They don't. They only need a goal which means they don't have to go all out. They can sit back and attack on the counter as needed.
What?!?!? Juve doesn't even need a goal. We can sit back in our own half and cede possession, forcing them to attack, and hit on the counter.

A team needing even one goal has to attack... If we don't take the game to them, they absolutely cannot sit back and wait for us. We'll just pass the ball around in our own half.

Hence the reason teams needing a goal never sit back and attack on the counter. They have to take the initiative or we'll be very content to play out a 0-0 draw.

No doubt we are in a better position. But Monaco do not have to go all out by any means.

So they need a goal but can afford to simply sit back and wait to counter while we don't need to do anything...
They can sit back to an extent yes. If it's 0-0 by the 60-70th minute then they'll go all out.

If they go all out from the first minute, they risk conceding and losing the tie before they can even get started.

Ha- - ha..

In practice, they'll likely go all out early on which will play right into our hands.

If Monaco waits until the 70th minute to start trying to press for a goal... :rofl:
They'll try to score at any moment, but trying to pile on the pressure and leaving spaces in defence is a different thing to that.

I know. I'm just being silly. Taking it to the absurd. :D
