RLB POST MCFC

Regis Le Bris was happy that his side put in another impressive performance against one of the best sides in Europe, although he did admit that at the highest level even the smallest of errors will be exploited.

ANOTHER GOOD PERFORMANCE

“We played with our style of play and with our belief it was possible to win. We show up to win, even against Arsenal, Alkmaar and then Man City in the same week, and created many chances. We played good football and had the opportunity to score two or three more goals. Obviously at that level against those players, every half-chance gets punished. That is probably the main lesson of today.”

INTENSITY LEVELS

“We are showing game after game that we are getting better and the belief we have in our squad, our style and our identity is getting stronger. After that you have to go through difficult experiences against the top teams in Europe to get better. The challenge was high but we embraced it.”

BIG BAD BRI

“It is about his physical performance but he’s technical as well. He was really good today, showed how good he can be, to link the play and in the box he’s a good striker so it was just a question of time.”

CHANCE CREATION

“We are getting better. I repeat, it is hard against one of the best teams in Europe and when you make just a small mistake, they can exploit a 5cm space to score. It’s a good lesson, we want to take the most out of it to get better.”

ONTO BRIGHTON

“We want to get better, I think it’s important to show that the trajectory of the squad is positive. You can lose, you can win, but the identity stays the same.”
