Decidedly, the defeat does not pass for Christophe Galtier.
Nice lost heavily against Lens (3-0) this Sunday during the 31st day of Ligue 1 and made a bad operation in the race for the podium.
However, with a numerical superiority for a good part of the match, the Aiglons completely thwarted it by conceding three goals and finishing the match with nine, after the red cards of Lemina and Dante.
"It's unacceptable," first railed the Aiglons coach at a press conference.
“We conceded one goal, two goals, eleven against ten, because we thought we shouldn't defend anymore.
We did not respect the game. We played a Lens team made up of competitors.
Lens played a Nice team made up of tourists, continued the French technician, before supporting his remarks even more.
This must lead to much more humility.
When you do not respect the game, the balance, you are sanctioned.
The victory of Lens is logical ”.
“To tell you that I am ashamed, I am not far from it”
But for Christophe Galtier, we will have to remobilize quickly so as not to explode in this final sprint.
“Too many players have failed.
We'll see what happens next… We have a headache.
To tell you that I'm ashamed, I'm not far from it.
I dare to hope that we are not throwing away the eight months that we have done.
It would be a shame and disrespectful to let yourself go in this way, ”concluded the tactician.
The message has certainly passed in the locker room.
With this big defeat to Bollaert, Nice stagnates in fifth place in the standings and sees its Champions League dream darken.
Here is OGC Nice five points from the podium.
