“You must be satisfied, for once Nantes started their match well?
You have to believe that the work pays off in the end. In Nantes, against Nice, we had been in great difficulty at the start of the game. That’s great, the boys did the right thing. But strangely, then, we fell back too much, suffered too much, we even threw balls at the opponent and logically Lyon equalized.
We rectified well, and I liked it, we had a great second half. We often framed the carrier well, it allowed us to recover well, to use the ball well, we were able to play, to bring balls into the opposing area. In the locker room, there is a lot of frustration, because there was the possibility of doing something.
Is it a match that gives ideas for the semi-final of the Coupe de France on April 5?
During the match or before, we never thought about it, and we are happy from the point of view of the maintenance because we pass the bar of 30 points. But for the players, it’s a second one that feels good, that gives strength so that, in two and a half weeks, we can win a final at La Beaujoire.
Andy Delort was a substitute, Ludovic Blas also. For what ?
It was our 42nd game of the season, I’ve been feeling a lot of fatigue for a while, the idea was to bring freshness, to create different, new things, energy. I remembered that on the way there, with Simon, Mostafa (Mohamed) an Evann (Guessand), we had posed a lot of problems to this team. »
