00:00But does everyone, and especially all the media, give a damn about AS Monaco or what?
00:02Look at the front page of L'Ăquipe after AS Monaco suffered a 6-1 defeat at the Bernabeu.
00:06And the Monegasques, it's not against you, don't grab my jacket, it's just a fact.
00:09Whether AS Monaco wins, loses, gets humiliated, humiliates a club or plays a 0-0 match, nobody cares.
00:16In the national football debate, I really get the impression that this club is being made invisible.
00:20And it really saddens me because this club doesn't deserve to be made invisible.
00:22But imagine something, imagine if it was Paris Saint-Germain who lost 6-1 at the Bernabeu.
00:26There would have been a quadruple one in the team.
00:29If at the start of the season it was OM who lost 6-1 at the Bernabeu, I can assure you that all the media in the country will say
00:34"Yes, OM, the UEFA coefficient, etc."
00:37So you're going to tell me I'm not being honest, I'm choosing the two biggest French clubs,
00:40I'm choosing clubs that, rationally, are bigger clubs than AS Monaco.
00:43But I can assure you that if I take clubs like Lille, like Lyon, like OGC Nice,
00:47And if those three clubs lose 6-1 at the Bernabeu, it's the same thing, it makes the front page of the team.
00:51Monaco, still a little one up there.
00:53But the opposite is true. When AS Monaco snatches a draw against Manchester City, it's the same, nobody cares.
00:58It makes a small mention in the team, people talk about it for 3 minutes, people haven't watched the games and it goes by.
01:02And it has nothing to do with the size of the club or not, because of the results of Racing Club de Strasbourg
01:06They are much more covered, it seems, than those of AS Monaco.
01:09One club plays in the C4, the other in the C1.
01:11Now, you're going to tell me, "Yes, but Strasbourg, well, you need a bit of current events, timeshare."
01:14When they are in the European Cup, it's the same, we talk about them more than AS Monaco.
01:17Well, we all know that, it's also because Monaco is not a French club, technically.
01:21Monaco is not France.
01:22Furthermore, in terms of supporters and atmosphere, even though the club is really well supported away from home,
01:26Well, at home, it's really a total waste of time.
01:28But still, guys, this summer we brought back two flashy players,
01:31Even three with Eric Dyer, if you want, but Ansu Fati and Paul Pogba.
01:34So yes, Ansu Fati is not at his best, obviously, we know that.
01:37And Pogba is the same, he hardly plays, because physically, well, it's practically over for him.
01:41But still, they are two players who normally catch the eye.
01:44The last time AS Monaco was at the center of the media landscape of the French national football debate,
01:49That was in 2017, when the guys reached the Champions League semi-finals.
01:52The guys were unplayable, Kylian Mbappé exploded onto the scene at the highest level.
01:55and especially Ligue 1 ahead of Paris Saint-Germain.
01:57But this raises a debate.
01:58Is it positive or negative for AS Monaco to be a little invisible to the media, supporters, etc.?
02:04On one hand, it's a shame for AS Monaco, who could really use a little bit of attention, etc.
02:08But on the other hand, well, it still allows players and clubs to move forward a little without pressure.
02:11A guy who completely messes up in an important match for OM or Paris Saint-Germain,
02:15He was beaten up for three days.
02:16A guy who wants to be in Monaco, well, nobody cares.
02:19Now, it would be nice if we brought them back into the spotlight a little bit.
02:21Thank you for watching this video!
