This Saturday, FC Nantes created a surprise by securing a valuable draw (1-1) against PSG, the undisputed leader in Ligue 1, on the lawn of the Parc des Princes. A performance which gives hope to the Canaries after four consecutive defeats but which leaves them on their terrible series of 10 matches in a row without the slightest victory and an Antoine Kombouaré increasingly worried and who could soon be fired.
A nightmarish start to the match, but a salutary reaction
Questioned after the match, the Nantes coach did not hide his fear after PSG's rapid opening of the score: “It's not just frustration, I was very scared. Against Le Havre, we conceded after 2 minutes 30, now it's 1 minute 50. It's not the best scenario. » However, unlike their collapse against Le Havre, the people of Nantes were able to react and show themselves resilient: “There, we were able to hold on, to resist. This equalizing goal gives us hope. »
A point that counts in the fight to maintain
“It’s a point of revolt and hope. A point that counts because it is against PSG who are crushing Ligue 1.” Now, Kombouaré hopes to capitalize on this result to prepare for the crucial derby against Rennes: “This point will give confidence before the derby against Rennes. We must win against Rennes at all costs. » A major challenge against a neighbor who remains on a large 5-0 victory against Saint-Étienne.
