Bruno Irles (Troyes) after the defeat against Toulouse: “It’s a difficult period”
Bruno Irles (Troyes coach, beaten (3-0) at home by Toulouse): “It’s a big defeat that has multiple explanations. We have approximations, we don’t have enough weight to weigh in and get back in the game. Our opponent was ready. We are in a preparation phase. Of course, there is the urgency of the championship, it’s our second defeat with three goals conceded, it hurts. It’s a difficult period, it’s my role to restore the confidence of the players. We are able to do it.
We cannot say that we do not know the level of Ligue 1, we are not promoted. We held on, within three players, these are the players who were there. They have the experience, we know what awaits us, we have to be at this level. Players must also quickly learn, quickly put themselves in this requirement. We were in a difficult situation in January, we got back into the game. We are off to a bad start, we are aware of the shortcomings, we still have a fortnight of work on recruitment, and I am aware of the work to be done. »
Philippe Montanier (Toulouse coach) : “I am satisfied with the result and the content of the second half. In the first half, on a lack of edge. There were no battle cries in the locker room either, no euphoria, just the satisfaction of a job well done, because we all know that the road will be long. We will stay calm, the rest will be difficult. For the moment, we are surfing on the dynamics. »
