Quotes

Thierry Henry: “We will try to establish our level in the game and try to win in Marseille. We are in a delicate situation in the league. It will not be easy. This can create a shock on both sides. OM will wake up, and I hope it will be after our match. We are looking for points. “

Rudi Garcia: “Both teams have a lot to lose. Monaco has a very difficult position compared to what they were hoping for early in the season. When Thierry Henry was named, I said that I wanted him to be a coach at the height of his playing career.”
