Bordeaux manager Willy Sagnol had this to offer head of today's league encounter (via Ligue 1's official website): "In terms of technical performance, there wasn't much to crow about today [after defeating Stade Rennes 2-1], but I'm focusing on the frame of mind we showed. The lads never gave up; they ended the game absolutely exhausted after going all-out to get the win in the dying minutes. The players deserve their success."
"We have 17 points, and every single one of those points has been well deserved because we have a strong mental approach and none of my lads [are] a cheat," he added. "All my players look to outdo themselves every time. It's not all roses, mind you, far from it. But overall, it's your frame of mind that gets you something at the end of the season."
