Monaco Vs Brest: Kehrer Frames Match as Part of Final Push
Speaking at a press conference two days before Monaco host Stade Brestois in the Principality, Kehrer emphasized the importance of approaching the run-in with a clear mindset. He said every season brings different scenarios and a team that evolves, but stressed a shared desire within the group to finish as strongly as possible.
Kehrer pointed to the standards required in the weeks ahead: high intensity, sustained concentration, and “real unity” across the squad. With nine matches left, he said the approach is to take them one at a time, warning that Ligue 1 can produce surprises and that the best response is thorough preparation for each opponent.
He also noted the schedule now allows almost a week between games, describing it as an opportunity to work well in training and set the necessary standards to be ready for the weekend and push for the best possible results.
What Monaco Expect From Brest: Direct Play, Crosses and Duels
Kehrer described Brest as a physical side that relies heavily on crosses and plays quite directly, calling them a difficult opponent. He highlighted striker Ludovic Ajorque as a player with “many qualities, ” adding that Ajorque knows his strengths and how to exploit them.
For Monaco, Kehrer said the challenge will be to be intelligent in their approach while also being “very present” in duels and tackles. He also referenced the first-leg meeting, noting Brest earned a 1-0 win, and made clear Monaco are aiming for a better result this time.
Kehrer Praises Monaco’s Recent Form and Attacking Improvements
Kehrer comes into the match after a strong performance against Paris Saint-Germain last weekend in a 3-1 game. He was described as a “monstrous presence, ” received a rating of 8 in l’Équipe, and was included in the Team of the Week for Matchday 25 of Ligue 1 McDonald’s.
In his media comments, he also discussed improvements he has seen in a Monaco attacker’s mentality—highlighting greater determination and confidence, and a steadier energy level regardless of whether chances are taken or missed. Kehrer said the player continues to work hard for the team, is physically and athletically strong, and is increasingly finding the right positions, with the goalscoring instinct to be decisive.
Kehrer added that the difference now is how the player uses his qualities more effectively, choosing movements and runs better. He also spoke about the value of training against strikers with different profiles, saying it pushes defenders to challenge themselves so they are more prepared on match day.
As Monaco vs Brest approaches, Kehrer’s message centered on collective responsibility—keeping standards high in training and staying united to sustain results through the final phase of the season.
