"As always, I'm very happy with our draw. It will be fascinating to play against Chelsea, one of the best teams in England. We know them well, but there won't be any feeling of revenge because this is a different competition."
"We're aware that we need to improve our performances, but I've seen some positive signs. What makes me optimistic is the way in which we've been able to handle the various problems and circumstances that we've faced."
"What's different about Ligue 1 this season is that Lens are having an incredible season. As for ourselves, we're at our level, with a points tally that's more or less equivalent to that of our previous two seasons. Lens are in great form, and it's motivating to be up against a team of that level in the league. It will be difficult to finish ahead of them as they're right there with us, but we'll see whether or not they can put pressure on us after their game away to Strasbourg today."
"Matvey is a top goalkeeper and an international with his country, and he has all of the physical and technical attributes required of a modern keeper. He can play well with the ball at his feet, which is essential in terms of adapting to our style of play. Physically, he's very strong and very brave, which is important because we give our opponents a lot of space.
"He fits well with our playing style. In recent years, he's shown that he has personality and he's taken advantage of the opportunities that he's had. I'm very happy to have three goalkeepers of that level, including Lucas Chevalier and Renato Marin. What I want is for those three keepers to be ready to help the team and to play."
"There are different types of injury. It isn't easy, but it is what it is, and we need to adapt to it. It's a real problem for us to have key players like Fabián out injured, but we hope that he'll be back with us as soon as possible."
"I'm ready; I can play tomorrow if you want! We need to adapt. As a manager, I'd love to have every player ready, but that's impossible this season. Last season was very intense, and we're paying the price for that this season. The players aren't machines; they're humans. We can't plan anything, so we always need to adapt and to improve."
"Le Havre's situation now is different to what it was in the past as they're in a more comfortable position in the table. They're a different team now because they play with a lot of central players. Playing away to Le Havre has never been easy; I remember last year in particular. It'll be tight, but it's important for us to win. We're ready to perform."
"There are players who can play in different positions. At the moment, we've got a lot of physical issues in midfield, but we've also got various options, so we need to think about the best one for tomorrow's game against Le Havre."
