« It was unforced errors that cost us the match, but we had come here to win and we believed we could. The scoreline at half-time was harsh, but then we tried to attack with a lot of players in our opponents' half. It was difficult to come back.
We lacked inventiveness when Nice started to pull back. The team tried, but I regret those mistakes because we could have come back at half-time with a draw. There are always things to build on and we're going to continue to work hard with the same high standards we set ourselves this evening.
Steve's situation is complicated because of the rumours. The important thing is that he's our keeper today, that's clear. He's a very experienced keeper, but it still affects him as a human being.
Seko Fofana? We had planned for him to play twenty minutes. When you're not at 100%, it's bound to be difficult.»
