OGC Nice : Rothen attacks Haise
On RMC, Jérôme Rothen charged Franck Haise after Nice's heavy defeat against Glasgow Rangers (1-4) in the Europa League. “He doesn’t put his best team together. He says he has players who have problems but you bring them in for half-time or half-hour. If they are able to play half an hour, they are able to play 60, 70 or 80 minutes,” Rothen said. Before adding: “We highlighted his work in Lens because it was working well, his team was drawn towards the offensive. But against Rangers, don't run away from your responsibilities. You made a mistake in your team composition, in your approach to the match, maybe you thought it would be easier than expected and in the end you took it in the face. If there are so many injured, it's the fault of bad luck or poor preparation, he wonders before putting a final layer on the Gym coach: Maybe -maybe you didn’t prepare them well at the start of the season…”
Stade de Reims: Elsner is furious after Lens!
Beaten by a clinical RC Lens yesterday at the opening of this 13e day of Ligue 1 at the Auguste-Delaune stadium (0-2), Stade de Reims is slowly falling into line. Luka Elsner was furious after the match: “It’s the worst match of our season, by far,” blasted the Reims coach at a press conference. This is one of the most difficult analyzes of my career. My team was devoid of any substance, both physically, technically and tactically. I include myself in the observation, because I failed to motivate my troops. I have the impression that we were waiting for something to revive us. But this does not exist in football. We must create the conditions to revolt. Even the entrants got into the negative mood of the evening. It is unacceptable to miss this point. I am extremely sorry for our supporters, who made the effort to come in the cold. »
