Franck Haise (Lens coach): “There is a lot of frustration compared to the two so different halves that we produced. In the first, we didn’t create a lot of chances but we controlled. In the second half, we did not know how to respond in our outings, we defended much more by moving back, like this third goal where the block opened up. […] You had to hang on to at least get a point, even if that was not the goal at the start. We didn’t make the right choices, we didn’t have the right attitudes. We have to be able to face eleven, to stay balanced, especially when we feel that we no longer control the game. We have to be strong, together … Now with 3 points out of 15 possible, obviously we fall in line. But my concern is that we find in each match an acting team for 90 or 95 minutes, and today that was not the case. “
Yannick Cahuzac (captain of Lens): “We passed by, it’s unfortunate […]. We put in all the ingredients to be joined. We lacked experience, maturity […]. We did not know how to adapt. Congratulations to Nantes, but we also helped them a lot. We make too many mistakes, we pay cash. We cannot alternate the very good and the very bad as we did this evening. We really need to rediscover our values of fighting spirit and solidarity. “
