What does this new defeat inspire you?
We are all extremely disappointed, but not dejected. That's the watchword. There was no worst possible scenario. We know that with the bad results, we will have a lot of people behind us, but we have to ignore that. We must stay united and work even harder to reverse these poor results.

How do you explain this nightmarish start to the meeting?
We start badly, we concede a goal. Afterwards, we knew it was going to be complicated because Le Havre is a team that defends very well in low blocks. They knew how to manage, we didn't have a lot of chances. We take a goal that is still avoidable. The most important thing is how we react.

How do you react to the anger of the supporters and the interruption of the match?
It's the same everywhere. When there are bad results at clubs, the supporters are not happy. They expressed it in their own way, I don't necessarily have a reaction to that. Personally, it doesn't affect me because I'm focused on results. It's complicated enough as it is not to concentrate on anything else. It's normal. We have bad results, we are not going to expect to be applauded. We will move forward with those who support us. We will report at the end of the season. I don't think we're tourists. I'm inside, I know that everyone gives 100% and that everyone is affected when there is a defeat.

Isn't the group lacking leaders?
Yes and no. Of course we can think so with the bad results but I think there are still leaders in the team. We have a strong, experienced group, and it hurts our hearts to see us like this. We want to give more, to show the best of ourselves and it doesn't work. You shouldn't talk too much either. The most important thing is to be focused on the field and to stay united. When the results are not good and it is difficult, the only ones we can rely on are the teammates and the staff. We all put ourselves in this situation together, we all have to get out of it together. And this is how we will move forward.
The results crisis is not new…
No, it's been going on for years. I'm in a good position to talk about it because I've been here for a while and the seasons are similar. We know it. You have to focus on simple things, with a united group and only one idea in mind, winning matches.
