Kylian Mbappé was for the second time in a row on the sidelines at the kick-off of the match against Stade de Reims. Will Still, the Reims coach, welcomed the news with a smile: “a sigh of relief? No, because there are other players who have quality on the pitch… When the three come into play (Kolo Muani, Mbappé and Dembélé), you tighten your buttocks and you hope for the best… We showed of personality, defensively or offensively, and we managed to manage the strong moments and the weak moments quite well. The Reims coach was especially satisfied with his team’s result, ending in a draw (2-2).
“It’s a super interesting point, with content that was interesting from start to finish. We had a little hesitation after the goal we scored, unfortunately. We have become a little passive and wait-and-see. It’s always annoying to concede a goal from a set piece. But the reaction after that and the content was quite courageous and interesting” he added at the end of the match press conference.
