Will Still (coach of Reims, 1-0 winner over Lorient on Saturday): “These are three super important points against a team that is very difficult to play against. I am very satisfied with the content, even if we need to improve on the last pass. It’s part of a team that is moving forward and making progress. I said, during the talk, that the players who were going to come in would be important. Teddy (Teuma) was returning from injury, Joseph Okumu was ill before the match and Marshall (Munetsi) had a broken nose at the end of the first period.

(Regarding his exclusion) I felt a bit stupid, but I can’t take the emotion out of what I do. When a goalkeeper takes that long to clear or a player stays on the ground, it drives me crazy. A lot of factors made me angry, but I don’t have to act stupid like that. I would like to apologize to the referee.”
