« We scored at good times in the match and then afterwards, we were solid and the other team was forced to become unbalanced, that’s what happened for Caen. Afterwards we held on, we were solid on defensive set pieces. We had a well-controlled weak time in the first half. On the second, we stayed a little lower, having the will to counter, which happened several times. I think the goalkeeper (Rémy Riou) leaves them in the game because we have two 3-0 situations. It was a closed game. We knew that to win here, we had to score first because that would force the pistons to be a little higher, that they wouldn’t stay five behind. They were waiting for our mistake and we were waiting for theirs. We handled this game well. »
On Ibrahim Sissoko’s double: We know Ibra’s potential, the confidence he brings to the team. He’s a real pro. He prepares himself during the week to perform well on the weekend. Everyone will assess his game by the two goals he scores but I can guarantee you that on the defensive work, on the fact that he protects our axis by breaking the interior passing lines, he is generous. I’m happy for him, because we know what he went through last year. »
