Laurent Fournier Quotations

I don't have any explanation for this defeat. I'm stunned, and I don't know what to say.

For some time, things just haven't been working,

We stayed 30 minutes in the corridor, ... We were then put in two small rooms with stewards smoking cigarettes next to us and (radio station) NRJ conducting interviews 10 meters away. It's not an excuse (for the defeat), but it's very annoying.

The players need to become competitive again and, to do that, they will need to take stock of the season so far. I want them to finish matches completely shattered but with a great deal of pride,

But the most important thing for the club is to regain its soul.

There is still a long way to go but it's easier to work hard when you are on the top of the standings. I'm certain that we can still improve the level of our play. We are not at our best yet.

So we can't afford to let points go at home. We need to take the three points on Saturday and snatch a third consecutive victory on our ground.

This is going to be very tight until the end of the season. Lyon, Lens and Monaco are going to be tough rivals,

It's now a major objective, especially for the players. The players are the ones that matter.
