Adi Hütter: “I’m really happy that we managed to win this match in Saint-Etienne. Looking at the 90 minutes, I would say that it is a deserved victory but I also want to congratulate the Stéphanoise training. It is never easy to come and play here when we see the atmosphere put by the public and the style of play offered by this team which does not deserve, in my opinion, not the place it occupies in the classification.
We opened the scoring very early with one of the most beautiful counterattacks that I could see and quickly reacted after the equalization thanks to the first goal of Moatasem al-Musrati with AS Monaco. I am also very happy for Folarin Balogun who managed to score after his long injury. The pair Mika Biereth – Breel Embolo works very well, it is the source of many goals. Balo ‘is an attacker with a different profile, and I think today’s match was the right time to start it. I want to congratulate him on his goal but also for his work for the team during the entire meeting.
Since the start of the season, one of our main objectives has been to qualify again for the Champions League. All the teams that are Marseille, Lille, Nice, Strasbourg and Lyon fight to win their ticket.
We must be focused on each match and the reception of Lyon next Saturday will be a beautiful confrontation. We want to win this match with a complicated trip to Lens to finish the championship. But this victory outside in Saint-Etienne does us a lot of good. “
