“After analysing the match in the usual way, I think we did a lot of things well. We suffered at times, it’s one of the biggest matches we have played, but we did a lot of things well and we can use what we did well in this match to move forward. You need to know how to manage that, to find the positives, and find the value in all that we accomplish in the fairest and most accurate way possible. I am pleased with what the players have done in training this week and I think we can also see from our results that we are progressing. We are focused on the future and we need to continue on our path.”
“We have incredible facilities. But at the same time, it’s a sign of the ambition of this club, to want to grow and perform. We have all of the tools at our disposal to give confidence to our youngsters, and it’s important for us to have this connection with the youth academy.”
“We want to win this match against a very good team, with a great coach. I like the football that they play. It’s also a very nice stadium and it will be an important moment for us. We can’t wait to play this match and we will play in our usual way to get the win.”
“I am very motivated because I like challenges! It’s an interesting period because we need to find solutions, but I am positive. We need to accept that these things happen in our sport and it’s part of daily life of football at the highest level.”
“I like to see the reaction from my players following a defeat. When you get into the dressing room after a loss, you can see and analyse a lot of things. I can see what they are like, how they work in training. And with everything I see, I am very happy and positive. The match at Lyon will be a great opportunity to show who we are as a team, we are approaching this match with a lot of ambition.”
“In a high performing team, there are a lot of players who are important. Gonçalo made his 100th appearance recently, Kang-In can do the same at Lyon. It’s an impressive stat, it also shows how important he is. He knows that he can improve, but we are very happy to work with him, and I am very pleased to see him reach this landmark. “
“He has been very important for the team and for me. He is a very different player, because he shows his quality all of the time, no matter how confident he is. He is very mature, he is always ready, it’s really great to work with him. He is a leader, he shows how a player should behave even when he is lacking confident. He has been and continues to be a role model.”
“He has played a lot and taken advantage of other injuries. But Senny is a very versatile player. He can play in so many roles, that he doesn’t need others to get injured in order to play. It’s a real strength for us, when the opposition doesn’t know where a player will play. Senny is also a great role model. We know that in Lyon, we will be able to see a very different team and that is definitely one of our strengths.”
