“How are you taking this new bad evening?
I’m disappointed for the players, it’s not the expected result. I have the feeling that we are having a good start but afterwards there is this huge blunder. We’re all sad for Alban, it’s a blunder that hurts us, that causes us harm, and then there’s this second goal that drives the point home. In the second, we played with more panache, we were much better, but we lacked efficiency up front, we couldn’t score.
“The Cup final took us over, I was even going to say ate our minds
How did you feel Lafont after this game?
He is of course very disappointed, he apologized several times, at half-time and at the end to the group, to say that it was his fault, but no, we all lose together, it happens. The problem is that every weekend, it always falls on a different player, but he will be excellent in the next matches. There is this excitement that wins us over. We manage to play more liberated, like in the second, but to come back from 0-2, it’s complicated.
Nantes finds itself relegated, after ten unsuccessful Championship matches…
We had several situations where we could win, make the break. The Cup final captured us, I was even going to say puffed our minds, and I had warned that at this rate, we would find ourselves relegated, we are there but we have to keep faith.

Do you feel capable of remedying the situation?
I have the desire, the strength, it will be interesting to see if we are strong in the difficulty. I have faith, I have confidence, on Sunday we will be there to put on a great match and get the machine going again. I know that on June 4, we will be in L1. Sunday, we will have to be ready and united. We have faith and we are going to work, the solutions, we find them in the work and tomorrow (today) with the players, we are going to remobilise, make corrections. We are lacking in confidence but ready to take up the challenge. »
