Monaco Defender Criticizes Team Mentality Following Draw, Faces Potential Suspension
Paphos, cyprus – mohammed Salisu, monaco’s own-goal scorer in Wednesday’s 2-2 Champions League draw against Paphos, publicly questioned his team’s mental fortitude following the match. Speaking in the mixed zone, Salisu asserted, “We defend well. We just need players with a good mentality. Players who don’t give up for 90 minutes.” he further elaborated, “As if you look at the defense, everything is fine. We run and cover each other. But in attack, it doesn’t happen like that, it’s more difficult. I think we thus need a better mentality in attack to finish off chances and come back to defend.I think that’s what we need.“
the defender’s comments come amid a concerning trend for monaco, who have conceded ten goals in thier last three matches. salisu also committed a forceful tackle on a Paphos attacker during the game, a challenge that could result in disciplinary action.
Monaco’s struggles are compounded by an upcoming fixture against Paris Saint-Germain this Saturday at the stade Louis II. The team’s recent form and potential suspension for Salisu add further pressure to the Principality club as they prepare for the high-profile match.
