Gregory van der Wiel: 'Monaco game will be very difficult'

Paris Saint-Germain full-back Gregory van der Wiel says that the Parisians will face a tough encounter when they face Monaco in Ligue 1.

Paris Saint-Germain full-back Gregory van der Wiel has suggested that his side will face a difficult battle when they come up against Monaco in Ligue 1 tomorrow.

Laurent Blanc's men can move to the top of the Ligue 1 standings with victory at the Stade Louis II, with Van der Wiel declaring that there are no easy matches in the second half of the domestic campaign.

"I think it will be a very difficult match. At this time of the season, there are no easy matches," the Dutch defender told the club's official website.

"We need to fight for the three points in each and every game. We need to be motivated and focused like a Champions League match to get this win away from home.

"Monaco have a quality squad and it will be very tough. But I have confidence in our team. I know the Monaco goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg well so it will be nice to see him and catch up."

PSG will face Monaco again on Wednesday when the sides meet in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France.
