fans ‘don’t interfere with my work’, claims Irles after hostile banner

Bruno Irles (Troyes coach after the 1-1 draw against Marseille): “I saw them (the hostile banners) but it doesn’t affect me. I am 300% concentrated during the match. Do these streamers help players be better? I let you be the judge… But they don’t interfere with my work. I have the support of my group, my staff, my management. Internally, this unity is really present. My first observation today, my first satisfaction, is that I have a group that has not let go mentally. I told the players this week that it should be the basis of our sprint, our work base, so it’s a big satisfaction. But we are not going to ignite, we are tied last, we are not going to hide it. I had asked my players to have this state of mind. It was not easy against the second in the championship, but my players did not let go from the 1st to the 96th minute. This is a point that is not at all undeserved. This content is the path that we must follow on the last 12 fights that await us. We will have to be able to reproduce it.”
