Thilo Kehrer, the central defender currently playing for Monaco, spoke before the team's crucial match against Lyon, saying that he will focus on ensuring Monaco's chances of qualifying for the Champions League and will go all out in preparation for the game.  

Monaco players are eager to continue their Champions League dream, and the team will face Lyon this week. As Thilo Kehrer said in the pre-match press conference, the team is determined to win in order to continue fighting for Champions League qualification next season.  

Thilo Kehrer: "I have been back in training this week and I feel good. There are no other problems and no pain at the moment. Due to the low training volume last week, my recovery has gone very well. I am working very well with the physios and the medical staff, who are doing a great job. So I am ready for the race this weekend."  

"We are very focused at the moment and have a clear understanding of our strengths and playing style. We are preparing for the game in detail with the right level of concentration and a happy mood, because it is important to keep a relaxed atmosphere. In training, we not only consolidate our own tactics, but also work hard to analyze and absorb Lyon's playing style."  

“While I may not have experienced such a close table, I have been through a few seasons where the final victory or defeat is often determined by points or goal difference. In such situations, it is crucial to understand the key stakes and details of the game so that we can focus and perform at our best.”  

"In the big picture, we have to treat the next two games as finals or playoffs. We will focus on the games as only we can decide the outcome. The positive thing is that our destiny is in our own hands. Therefore, we have to do everything we can to focus on our task."  

Thilo Correll also spoke about Folarin Balogun's return to the team, saying: "With his technical ability and strong offensive firepower, combined with his speed and direct playing style, he is able to effectively penetrate deep into the opponent's defense. In terms of creating chances, his style is significantly different from other forwards, which brings new vitality and some differences to us, and also adds highlights to our overall style."  

“I am very happy with the current forward lineup and it will be up to the coach to decide who will start or come off the bench. Although Folarin Balogun has been training with us for a while, his return is still a positive sign. He has played before, but Saturday was undoubtedly his first appearance as a starter.”  

"At the moment, the atmosphere in the team is very happy and the relationship between the players, coaching staff and staff is very harmonious. When players recover from long-term injuries, their mental state often improves significantly."  

“In addition, we will undoubtedly need the support of the fans. We expect all the fans to be there and give us their full support, which is very important for us. Their support will not only help us, but also provide us with extra motivation. The game against Lyon is important in itself, but the atmosphere on the scene makes the result even more important. We are very happy to see the fans cheering us on the scene.”
