…CLERMONT

We have the same goal as a few weeks ago, we want to finish on the podium! But we respect this team a lot, which has come out of four good matches recently, with two draws against PSG and Montpellier, a good performance in Lens and even a success against Reims.

…WE HAVE TO WIN

We have to win, that’s very clear! When you look at the standings, you may think it's an easy match, second against the bottom group, but it's not. It’s a very important match for them and for us, because they are at stake for their survival. They are fighting for their survival, so I expect a team that will defend very well and will be dangerous on the counter-attack and from set pieces. So we will have to be wary. I think we are favourites despite everything, and we will have to show it on Saturday.

…LAST DEFEAT

You can lose in Lyon, that's not the problem. We are still talking about one of the best teams in Ligue 1 in my opinion, which is even second in the return phase! On the other hand, I was very dissatisfied after the 1-0, because we were too passive in the game. They hurt us very badly in transition. I don't have the feeling at all that we were defeated, on the contrary we are already focused on the future and this reception in Clermont. There is no pressure, I want them to keep their aggressiveness, and I am sure that we can win on Saturday.

…BREEL EMBOLO

Breel brings us an additional solution in this group, in addition to bringing his energy. He gives a lot on the pitch, and he showed it against Lille and Lyon in particular. After a long absence, it is always difficult to get back into the rhythm of matches, especially with the intensity we put into matches. But I was happy with his return, and I repeat, he gives me more possibilities for this end of the season.

…PREPARATION

We still gave ourselves a chance to get out of this so we have to take it to the fullest. The week went more pleasantly than the previous ones, but we worked just as hard. It’s certain that it gives a positive dynamic in the group. We’re not going to go there to try to pay attention to the goal average or whatever. We will try to go there to win, we have to give ourselves the means to do so in any case.

…ABOUT THE MATCH

You have to play. You have to prepare conscientiously to succeed in a big match there. We will have to put in a big match, there is no doubt. Because they are playing their qualification for the Champions League, I don't think they will take us lightly, so it will be up to us. They lost the last match while still shaking Lyon . It was a huge match from both teams, I think with PSG and Brest they are the four best teams in the championship. There is Lille too. It’s powerful, it goes quickly, there are very good players, some of whom are among the best European players in their position in my opinion.

…NOT THE END

We think about positive things. We still gave ourselves a chance to come out of this so we have to take it to the fullest. Afterwards we are not crazy, we know that mathematically, it can end this weekend. But honestly, we didn't think about that, but rather about giving ourselves the means to beat this Monaco team.
