Pierre Aristouy (Nantes coach, after the 1-1 draw against Olympique de Marseille): “It’s a point of courage, but I don’t want to talk about that either. Certainly it was necessary, the players have shown it. But there was not only courage, we also had a certain quality. It’s an important match, an important point given the way it went. These are essentially technical approximations that cost us the loss of the ball on the first goal, the expulsion of Bastien (Meupiyou).
It felt like a nightmare party after ten minutes. This point is fundamental in what will follow, namely a mental anchoring which will allow to continue to progress on the tactical level. Players arrived very late. Like all coaches, I was waiting for reinforcements, now we will be able to work with even more projection.
