Favre: "Their change of system played a big role"

Coach, we imagine you are disappointed and frustrated after this match…
That’s the way it is… We are disappointed because we were leading at the break. We managed the game well, we found space. In the second half, Lorient changed their system, they came back to a 4-3-3 because they felt that they had made it too easy for us until then. We needed to get to 2-0 to be safe and take the victory. We conceded an avoidable goal which gave them a boost.

How do you see the difference between the two halves?
As I said, their change of system played a big role. In the 4-3-3, it’s a good side, we saw that in the league at home. We won that 2-1 and that shows a lot. I am not surprised by the difficulties we faced. In this match, we lost the ball too much, which gave them the chance to counter.

Does this add pressure to the league?
Pressure? No. Our objective is to take each match as it comes and to make some progress.
