His reaction
There is satisfaction. The victory was very important. We are a somewhat marked, fragile team. These three points feel good and bring serenity. The goal was to be less open. We wanted Gautier Larsonneur to make fewer saves and he only made one. Finding this defensive solidity was essential. We then know that we have offensive qualities and that we can score at any time. We had big chances and it’s good to create them. Now, we must find quality in the finish. But we’re going to take it step by step.
His choices in the eleven
I based this on my observation of the training week taking into account the game plan and the opponent. In my opinion, the team that started was the most competitive. But we saw that the starters could help the team finish well. (…) Our first half hour was difficult, we suffered in the first half even if we didn’t concede that many situations. In second, we put more intensity, we won more duels. And the starters really helped the team! Lucas Stassin? I liked his match, his state of mind, his commitment… He wasn’t always fair but he has to go through that, work for the team. I am satisfied with his match.
His first on the Saint-Etienne bench
These are special emotions in front of these two green walls behind the goals. I think tonight the players got their jerseys wet. I have read some very accurate banners. The minimum is to show desire and I agree with the supporters on the fact that the coat of arms is more important than personal cases. Tonight, in the engagement, it was really interesting!
