Pierre Aristouy (FC Nantes coach, beaten 2-1 by Toulouse): “It’s a huge disappointment for the players who didn’t cheat, with the burst of energy and courage they showed, and the some interesting sequences that we were able to develop. The absence of major players like Castelletto, Centonze or Ganago led us to do things differently, it got complicated with the evolution of the match and the changes. The block, the organization, the recovery were pretty good in the first period.
On the other hand, as against Cologne (in a friendly, editor’s note), we give too much the feeling of inconstancy in terms of intensity and concentration between the 46th and 70th. We concede our two goals on errors in the same zone. On the first, it is a serious error of placement and intervention, on an error of landmarks in space. We deserved the draw.”
