“When you play these types of game against top opposition, who know how to keep hold of the ball, it's tough to get it off them. We had some trouble early on in the game, but we then reorganised and did well, which is important because it means that we communicated and help each other. In the second half, we started well, but against the run of play they scored from distance. I must congratulate my teammate, and also to those who came off the bench, because everyone really put a shift in and that's really important for us. How am I finding it with Thuram? We've just met but we're working hard and getting to know each other. We're together all day, every day, with double training sessions and this will help us a lot. The youngsters? There are many; I spoke with all of them, but others have as well: we have experienced players and some intelligent youngsters. We're working hard and preparing well because people expect a lot from us and we must be ready for the start of the league campaign. ”
