« We got into the game quite well before Bordeaux scored, although they hadn't had any clear-cut chances yet. We were a bit hasty at first, but then we calmed down and managed to make the difference.

 

We created chances and I think we could have scored more goals. As soon as we developed our game, we had chances. The team is progressing, even if we still have a lot of work to do.


These games are difficult, and the Cup is a special competition. This Bordeaux team doesn't have players from the fourth division. They're a fast team with a very good number 9 (editor's note: Andy Carroll). Winning away from home is still progress for us. I'm pleased with our attacking performance.

 

Collectively, we still need to improve our game, particularly by getting better at passing the ball to opponents. The team is still learning. »
