Angry but still there.
Nantes caught Lille this Saturday evening, but its coach has not publicly analyzed the performance of his players. Still angry with the journalists, Antoine Kombouaré did not comment on the meeting and left the press room after less than a minute. He still believes that they told lies when his presidency wanted to replace him.
“Gentlemen and Ladies, I won’t be long. I sent a message on Thursday, he said at the end of the match in a press conference. I have the feeling that we don't understand. I saw, some people called me a demagogue, so I didn't like it. So. I say that the message I wanted to convey is that when we are wrong, we say so. We make a mea culpa. This was not the case, so I am going through with my approach. Today, I'm not talking, however, next week, if I'm still the coach of FC Nantes against Monaco, it's over, we'll move on. Thank you gentlemen. Bye. »
At the microphone of DAZN, he outbid: “I’m armored, I’m ready for that […]. I just have to train, they don't tell me anything so I continue. I know that they [Waldemar et Franck Kita] are negotiating to find coaches, but the problem with the press, this written press, is that they spent their time saying that Antoine Kombouaré is no more. They never spoke in the conditional. So when you say that and you're wrong, well you say it. They don't want to do it. […] There is no anger. »
The merit of clarity is perhaps everything.
Caught by Nantes, Lille misses the podium
