Monaco coach: Fati’s reaction is correct, but players need to understand that substitutions always happen for a reason

Recently, Monaco coach Poconioli responded to his friction with Fati in an interview. He said that the substitution was to protect Fati's physical condition.

Fati's outstanding performance at the beginning of the season made him a key player for Monaco. He regained his form after a good pre-season physical training and scored frequently. However, Fati looked unhappy when he was substituted last weekend following a change of manager in Monaco.

The new coach Poconioli responded: "I talked to Fati after the game, and his reaction was correct. It is normal to be disappointed when a player is substituted. Although his reaction was somewhat inappropriate, this incident also taught me a lot."

Poconioli further explained: "There are always reasons for substitutions, which may be tactical considerations, or may be due to physical or medical considerations. All of these have their reasons and the players need to understand this." This substitution is to protect Fati's physical condition, because Monaco is about to face Tottenham in the Champions League, which is a key game.

Poconoli also mentioned the need to strengthen emotional management with Fati: "We have to work with Fati to control his emotions. I am not the kind of person who will worry too much about the impulsiveness of players, as long as they can perform correctly the next day That's the situation this time, so I'm not too worried."

However, Fati's anger at being replaced was not recognized by the coaching staff and the club, because their support for Poconioli is complete and they will not change the decision easily. Although Fati has won the starting position, his relationship with the new coach needs further observation, and it seems that their cooperation is not going well at the moment.
