"Sorry to the supporters. It's a very heavy defeat, with the series of points we have lost. The supporters must have a lot of patience. We risk losing touch with the teams at the top of the table.

“We can't do the sh*t we did today. We have to respect the shirt, and the least we can do is run, fight on the field. Today, we didn't do anything.

When we do sh*t, we lose, because all the teams are good in Ligue 1, as in the Champions League.”
