As quoted by Daily Football Weekly, he said, "If Dembele and Mbappé brought an imbalance when returning? I often say that these hot analyzes are not correct."

"My analysis was incorrect after Toulouse. The whole match was controlled. I was wrong. We have to work on this adaptation of the players. Finding a balance based on new entrants is the most exciting thing to come for me."
