Christophe Pélissier (Auxerre coach, who drew 1-1 with Lille): “It’s a good point because the first half was difficult for us. I congratulated the boys. We must attack the remaining six matches with the same determination and the same desire. Lille didn’t kill us and as long as it was only 1-0 there was hope. We repositioned our midfielder at half-time. We had to raise the tone in terms of intensity. Scoring early in the second half gave us strength. We could have made a heist at the end with the chance of Isaak Touré.
This is a good point both in accounting and in terms of the spirit with all the glitches we have at the moment. Given the quality of Lille, many teams could have let go. Success smiles on the daring. It’s been a while since she came back. The self-sacrifice we showed in the second half was very important. We play with our many qualities. Players weren’t playing a while ago and they are rewarded with their performance when they come in.”
