Stade de Reims coach Will Still analyzed his team’s victory against Olympique Lyonnais this Sunday (2-0).
Once again, Olympique Lyonnais disappointed. Les Gones did not find the resources to avoid the trap set by Stade de Reims this Sunday (0-2). A result which obviously bears the signature of Will Still. The coach of the Champagne club analyzed this meeting at a press conference.
According to Will Still, it was the management of highlights that made the difference. “ This second place (at the final whistle before the 3 p.m. matches) is a bit anecdotal at this time of the season, but it’s obviously great. We knew how to show ourselves mature. We knew how to manage the weak times and the strong times. We were surprised by Lyon’s system and lineup, so it took us five to ten minutes to adapt. We took a nice advantage before half-time and then we managed all aspects of the match and we didn’t give Lyon much. We were able to show great maturity, it’s proof that Stade de Reims is moving forward.“
While Reims climbed onto the podium, Will Still congratulated his troops. “ We showed an interesting image. At times, we felt the Lille match in our legs, but we ultimately managed very well. We scored two goals which were collectively very well delivered and scored in key moments of the match. This allows us to better manage emotions and events afterwards. For the moment, the ranking means nothing. We stay with our feet on the ground, we have peace of mind to prepare for the coming week and play a big match against Monaco. The players just have the pride and ego to win the next match. Everyone wants to pull in the same direction. And you have to try to keep everyone involved. »
