Lille coach Paulo Fonseca says he is “happy” and considers a “logical victory”.
Paulo Fonseca (Lille coach won Lens 1-0):
«I’m very happy, of course. We had a good match, we deserved to win. It was a tough match. The first period was balanced with few chances. The second was much better, we created chances and we defended well, we didn’t concede a goal. All the players were heroic. Obviously, Lucas (Chevalier) made a fantastic match by pushing back this penalty, he knew how to be decisive in the important moments. But I’m happy with all the players, including the entrants. The players did what we had prepared. We defended better than against Lorient (2-1 defeat last weekend, editor’s note), Lens hardly had any chances. The players understood that they had to be aggressive to defend well. I think we deserve the three points. We were very concentrated for this match, we won, but the most important thing now is to think about the Strasbourg match. It will also be difficult but it is important to chain victories to earn points.»
