In remarks published by the French press, Jardim said Falcao came in handy in initiating attacks and represented a pivotal support for the team, and emphasized that he performed defensive roles as well,reports Efe.
The Colombian is looking forward this season to offset a difficult period that extended over two and a half years, after he suffered a massive injury to his knee in January 2014 which eventually prevented him from playing in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Monaco loaned its forward to Manchester United in 2014-15, then to Chelsea in 2015-16, where he gave poor performances.
Falcao has finally returned to Monaco this season and managed to score two goals against Turkish side Fenerbahce in the Champions League's playoffs.
