Meeting HighlightsReims
We know it will be a difficult match, perhaps one of the most difficult. They have a lot of good players. They made big investments this season. They have a good coach. I think it will be a very interesting match tactically, because the opposing coach prepares his matches well. They did well when they played against us. I expect a tactically difficult match. I think it will be a tactical war. They are also physically stronger than us.
Injuries
Not only Nabil Bentaleb, Adam Ounas and Tiago Djalo are available, all other football players are. Tiago Santos is ready to play, he has continued training in recent days. We made a special program for Adam Ounas. For Nabil (Bentaleb), I think he will come back with us after Le Havre.

Lille are strong both collectively and individually, one of the best teams in Ligue 1 in terms of game plan. With more realism at times, they could have been top of Ligue 1 for some time. This match will be a determined and very tactical match, because there are two teams that want to play. It will be very complex but also very interesting. We will do everything to get points there and do something interesting on the field.
Winning the League?
This year's championship is extremely competitive. Anyone can beat anyone. If you can control the small details, you usually win. We will try to do this too. We played very poorly after the first half against Brest. I don't know if we would have had the same conversation today if Marshall had scored from 5.5 meters. These are things you can't control. Details are important in football.
