What They're Saying
Toulouse manager Alain Casanova (via Ligue 1's official website): "We were surprised by the pace set by Marseille. We were also lacking technically expertise, and it became complicated for us very quickly. It would have been a completely different game if we'd managed to score. But after we conceded, our heads went down. We were unable to impose our game. We lacked confidence."
RC Lens manager Antoine Kombouare: "I want to congratulate my players, because I liked what I saw from them [against Paris Saint-Germain]. I was worried. I didn't know how we would handle this game emotionally. They stood up in the face of difficulty. The equalizer came too quickly, and once PSG leveled, they gained confidence. I need to rebuild my team's morale, and our target is next week and the game against Toulouse."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Toulouse's Wissam Ben Yedder has been instrumental in the club's early season success. The 24-year-old has six goals in 10 league appearances and is averaging 1.4 key passes.
