A disrupted preparation for RC Lens?
“We did exactly what we wanted to do during the break. Ruben was added to the list of unavailable, but we had 7 to 8 young players available depending on our needs, those who deserved to train with us. We always had a group of 15-16 players to do what we needed to do. Jo (Jhoanner Chavez) and Papy (Nampalys Mendy) return. We’re going to pick them up on the field on Friday, it’s never ideal for preparing for a match, but it’s the same for all the coaches. We adapt, we deal with it. There’s not too much to worry about. »
Saint-Etienne? People are a little too focused on the match in Nice, they had a lot of other matches with interesting, very clean content.
The match against Saint-Etienne
“I’m expecting a great football celebration. These are two clubs that are quite similar in identity and values, especially in terms of supporters. It’s a real stadium, with a great atmosphere. People are a little too focused on the match in Nice, they had a lot of other matches with interesting, very clean content. This is going to be another big match, sold out, against very good opposition. They put a lot of home teams in difficulty, including another team from the North (Lille, editor’s note). We will have to be very good, very concentrated, to take points there. »
Kevin Danso available for Saint-Etienne
“He has a very big smile. It’s great that he’s back. He underwent the examinations and the necessary intervention. He is ready to return to the group. Because of his quality, his experience, his leadership profile, it will be good for everyone, including himself. It’s very very good. »
