Manager Jean Fernandez has dismissed Auxerre's chances of landing
the Ligue 1 title despite his side sitting in a tie at the top of
the table.
Although they are flying high alongside Lyon and Montpellier,
AJA could be clear at the summit having wasted two chances over the
past week to establish a two-point advantage over the rest
following draws with Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain.
Manager Fernandez is adamant, though, that one of the
pre-season title favourites will come through.
He said: "I do not live in a dream world but in everyday
reality.
"The title will go to one of the big three - Bordeaux,
Marseille or Lyon.
"Journalists tell the fans to dream but we have never
mentioned it.
"To win the title, we need quality players. And we have fewer
than Bordeaux, Marseille and Lyon.
"We will I think have to fight with Montpellier and Lille for
fourth or fifth place.
"This would be a fitting reward for a season which has
already been successful."
