Q: Do you worry about your own future at this point in time after six defeats in eight?
Wilfried Nancy: “I don’t think about it. I think about finding ways to help my team to be good on defence.”

Q: Do you see enough from the team to put faith in yourself that you can turn this around?
Wilfried Nancy: “Yes, I see enough, except for the fact that we didn’t score more goals. And again, the level up. I know that we lost, but I have also to be objective. And the level up that we had at a certain moment was really, really, really high. This is a reality. And I would not talk like that if it weren’t the case. But that’s why this is, in terms of results, again, that’s why I said that this is the same story. And we all know that. And that’s why I said that we are really close to things turning around. But for the moment, details, details, details.”
Q: You say you’re not a defeated guy. Do you still feel that you can succeed in this job this season? The league title is still there for you to play for. Is that how you feel?
Wilfried Nancy: “Yes.”

Q: What gives you confidence that you will turn it around?
Wilfried Nancy: “Because I watched every game and I saw many, many good things that we did, like today again. But now it’s about consistency. So my narrative would not be the same if it was not the case. But this is the case for the moment. So that’s why I am a big believer that we’re going to be able to turn things around.”
No more needs said.
