Monaco – Red Star Belgrade: Hütter makes a strong choice

As part of the 3rd day of the Champions League, this Tuesday, October 22, the AS Monaco hosts Red Star Belgrade at the Stade Louis II in a crucial clash.

Undefeated in this group stage of the Champions League, AS Monaco, who have just knocked out FC Barcelona in the queen of European competitions, aim to get closer to qualification when they host Red Star Belgrade. Facing the press before this match, Monaco coach Adi Hütter was keen to keep his players under pressure. A daring choice with regard to the confidence gained in recent weeks: “Red Star should have won against Benfica, they deserved better than this defeat (2-1). At Inter, they lost 4-0 but after having had a very good first half. In any case, it's the Champions League. There are only good teams and it will inevitably be difficult for us. It's a key match for us and we will have to earn it."

This match is indeed already crucial since ASM's schedule will get tougher over the next few days (Bologna, Benfica, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Inter). “If we win, nothing will be done, and if we lose, nothing will be done either,” the manager said. Whatever happens against Red Star, there are five matches left and anything can happen. But if we win tomorrow, it will be a good operation… We know that we will need around ten points (in eight matches) to qualify for the next round (between 9th and 24th place, to play a play-off). That's why it's a key match. We have to believe in ourselves. For tomorrow and for the future. When you're capable of beating Barcelona (2-1, on September 19), you can beat Benfica or Aston Villa, or go and draw at Arsenal or Inter. It will also be a key match for Red Star after its two defeats. It's a fantastic match play."

As part of this 3rd day of the Champions League, AS Monaco hosts Red Star Belgrade at the Louis II stadium. The kick-off for this game will be at 18:45. Tobias Stieler (GER) will be the referee in this game.
