Paulo Fonseca (Lille coach, held 1-1 at Auxerre): “It’s not comparable to Angers. We played very well today (Saturday). We had real chances. We should have won 4-0 or 5-0. It’s not easy to play against a team with a low block. Auxerre defends very well. We had good things. There were clear chances, seven or eight that should have allowed us to win.

It’s not a question of character. That’s the story of our championship, having a lot of chances and in the end… that’s how it is. There was disappointment in the locker room. We have to think about the next game. I keep faith. The attitude of the players was very good. Our game is a risky game. I don’t know many teams that create like ours. Auxerre did not have very good chances.
