Julien Stéphan : « We took the game by the scruff of the neck. »

« We took the game by the scruff of the neck. We managed to take the lead quickly and double the score thanks to a great cross from Lorenz Assignon and a fine header from Arnaud Kalimuendo. The end of the first half wasn't great, though, and we pulled back a little too much. The third goal was crucial if we were to take a definite lead. We're aware of the construction process, we can gain time but we can't buy it. We're working as hard as we can to put our players in the best possible position. It's an environment that needs to be reassured, more than a dressing room. It's good to have won, it brings confidence, but we'll have to perform well on Saturday against Lens, an opponent who has a lot more automatisms. »
