After the meeting, in front of the press and on Forever, the coach of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Bruno Irlestried to explain why his team fell back after opening the score.
“Actually, it’s unconscious. I was a player too… We say to ourselves 'well, it's actually okay'… I ask them before, tell them that the intensity is the 90 minutes, and that it starts from the beginning… They start well the match, they will look for things, and… But it's all teams, unconsciously there is this calculation. We saw it in certain players who were less likely to try… It's about putting yourself on the safe side, thinking that… You really have to get that out of their heads. It started a little better in the second, and then there was this hit on Andy which changed the way of playing a little. But hey, were we in a lot of danger, not necessarily… We need to remain conquerors even at 1-0. We have seen it, when the opponent comes back from a penalty, when the opponent comes back from something else, we cannot allow ourselves to have these doubts during the match, so they must maintain this level of intensity, and that they force themselves to maintain this level of intensity for longer in any case than just after the goal.
