…GOALS CONCEDED

The goals were conceded differently between Brest and Paris. The observation is that we are fragile at the start of the match. But what I criticise more is the defensive attitude towards Paris. Our game organisation was adequate, with a good attitude, but unfortunately, we did not have the dynamism necessary to manage this aspect. I think there are things to improve on this aspect. We must particularly work on counter-pressing and defensive withdrawal. Even though we lost that game 4-1, there were some positives. We must perform better in the areas where we have been less good and maintain what has been done well.

…LAST DEFEAT

These are always steps to take, especially when they happen like this. The best way to regain confidence is to get back on the field and practice. This is what we did after two days of rest. We have to keep working and we are one point away from where we are aiming for. Our goal will be to occupy it at the end of the season.

…MONACO

It’s a team that has progressed through successive matches. She has found enthusiasm and a clear style of play in what she does. We will have to take these elements into account and be able to seize the opportunities that arise from them. They occupy a lot of the centre of the field. We will see if there has been any development compared to our last match. If we are able to resolve the problems in one match, that will be very good.

…INJURY REPORT

Normally everyone will be there, but there are some uncertainties. Nicolas Tagliafico is a little unwell, but we have to test him again tomorrow.

…ABOUT THE MATCH

We know it will be a big game on Sunday, the third this week. They started the season badly and made several coach changes. Since the arrival of Pierre Sage, they have been in very good form and have taken 34 points like us. We prepared well and analysed this team. We are going to play in a big stadium, with a great atmosphere against a historic club. My team likes to play this type of match.

…CONTINUITY

It’s true that we are in good shape but we have not yet reached our goal because we want to finish in second place. So I want my players to stay focused and that's why we are fully focused on the next match. Against Brest and Lille, we did a good job and managed two clean sheets, we must continue the process. We want to continue the good series away and get three more points on the road.

…INJURY REPORT

I don't know if everyone will be able to be 100% after having already played two matches this week. We have three days of recovery, it’s one more compared to Lille but this possibility of turnover is always in my mind. Everything remains open.

…BREEL EMBOLO

Breel did a good job against Lille when he came on. He had an incredible impact and is capable of bringing something other than Wissam or Folarin. He could start on Sunday in Lyon.

...CLEAN SHEETS

We are defending very well at the moment. Against Brest, for example, we did not concede many chances. From attackers to defenders, everyone is more focused and we defend as a team. I'm happy because I know we are still capable of scoring. Radek is also doing an incredible job and has managed five clean sheets in the last eight games. It's very positive and I'm happy for him. He had a very good impact, he stops a lot of shots and talks a lot.
