Sabri Lamouchi wants to believe in a Rennes win at Jablonec. (S. Thomas / The Team)

"You still have a chance to qualify and it must pbad by a success in Jablonec. How do you approach this appointment?
We know that it only goes through a victory, and that even with a victory, the hope is minimal. But we focus on our performance to achieve the best performance possible, knowing that it will be difficult, it was in the first leg (2-1), it will necessarily be tomorrow (Thursday).

Do you feel that your team wants to believe it?
We must believe it, we all believe it, now there is a match to play, a big performance to achieve, Jablonec did not lose at home in the Europa League and I believe they have only one only home defeat in the Championship. But we believe and we will put the best team tomorrow (Thursday) to give us this chance to play a final, but before, we must focus on this game against Jablonec.

"It is quite possible that we will reuse the system (with three supporters) because there have been interesting, positive and promising things"

A failure in this group would it be difficult to live?
We will take stock after the match against Astana. We focus on tomorrow (Thursday) knowing that it will be complicated and we will have time to make a balance at that time. It is especially important to remain mobilized, to play our luck thoroughly, to try to win here in Jablonec. We saw the difficulty we had Kiev (1-1) and Astana (2-2) here against this team. We were told it was the simplest team to play, we realized on the go that this was not the case, we realized that our other opponents had so much trouble against this team, therefore, it has certain qualities, experience, it is well organized and relatively athletic, we must be vigilant and do what we must do to leave victorious.

You played three behind Montpellier, Sunday (2-2). Was it a one-day experience where you enjoyed the balance in this new scheme?
The applied system was the right system to use at that time, it is quite possible that we reuse it because there were in my opinion some interesting, positive and promising things, so to review.

How to remedy the difficulties of Tomas Koubek, who have been prolonged in Montpellier?
When it's a goalkeeper, a small mistake, we see it right away, but he has all the confidence of his partners, the coach, the staff and the club, like any other player. He knows exactly what he has to do, he works, he is in good hands with Olivier Sorin, the guardian coach. We must succeed in giving him a little more confidence, but unfortunately this is the lot of everyone right now at home, we see that we lack a little more confidence, including Tomas. The difference is that for a guard, it's probably more visible. "
