"We had to win to stay in the race''
"We were very disappointed after our elimination from the UEFA Europa League. We had to win to stay in the race for the European places. We did it, we scored a lot of goals and we enjoyed ourselves. That's a good thing. We have known for a long time that we have the ability. Now we have to do things. We did it against Bordeaux. But there are still six games to go. We mustn't get carried away, it's at the end of the dance that we pay the musicians. We are aware of things, we discuss them together. We approach the games differently and it showed," said the Cameroonian striker.
