Claude Puel

It was open and we played against a great team.

We saw this.

Thanks, Claude.

Hard luck.

Thank you.

Yes, of course.

We can do the first 20 minutes very well.

Very interesting on the play with many chances, goals and opportunities and very good pressing.

After Tottenham came back with a good possession, it was difficult for us to recover with the ball in the first half.

At the end of the first half, we came back in the second half with a

good spirit to try to keep the ball and to play and it was difficult to accept first corner again this second goal and after the red card

I think finish the game after it was too difficult for us to... 10 against 11 against technically powerful players to recover with the ball and to try to have other chances.

But it's hard, it's hard because the scenario is bad for us and I don't know if the record is normal, but this changes all the philosophy of the game, of course.

I didn't see for the moment the action but on the bench I think the two players were fighting to recover with the ball and I think it's very hard to take a red card because this scenario changed all the game for me.

But I think it's difficult to stay with this level of pressing, high intensity, rhythm.

And the 21st minute was very well for us with a strong start.

And it's not possible to keep this rhythm every time.

And Tottenham take...

calm and quiet on the plane and a good position and we ran at the end of the first half after the goal.

It was important to come back in the second half
