Gilli’s Big Demand vs Monaco; Key Metz Absences; Castro Praises Nantes Player
Stéphane Gilli’s Paris FC faces a challenging match against AS Monaco at the Stade Louis II. This matchup comes just days after a thrilling 3-3 draw with Olympique Lyonnais. Gilli sees it as a crucial test for his team in the Ligue 2 season.
Gilli’s Insights on the Monaco Challenge
Stéphane Gilli emphasized the focus required for this encounter. “Monaco attacks with depth using players like Balogun,” he noted. The team’s ability to make repeated runs demands high concentration and communication from his players.
He stated, “If we can break their initial pressure, we have opportunities to exploit.” Gilli anticipates a high-quality match, recognizing Monaco’s offensive capabilities as a significant challenge.
Key Players Absent for Metz
Meanwhile, FC Metz prepares for their away game against FC Nantes. The team will be without two key players, Gauthier Hein and Sadibou Sané. Hein’s suspension was due to a yellow card offense in their recent 2-0 victory over Lens, which surprised many given Lens’ strong form.

Despite these absences, Metz will gain reinforcements with Benjamin Stambouli and Boubacar Traoré returning to the midfield.
Castro’s Praise for Young Talent
On the other hand, Luis Castro, the Nantes coach, is looking for a better performance from his side after a recent 5-3 defeat to Monaco. He expressed admiration for young player Bahmed Deuff, who has been impressive in recent matches.
Castro believes Deuff has significant potential and is pleased with his development. “We’ve given young players opportunities, and Bahmed is showing he can contribute at this level,” he said.
As both teams gear up for their respective matches, the pressure is on for Paris FC and Metz. With Gilli’s focus on overcoming Monaco’s attack and Metz’s need to adapt to key absences, each matchup is set to test their resilience and adaptability in the league.
