"I'm very happy with what I saw in that match, and with the team's resilience in pushing to winitafter being 2-0 down. I'm pleased with how the players handled this difficulty. Overall, I think our team has shown a lot of resilience in the face of the problems we've encountered this season and in the previous two seasons, and that's something important."
"We're going to approach the match against Metz like any other. It's a very important match because we need to put pressure on Lens and take all three points. I can't remember any match against the bottom team that has gone without a hitch. We need those three points."
"Lens are a real team, they've won a lot of matches and they deserve to be there. For us, it's motivating. A few matches ago, we talked to the players about how difficult it is to win the championship. We have about the same number of points as in the previous two seasons, but it's more difficult because our competitors have improved."
"For Ousmane, it was a blow. We don't want to take any risks with the players, but injuries are part of top-level football. The difference between this season and the last two is the number of injuries. It prevents us from rotating the squad and has an impact on playing time, so we have to manage it differently. This season is very unusual, but we have to deal with it."
"Every day, I think about giving them a rest, but we absolutely must win against Metz. They're an opponent we've always had trouble with, and we know tomorrow will be no different. Of course, I'd like to give Warren and Viti a break."
