AS Monaco: Krepin Diatta wants to forget the defeat in the Coupe de France and win the derby against Nice in Ligue 1

The Senegalese international defender spoke to the press on Saturday, the day before Monaco's match against Nice scheduled for Sunday 8 February at 2pm GMT.

The Monegasque club travels to Nice for the clash with its local rival in the 21st round of the French Ligue 1. This trip comes the day after Monaco's elimination by Strasbourg in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. But for the Senegalese international, it is necessary to forget this defeat and focus on the derby, which is a very important match.

"I've played in a lot of derbies, so I know how important this match can be for the club. But the players who are here also understand what it means. When I need to speak up, I do. But the most important thing is to go into tomorrow's match with consistency and focus on our goal. The team knows that we have to move on after the defeat in Strasbourg. We have to think about Nice now and play a very good match! The most important thing is how we respond on the pitch and how we face this team," said Krepin Diatta.
