Sissoko and his horde of supporters debrief the match in the mixed zone

Ibrahim Sissoko began by explaining who he was accompanied by: “They are the little ones from the town where I grew up, Argenteuil. I invited them specially for this match. I don't know if it's luck but it worked out well tonight. I'm happy and I'm enjoying with them (smile). A new generation of Greens supporters in Argenteuil? Yes I think (smile). Since my arrival, there have already been quite a few but here, they are future Stéphanois I think!“

Subsequently, the Saint-Etienne striker returns to the performance of the Greens against Strasbourg: “It’s certain that we can be reassured. In Angers, we took a good beating. We were able to react this evening so I’m happy. The state of mind, there is nothing to say, everyone did the job, everyone was decisive. (…) The coach's message to the substitutes? Simply bring it. When we make changes, it's to bring something new and tonight it paid off I think. (…) The different faces depending on the matches? I couldn't explain it honestly. We are good players but sometimes it may be confidence, sometimes it may simply be bad choices. But in any case we showed that we could react. This is very good and we must maintain this course of action.

Everyone is looking forward to putting together some good performances and really kicking off our season. We see that there are matches where we were more comfortable than others and others where we were really in difficulty. I think that if we keep this discipline, we can hope for something.”
