« It's especially on the nervous level that it becomes complicated. When we look at the number of yellow cards we have taken, particularly for protest, it is revealing. The players are having a hard time with the current situation, they are on edge. I tried to tell them: “Here we are, we’re making a decision, it’s against us, but we’re going to continue.” But when it's always against us, when we review the actions five, six, ten times, it's hard to take. It's a complicated time. The boxes? Of course, this poses a problem, because we are going to have suspended players. We have a limited squad, with important players injured. Today, we played young people like Chotard, who couldn't last 90 minutes. Their playing time must be managed carefully to avoid relapses. Many things need to change. For what ? Because I've only been here a month. Tonight I saw my team play. Looking at the content, I tell myself that we can do it. But there are still 22 games left, so there is no question of giving up. We will continue to work, because the team is progressing, the players are better physically, and I find them more invested. »
