“It went well but it wasn’t easy. We have the result, but we still need to improve our content, that’s for sure. In the first quarter of an hour, the Bastia team was superior to us. We are happy to have opened the score in our first situation practically. Behind, we were perhaps more effective defensively. The scenario of the match made it perhaps also easier on the minds, with a second goal scored quickly in the second half too. But we must cruelly raise our technical level, our ability to make better choices when playing in possession. I find that too often we have the ball that burns our feet, that we lose balls that we shouldn't lose and that could also have cost us dearly. […]. A penalty could have been awarded against us, there are few factors that make things go in the right direction for us today. »
A state of mind in clear progress
“Our project is not only linked to the game project: there is the identity, the state of mind and the style of play that we want to lead. But the foundations, the bases, are the state of mind. From the moment it is there, obviously the game can exist. I think we have sometimes forgotten certain fundamental things in the past, such as giving of oneself, the sense of sacrifice, working for one's teammates. From the moment we have this state of mind, our game can finally exist. I think we may have wanted to put the game before the state of mind, sometimes. But to win a match, you need the basics. »
The surprising team composition at kick-off
“I wanted to reward the newcomers seen against Martigues, I think it was them who made the difference in Gueugnon. They finally had to start a match, even without being in their preferred position: I'm thinking of Mickaël Le Bihan, of Bilal Brahim… They stood together, they stood together when we didn't have the ball which allowed us to move towards something that drives me: selection based on merit. No one is unbeatable, there is no status in this team. The idea is that everyone gives their all and that we can reshuffle the cards each time so that the team performs better and better. The result is again a victory. So we are right […]. For Yannis Clémentia, in this space-time given to us, I wanted to give him the opportunity to express himself. Done. Now, be careful, as with any player, nothing is certain, you have to prove it every time. His first half is not at the level of what he should produce, the second is more coherent. »
