Wilfried Singo: “Do everything to celebrate qualification in front of the away end”
They have the opportunity to secure their place on the podium this weekend. Thanks to their win against Clermont and slip-ups by Brest and Lille last week, the Rouge et Blanc are now four and six points ahead of their two rivals. A win against Montpellier on Sunday,would therefore confrim second place and a return to the Champions League. It is therefore in this state of mind that Wilfried Singo spoke at a press conference. 🎙️
Qualification for the Champions League
Yes of course there is only one point left to pick up to ensure qualification for the Champions League. This is the Club’s objective, so we are approaching this match against Montpellier with maximum concentration. It was not an easy season with injuries. There are still two games left, we want to finish it well.
The state of mind of the squad
We feel that there is a good atmosphere. Many young players want to prove themselves, they want to find a place among us. Everyone wants to play in the Champions League. AS Monaco is a great club. If we play in this competition, it will be with great pleasure that I will participate! It’s really an atmosphere that I like.
His dream of playing in the Champions League
It’s a dream that I hope will soon come true. For this, we really want to take six points out of the six possible and finish well. I have memories of the 2012 Champions League final between Chelsea and Bayern Munich when Didier Drogba helped Chelsea to victory. It was a great moment since I was in Ivory Coast.
A goalscoring return for Breel Embolo
I am very happy with his return, he came back to training well, he is scoring now. It’s really something that will do us well, it will help us for the future. We had a good time because I also scored a goal and as soon as he came back he caught me in the scoring charts. He gets along well with everyone, he knows how to motivate the team when necessary, he has a real aura for that.
His work in defence with Thilo Kehrer
I find that it works with everyone, whether it’s with Thilo, Guillermo or Mohammed. It is above all the choice of the coach and it is up to us to work hard to ensure that everything goes well. I have a good natural understanding with Thilo. You can feel it on the pitch, we complement each other well to compensate for each other’s qualities and faults.
His season from a personal point of view
I feel like I’ve reached a new milestone. I came here with the aim of helping the Club achieve its goals. I think I have thaken this to heart and I’m happy with what I’ve produced individually. I was told that I was in the short list for the best UNFP players, although I did not make the final list. I also won the Africa Cup of Nations with Côte d’Ivoire, it’s a good season.
A party with the away end if the team can qualify
Yes that would be really great. We will do everything to celebrate in front of the supporters in the away end because they have always supported us away. It would therefore be good to be able to take a point or even several during this match.
