The Toulouse coach looks back on the 3-0 defeat of his players on the ground of Lens on Friday evening.
Philippe Montanier (Toulouse coach, beaten 3-0 at Lens) : «It’s a tough score. The regret is on the first period, with opportunities. We lacked efficiency. We did not frame. We didn’t take advantage of our highlights. The start of the second half is difficult. Lens logically leads 1-0. We made mistakes late in the game, hence the 3-0. We can see the difference in numbers, which is logical given the difference in displacement. I think we could do better with more accuracy offensively. Our attackers failed to take precedence over the Lensoise defense. We have not been able to overcome this obstacle. The start of the second half gives me the most regret. We did not know how to resist as necessary.
RC Lens is having a great start to the season. It’s complete and sturdy everywhere. We also saw the bench, which will allow us to win European places. This team is applying for the Champions League.»
