“It was very important. We knew before the match how difficult it would be to play right after the Champions League - that’s to be expected. And if you look at the results after this kind of match, it’s always tough, especially here in Nice. We didn't have it all our own way, but I like the way we prepared for the match and how we started. I’m very happy with our mentality; it’s important for confidence and for the team. Now we need to do our recovery, think about after the international break, and prepare for the next league game.
“We saw a lot of good things, with Nuno Mendes playing as a winger rather than a fullback. Lucas Hernandez started and was extraordinary. There was also Dro, and Lucas Beraldo, who played in a new position. That’s something I like because it shows the players’ ability to play in different positions. It also shows the team’s mentality, which is to play with an attacking mindset at all times. I’m especially pleased with these players, who have shown that we have great quality.”
"It's great. I'm very happy to have scored my first goal. I always try and give my best to help the team, I'm always ready. Above all, I'm happy for the team's victory. We knew this was an important match and I think we played very well, from start to finish. We came in at half-time full of confidence and we started the second half just as well. I'm happy to have helped the team, very happy, that's what I'm here for, that's why I signed here and I'm very happy, especially for the win."
