Worried?
"The competition that everyone loves, the Champions League, is coming. It's a bit of a difficult moment for us, because there are injured players. We must wait to see the results of the exams for the three players. We know our capacity to adapt, and we must think about responding as a team. I am calm, and I hope we can overcome this. We must accept this situation; it's high-level football. We prepared for the match in one way. We must do a Tetris to distribute minutes to the players and see things globally. We want to give joy to our supporters again in the Champions League. I hope that Wednesday will be a nice day."
Mbaye starter on Wednesday?
"I have different options, it's not the time to say who will play. I have confidence in the entire team. We have many players who can play in several positions. It's a positive possibility. We must accept that and look to improve the team. It was a complete match, and we knew it would be difficult."
Why I spent the first period in the stands?
"For a very long time, I have been thinking with the staff about improving our performance. I saw rugby coaches watch with a different perspective. I saw the first period in the stands and it's magnificent! It's different because I can control everything, and it's an interesting option that I could use in the future. You can do a perfect debriefing because you see who was good on the pitch. It gives a lot of information, and I think it's positive. I saw the second period in the normal way."
What role will have Barcola with the absences of Doué and Dembélé?
"He will have the same role as usual. He has been a very important player; he is an international all the time with France. He has the quality, he is fast, he is a different player. We are very happy to have Bradley. He played at a very high level last season. It's a special moment for him and for us."
