Claude Puel (coach of Saint-Étienne, after the defeat against PSG, 2-3) : “We made life difficult for them, with a little more work we could bring in at least one point. We score a great first goal, we celebrate it too much, and we quickly cash the equalizer behind. Led to the mark, we have the character to play even higher, to return to the score. It hurts a lot 15, 20 seconds from the end, to concede this goal. I think we would have deserved a point, we have a big game, which is not rewarded, because of some lack of experience. It was necessary to have less effusions, to have the experience of rounding up everyone immediately … We paid cash for it, there are a lot of regrets, but we have to get the good things out and move on.
I am very proud of the game of my players in terms of animation, solidarity, cohesion. With hindsight, they will realize that it is formative. I hope to see them again with the same enthusiasm and the same concentration next week to prepare well for the match against Brest. “
