same without him. He is indispensable. I like this type of player that always thinks about the team first."

"James Rodriguez has the keys to open any door! I knew when I signed him here and that's why I was so demanding of him at the start of the season. But today he is perfect. He brings the whole team into the game, he provides assists, he scores, he defends... I am very satisfied with him."
