Habib Beye : 

"In my opinion, we lost two points. We sat back after the goal. We spent the rest of the match playing under pressure and Angers were able to come back. I'm not satisfied with the quality, we need to be much better. I don't want us to have that attitude.

 

We need to be more accurate with our crosses, but we mustn't forget the quality of the goal we scored. We need to improve our inside game and our connections. After half-time, we brought the ball out with six or seven players in our system, which is too many, and in that situation, we didn't have enough weight offensively.

 

We will always suffer from transitions given the position of our wing-backs. The lads need to improve their communication and leadership among themselves; we've already conceded five or six goals like that. These young players need to take the lead in these situations, and we need to work on that.

 

The arrival of Esteban gives us presence in the box, and it's good that he scored.

Estéban Lepaul :

"I've had a strange week. I haven't had time to think about it, I've tried to prepare for the match as best I can, and it's been well managed. I've made the switch and I'm now a Stade Rennais player. I'm in a team that likes to play and attack, and I have no doubt that it's going to go well. We have a quality squad, and I'm going to adapt as best I can with everyone else."

Seko Fofana : 

«We feel frustrated because we lacked experience in certain situations. We were still in control of the match and we got ourselves into trouble a bit. We tried to score but it didn't happen. The break will do us good, we'll be able to fix a lot of things and come back stronger. »
