Gérald Baticle (Angers coach, beaten 4-1 by Nantes):
“It's a derby, and a heavy defeat, it's hard to take. It is obviously the start that weighs down the match. The idea was to be good at the game, to give them problems and if possible to bring them into doubt. We brought them to confidence by taking these two goals. We did not lose the thread, we came back to 2-1, and the turning point of the match is in this period (where ...) we cannot equalize (...). We had well analyzed the game of Nantes, they had quick attacks, play, from the bottom. It failed in efficiency, which they unfortunately found against us. We were not surprised by what they offered us, but we did not know how to answer (...). We lacked aggressiveness (...), we were too tender. It will be rich in lessons,especially for our young players, in the mental and athletic approach of a derby. We did not lose everything in this match, I saw my players always playing interesting football, with well-constructed phases of play ”.
