“I might go against the grain, but I want to stay positive. This is why this match in Nantes is not one of fear for me, but one of hope. Today, the HAC will only get by with this coach, only with this group. There is no choice. Everyone is against us, no one will help us, and telling ourselves that we will get through this alone is perhaps the strongest thing in terms of solidarity. I like this challenge. Digard came into the thing to help, knowing he would have to make do with what he had, without a rookie. And today, he is whistled! But how can you whistle at a guy like that? He's from La Cavée, he's coming to get us out of trouble because Elsner left, leaving everyone in the lurch. He doesn't deserve this.” estimates this 47-year-old business leader.
“There’s no point in whining”
“Since we have no money, we have to tell ourselves that there is nothing more beautiful than fighting in the face of adversity. There's no point in whining, you'll have to go the extra mile with what you have and support them until the end. Maybe even until the last minute of the last day. Shooting them in the paws today, I really don't see the point. There are eight matches to win! So OK, offensively, that's not it. Now, that didn't stop us from beating Saint-Étienne, Auxerre and Montpellier. And frankly, we can't have all the misfortunes in the world without it starting to go our way at some point. »
