Will Still: “I am told that at half-time there is a cinema that is not possible to put pressure on the referee”
“From the moment the referee is 1.50m from the action and he doesn't whistle a foul, it seems complicated to me… But we can talk about everything that happens before, a handball from Rabiot in the area just before which is not whistled, a foul on Angelo (Fulgini) which is not whistled… that's a lot of decisions which are questionable Afterwards you shouldn't look for noon at 2 p.m. when you do it. tell me that at half-time there is a cinema not possible to put pressure on the referee, strangely in the second half there are things that are not very clear but it is up to you to interpret it happens too often. But it's not the refereeing that makes us lose, it's the fact that we don't score.”
Valentin Rongier: “No one cheated”
“Little by little, we managed to establish our game, to take control of the ball. This is what allowed us to win this match even if it is never easy. In football, only the results The game also counts of course but the results take precedence After this big disappointment against Auxerre before the break, it was important to get off to a good start, especially to prepare for this important match against Monaco next Sunday. me, it wasn't by in relation to the match, but in relation to my personal case The team needed a lot of character and all the players responded. Nobody cheated, everyone ran, gave themselves in all the duels. and once again this allows us to leave here with the three points We know what we have to do on the pitch We had prepared very well for the match. We knew exactly what awaited us today as a team. very aggressive who was going to come get us. There was going to be a lot of second balls and that's what happened.”
Geronimo Rulli: “The character and mentality appealed to me”
“It was a very complicated match against this team. It was a bit like in Strasbourg, with the desire to control the pitch. It's more complicated for us to play football in these conditions. We did A very good match, especially in the second half. These three points are very important for us. We will try to demonstrate at home next time. We played this match perfectly. It was very hard there, including the past truce. in Argentina with Leo (Balerdi), we talked a lot about the importance of these two matches.
The objective now is to do the same thing at the Vélodrome. As a team, we have a lot of room for improvement. The next home game against Monaco is the perfect time to win.”
