Julien Stéphan (Rennes coach, beaten in Lille): “The first period was clearly dominated by Lille, we did not make things easy by conceding this goal quickly. Lille was in the lead, they logically led to the break. But over the last half hour, we managed to reverse the course of the match, we were able to create lags, have strike positions, but not enough to equalize.

We lost logically throughout the match even if we do not have to be ashamed of our second period. We have injured people, we follow up every three or four days, this is not an excuse, but an observation. We have the 9th budget of L1, we played against a Champions League team, which has experience. We have a young workforce and we know that we will have to fight. We must not panic because we lost a game and we were a little worse. “
