"I am very pleased with Kvara's performances. He is a high-level player with a lot of ambition. I am very happy with the level he has shown since he arrived last season. He has a lot of qualities."
"There is a team that has picked up one more point than us, so we deservedly sit in second place. It's a source of motivation for us as a team. For the moment, we have four points less than we had a this stage last season. But when you see the injuries we have in the squad, I think we are doing really well in the league. There are also lots of other teams who are playing very well and are having good campaigns so far. It's over the course of the season that we will see who will be the best team, and for the moment, it's Lens."
“All teams that come to the Parc des Princes try to cause us problems. We know their qualities. Tomorrow will be difficult because they are a team that plays very well both with and without the ball. They've picked up a lot of points, especially in recent weeks with four consecutive wins. But it’s a source of motivation for us rather than a concern.”
“I think we are a very consistent team, reflecting our mentality. Right now, the league is even more motivating because there are teams like Lens, Rennes, Marseille, Lyon, Strasbourg, Monaco… It’s a source of motivation. And when I talk with my players, I feel the same confidence in our strengths and in what we want to achieve in this league.”
“It’s positive for me as a coach because all the players will want to give their best to show their national team managers that they’re ready to represent their country. It’s an incredible competition, the best that exists at national-team level. As a club coach, I’ve always thought it was a good thing to have a World Cup on the horizon, because every player will want to show their qualities.”
“The first thing we did was give the players some rest time. Time to recover, because it’s important. Almost all our players play for their national teams, so they are constantly playing, whether for their club or their country, which is why I like to give them this time off. After that, we worked on our attacking play, an aspect we consider important. We’re also looking to improve the physical condition of the players who play less, and I think we’ve had a very good week of training. We’re happy.”
