“The goal conceded at the start of the second half hurt us a lot”

Daniel Stendel : “In the first half, we started again where we left off in Bastia. We put the opponent under pressure. It’s essential to open the scoring, whatever the style of play, but we just can’t do it right now. The goal conceded at the start of the second half hurt us a lot. Especially on the mental level. We did not have the alternatives on the bench to do something in the offensive sector, Jung was injured and Simoes not yet in the group. And then there was this unfortunate expulsion, after seeing the images again. At ten against eleven, it became physically difficult because we had played Wednesday in Bastia. We are not going to give up, we have a young team that needs support ”.

Olivier Guégan: “Happy and proud of my players. We fought a great battle. We should have killed the game much earlier. The score could have been wider in our favor. Nancy still gave us a hard time. We haven’t conceded much. We are in the right state of mind. The team is getting thicker. I put a little pressure on my attackers at the break by telling them that they had ten minutes to show me something else. They responded well to my request … Regarding Joffrey Cuffaut , it is true that he received a nice ovation from his former supporters. Joffrey is a team player, a real relay for me. Everywhere it goes, it leaves a great image. The image of a straight boy, a real leader. The post of central defender in which he has been playing for a while even opens up new perspectives for him ”.
