Brest is full of confidence, we will be in difficulty for this match but we can do it. We have qualities, we can decide what we do but not the result. Availability, courage, generosity, the duration of this quality. We can decide and we will take what we have to take from this match. We are ready to go to Brest ».
He was then able to display his playing philosophy at a time when OL have had few certainties on the pitch since the start of the season. “ I really like playing football, attacking. My goal is to respect and give pleasure to the people who come to the stadium. I have in my head where we want to get to. We will arrive because we believe in this project. I want my team to move and attack spaces. When there is no space, you have to create them. The team must have common values. Afterwards we will put in place tactical and technical things”.
