Hugo Lloris:

“The captain’s here, Hugo the look on your face says it all.”

“Yeah, we’re more disappointed than upset. It happens again today after 1-0 up, we conceded a goal straight away on the kickoff. We need to really improve because it becomes the basics of football, we know that after —  when we score a goal, straight after, we need to be focused and strong the next five minutes. So okay it happens today, maybe it’s better to happen now than later in the season. We need to learn about that.”

“We had better stats (possession and shots) over Leicester”

“Yeah but in football it means nothing. You can have the possession, you can have more shots on target, more shots off target. We are playing football just to win and at the end of the game, we have to get the three points. It’s the only way to get pleasure altogether and the rest means nothing to me. As I said we need to learn about this game but we need to avoid that kind of scenario. But it happens once, okay, twice okay, but third is too much. I hope that we learn quickly after this game and we will be ready for the next game. We will be very tough.”

“The frustrating thing is that we should have had six or seven points by now.”

“Yeah, it’s still too early in the season. I think we do a lot of positive things and we need to keep that and correct all of the negative things to improve as a team and to be stronger altogether to win all of these games.”
