Paulo Fonseca (Lille coach, held to a 1-1 draw at Auxerre): “It is not comparable to Angers. We played very well today (SATURDAY). We had real chances. We should have won 4-0 or 5-0. It’s not easy to play against a team with a low block. Auxerre defends very well. We had good things. There were clear chances, seven or eight that should have allowed us to win. It’s not a question of character. That’s the story of our championship, having a lot of chances and at the end… That’s how it is. There was disappointment in the locker room. We have to think about the next game. I keep faith. The attitude of the players was very good. Our game is a risky game. I don’t know many teams that create like ours. Auxerre did not have very good chances.
Remy Cabella (Lille midfielder): “It’s two points lost. We are frustrated because we have the game in hand and in the end it is 1-1. We were once again missing the finish. We are not going to shoot the players. I trust my team. It happens. There are matches in which it does not fit. We must focus on the next one which will be even more important. On the penalty, I did not throw myself. I went there to defend. I touch it. Maybe at real speed, you think there is a penalty but I don’t think it deserved the penalty. He plays well. I don’t understand why the referee won’t see the video. It’s a shame not to be able to discuss with the referee, that there is an exchange. However, there are no excuses. It’s up to us to improve our finish.”
