After the match, Enrique spoke with the media at his press conference and noted that the team generated its scoring chances, which is why he doesn’t see this result as a bad one despite the squad’s current three-match winless streak across all competitions.
“It is clear that the result does not reflect the performance,” Enrique said (h/t RMC Sport). “In the second half, Auxerre was dangerous in transitions. We pushed, [and] we had more chances. I have nothing to reproach my players for. We have exceptional statistics.
“I don’t see this sense of negativity around the club. I don’t have a magic formula. We need to convert our chances; our rival did not have many opportunities. We need to gain confidence.”
