Lille – Stade Rennais / Assignon: “We will have to fight against the bottom teams to first get our heads above water”
After the match, Lorenz Assignon stopped in the mixed zone in Lille.
Result : It doesn't please anyone, especially us. The new coach is trying to instill something. Big foundations that we will have to put in place quickly. We'll have to do it as quickly as possible to get out of this area quickly. Personally I felt that it was already a little more structured than the last 2-3 matches that we were able to play. Now we will have to work to achieve much more.
Lille : The whole of Ligue 1 is complicated, there are no easy matches anymore. Maybe 5-6 years ago but it's over, there are no more easy matches, all the teams have their ideas of play. We have to play 100% in every match.
Harmlessness: When we play we try to win and for that we have to score goals. This is going to be a big area of work because it’s not just about today.
Maintenance: There I think that in the short term yes obviously, we have to look at our ranking, and we are at the bottom. We will have to fight against the teams at the bottom to first get our heads above water and then be able to try to get as high as possible, but at the moment, yes. Football is 95% mental. When you have confidence, everything works, the favorable counterattacks, the incredible goals. These are times when we will have to regain confidence in ourselves and move forward.
Sampaoli : Personally I'm happy. He is someone with character who will be able to pull us forward. Over the first 2 weeks he instilled something that corresponds to what we saw at Stade Rennes. He is very present throughout the match and it's nice.
