What’s been said
Via the Mirror, he said: “There was a rumour that came out the afternoon of a game. Kylian has an answer, the most beautiful answer. In a match that was not of a very high level, I think he was elected man of the match, he was performing well, generous for the team and very supportive.

That’s all there is to it. I repeat again, I am very happy to be the coach of these players, of this team, but still: write it down and let’s talk soccer.
“I have players who since the Champions League match have immersed themselves very quickly in the preparation of the match against OM [Marseille], which is a f****** high point! It’s the match that everyone is waiting for in the French championship.”
