How do you explain the first missed half (2-0) in the derby on Sunday evening?
“Indeed, it was difficult. It’s sure that we made a very bad start. We were inhibited, put under pressure. It’s up to us to overrule this Thursday in this match against our supporters. ”

Is cutting a goal?
“Yes, of course when we play a semi-final against our supporters. But once we say that, we have to play at our best and do what we did in sequence and do it for a whole game. “
Claude #Puel 🎙 “The matches, you have to play them. To be an actor, you have to stay focused on the match and not on the consequences, whether positive or negative. There are no projections beyond this match. ” #ASSESRFC

Do you plan to recover the injured this Thursday?
“A priori no, apart from Camara who returns from suspension. There will also be no goal rotation. “

What are the strengths of your Rennes opponent?
“This is a team that we revived when we went to Rennes and I hope that it will revive us here (laughs). This is a team with good players and quality, capable of setting the game like day against. She is competitive but I like to think that it depends on us first. Even if it was Lyon opposite, we showed in the second half that we could move them. “
