**Club Statement: **

Paulo Fonseca will held the press conference before the match.

...AGGRESSIVE FOOTBALL

We are in a good period. We are certain about the state of mind and the quality of the game that we want to put in place. Afterwards it will be necessary to add ingredients in impact, aggressiveness.

...ABOUBACAR ALI

I discovered Aboubacar Ali in recent months. François Keller told me many good things about his qualities. He had some very interesting training sessions, some good starts. It's a very good thing that he was able to sign his first professional contract. Now we have to help him progress and create this little path so that he continues to grow because his potential is interesting.

...WIN NEEDED

On the way out, we found the resources, the courage and the solidarity to return to the match and win this match. This meeting was important for us in these areas. Abakar Sylla is a young player. There was a time of adaptation, time to digest the expectations after his transfer. We have no doubt about his ability to take the project as high as possible. He did not sign for a single season. I think Lille were the best team on the pitch yesterday. They lacked success. It’s a solid team that showed great quality in the game. They deserved to qualify for the semi-finals. It will be a great challenge for us.

...INJURY REPORT

Apart from Moses who is sick this morning, everyone is on deck. Rabby has returned to training with the group. Ema is also present.
