Michel Der Zakarian (Brest coach, beaten by Lens 2-3): “When we come back to the score from 0-3 to 2-3, we believe in it. Afterwards, we had to better manage everything that happened before, play better, so as not to find ourselves at 0-3. During the first quarter of an hour, we defended well, but we were not good technically. Players were also transparent. It is difficult to win matches when you have players below their level.
Lens played its game, its score. We could have defended better on some goals. When we had the ball, we were mostly very poor. In terms of impact, we have the capacity to do much better. But you have to run, keep the balls … It should be remembered that the players who entered brought a little more to the collective. We had shown some interesting things in the friendlies, but the competition is something else. There were too many defensive errors. »
