Yanis Merdji (Girondins striker, author of his 8th goal of the season). “We knew it would be a complicated match, on a difficult pitch and against an opponent who takes the ball out well and put us in difficulty there. But we were strong. We conceded chances but we weren't really put in much danger. We knew it wouldn't necessarily be a good match but we secured the three points. If we do the whole season like that, it doesn't bother us. The main thing is to climb at the end. We had a consistent match. Compared to last week against Saint-Brieuc (0-0) where things were humming, we showed our face, our qualities. I don't look at the rankings. We only have one thing to think about: our state of mind, our matches.
Cédric Yambéré (captain of the Girondins). “We were keen to move forward after last week's misstep (0-0 against Saint-Brieuc). It was difficult against a team with 3 or 5 behind. We did what was necessary. We lacked technical mastery. Like Blois, they do a lot of running behind the back. We didn't know how to manage it too much in the first half, it was better in the second. What I remember from this first part of the championship is the state of mind, the commitment. We must keep this character. We are 10 points behind Saint-Malo, we will perhaps be 13 with two games late next week. We have to focus on us. If we collect points, we will put pressure on Saint-Malo. »
