00:00Do you have any regrets this evening?
00:05From the stands, the gap seemed to be big between the two teams and there was nothing you could do
00:15against Arsenal.
00:21In terms of what my players gave, I have no regrets.
00:28Of course, we need to analyse the fact that we conceded three goals in just over five minutes, which we're
00:35not pleased about.
00:36But in terms of our game plan, we wanted to stay in the match until the end.
00:41We knew it would be difficult at this stadium against this team, but we did it for 60 minutes after
00:47Arsenal's first goal.
00:49We lost confidence and we lost our shape.
00:55And then it all moved very quickly.
00:58I think the Arsenal substitutions made the difference and they increased their intensity and their tempo and we paid for
01:05that.
01:05I think the result is harsh on us because we battled hard and I don't think the players deserve this
01:13scoreline.
01:17Well, David, thanks for your time.
01:19You did really well in the first half, but I guess Michel Artega calls some starters and finishers.
01:24They go on up and then he looks at the bench and brings on all that quality.
01:29You must have been pleased up until that point with your performance, but it's a tough team and squad to
01:34come and play, isn't it?
01:35It's really tough and of course with the players they always have on the bench, they can change the rhythm
01:43of the game.
01:43It's what they did tonight.
01:45For us it was difficult to keep up the rhythm that they put after 60 minutes, but yes, we have
01:53to keep the good things that we did for 55-60 minutes.
01:57Because coming here and achieve a good result, I think you need many, many things aligned and we didn't have
02:05all the things aligned.
02:07That's why the result.
02:09But I think, as I said, I think it's too hard for the players as a score.
02:14They didn't deserve this score.
02:31Without Thiago Santos, you started Maxima Gopi for the first time.
02:40What did you make of his performance?
02:46And knowing that Thiago is out for a while, could he now play more?
02:53Maxima Gopi is a young player, he's a strong defender, a central defender, he's his second match as a professional
03:02at this stadium against top quality players, and he did very well considering he was out of position.
03:11He has lots of potential, we believe in him as a club.
03:20And given the conditions this evening, with the injury to Thiago, he's going to be a very important player for
03:26us, going forward until the end of the season.
03:34Bonsoir David et Simon Jarny pour la radio ICI Nord.
03:37Est-ce que vous ne regrettez pas votre approche et la philosophie que vous avez mis en place sur le
03:43début de match, c'est-à-dire que vous l'effondrez vous subir face à cette équipe?
03:46Vous l'avez très bien fait en première période.
03:48You did it very well in the first half, but then you were overrun in the second half.
03:54Maybe, could you have played with the higher line?
03:58No, I don't have any regrets.
04:03This was the plan that I had in my head, I wanted to stay in the game until the end.
04:07I think that if we look at what we did at Nice and Toulouse, instead of facing 20 opportunities, it
04:21could have been 40 against Arsenal.
04:23So I decided to play some more conservative players this evening.
04:29That doesn't mean that it will always be the case that we did what we did against Paris Saint-Germain
04:35tonight as well.
04:46You said yesterday, you're still trying to find your way for the team.
04:50What do you think playing this type of game against this type of opponent can do for your team?
04:56It's always a fantastic experience, learning experience for the players to play this type of game.
05:03I have a lot of young players that today was the first or the second time that they played the
05:07Champions League in their lives.
05:09So, of course, they have to take the good things that they've done, how they competed, how they competed face
05:17-to-face against one of the best teams in the world.
05:21And they will take a lot of learning from tonight and they will be better.
05:25And that's why I'm here as well to make my players improve, to make them improve during the period I
05:32will be in this club.
05:34It's one of my goals.
05:35So, of course, it's important to play this kind of games.
05:48We maybe didn't expect any points this evening, but now you've conceded six and have zero points from two games.
05:57Next up, could the Galatasaray match be pivotal?
06:01And if you don't beat them, how difficult could it be to get through?
06:06We have six games to go, so there aren't really any regrets about tonight.
06:10It's the match at home to Real Betis.
06:14We were leading twice.
06:15We conceded two goals from set pieces and there was the red card.
06:20But now we can look ahead to the next game and take it match by match in the Champions League.
06:30And, of course, we still have a chance of getting through because there are still 18 points to play for.
06:37Of course, the next one at home to Galatasaray is very important.
06:44Good evening.
06:44Good evening.
06:46Good evening.
06:49Good evening.
