Laurent Blanc, coach of Lyon, winner 2-1 in Toulouse on Friday at the start of the 31st day of Ligue 1:
“There are things I liked, others I hated. That I liked less, at least. We were too generous, not killer enough, in the first half. This is the speech I made at half-time, that at some point you have to know why you play football: to win. We had the opportunity to take the lead and we didn’t. The second half was better at the attacking level, we created chances, but so did they. The victory is still not undeserved, because we held the ball. But we would have made the match much more peaceful by leading 2-0 (…) We have been through a lot of disappointments since the start of the season. Things were done well, but we were in such a negative slump that we don’t recognize certain things. The Cup match (lost against Nantes) proved those who are pessimistic about Lyon’s game right. But we realize that we are a little better in the league. We do results, we do series. We are not dominating, but I think we are on the right path.
