Meeting Highlights…AVAILABLE PLAYERS
All the players are available, except Johann Lepenant who is returning. We will have a small construction site on our left side between Henrique and Tagliafico which are uncertain. The new recruits are operational, apart from the player who arrived last night, they are all available.
…TRANSFER WINDOW
Pretty positive, there were six movements in each direction. I want to congratulate everyone who worked on it. It is up to the staff and myself to promote these performances. It will bring competition. The idea when we strengthen ourselves is to offer new solutions, this redistributes the cards and changes attitudes. These are positive issues to deal with.
…MARSEILLE
It’s not the context of the match that should ask you to increase your cursor. Points have no smell and you have to earn as many as possible. Whether against Marseille or another opponent. I consider a team to be better when it has beaten me twice. As a competitor I cannot accept losing twice. As a coach I have never beaten Marseille and I like the first ones. Beyond the result and the points we will take, what matters to me is the attitude. We must have a dynamic, forward-looking attitude and not simply resist. I hate being passive.

Jean-Louis Gasset
Manager on Marseille…INJURIES
Pape Gueye was not available, he was injured in the selection. Kondogbia did not train. Murillo began custom work. Veretout has a little glitch, like Aubameyang. Clauss trained for the first time this week with us, yesterday he worked alone. Yes I think I could have them all available. It's normal, especially after a sectional elimination, to have closed and sad faces. It’s a hard blow for Morocco or Senegal to go out in 8th but they must re-mobilize.
…LYON MATCH
You shouldn't look at the standings. It’s a special match, a bit of a trap. Lyon has many recruits, a different face with valuable players. This is a team that can put you in difficulty.
…POTENTIAL
We have not yet managed to exploit the full potential of the team. We can improve at the level of the opposing half of the field. Against Monaco, if we came out of the first pressing, we had difficulty verticalizing the game. We have the qualities to do it. We can fight for the CL. We have all the tools to study our adversaries. We need continuity in our results. We would need 3-4 more points, I would cite Monaco and Strasbourg.
