Julien Stéphan: "It's a bad start but it's not over".

The second leg:
«It's a bad start but it's not over. That seems to me to be a clear-sighted approach given the result of the first leg. But we're going to take our chances tomorrow. In any case, we're going to try to create the conditions from the start of the match to get it going. We'll be taking stock at half-time to see where we stand. »

What levers?
« We're not thinking about the number of goals we have to score, but how we can get the game going and try to be a little irrational. If we come up with something conventional and very calculated, I don't think we'll be able to do it because they're stronger than us. If we take them in a different direction, maybe we can create a different atmosphere. We need to get off to a winning start and score first so that we can take the stadium with us a bit more. We know we'll be up against strong, experienced opposition, but we're going to try and build on our history.»

The athletic approach :
« I don't have the impression that my legs are heavy. It's normal to feel a bit tired, but when you win games, you recover more quickly. Psychologically, it's a lot easier, there's joy, good humour, a lot of positivity. That makes recovery a lot easier. Tomorrow will certainly be a match of Champions League intensity, and we'll have to respond to that. We'll have the same thing on Sunday, so let's get on with the first one. »
