Meeting Highlights…FUTURE
I’ve been coaching for a long time, more than fifteen years. I know cuisines by heart. I don't think about that, I'm really into working with the staff, with the players. Compared to the reactions that I see from the players, their attitudes, the mentality, they respond, we are together.
…RUMOURS
The job of a coach is to try to have an impact, to prepare well what we can prepare, to be close to the players, give them the road map, advice, show them the spaces that we will be able to use. These are the things I can act on. The rest, behind the scenes, I cannot act on and what I cannot act on, I live with.
…SUPPORT
Yes, I have no reason to complain about that. We are together, we exchange all the time, there is transparency. I have never hidden anything as a coach, in all my clubs. Management is always aware of what is happening, good and bad. There is no grey area. From there... You see me working, it's a lot of work... Afterwards yes, I would like to have more points.

Patrick Vieira
Manager on Strasbourg…ABOUT MATCH
The result is very important and we need victories. We have to be solid defensively, which is the case currently even if we conceded a few goals. But we have to be able to score goals. Our performance here against Nantes was not good at all. We had missed our match. We're going to have to be much better. The most important thing is the animation, regardless of the game system.
…NANTES
We are going to come up against a team that had a good match against Marseille. We have strengths and qualities to showcase so we will have to put out a big match. We are focusing on ourselves and the opponent. has no energy to waste elsewhere, even less on refereeing.
…INJURY REPORT
There is the possibility of starting Andrey Santos. J-E Aholou was also in the group the last match. We will have to review the plans with the suspensions of Junior Mwanga and Ibou Sissoko. Jessy is unlikely to be in the group. Moses and Abakar are still out.
