Now eliminated from the Coupe de France, the Nantais only have the championship and the objective of winning continuation at the end of the season, like AS Saint-Étienne, where the Canaries will travel this Sunday.
After the elimination of his team during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France on the pitch of Stade Brestois 29 (2-1), Antoine Kombouare very quickly planned on the trip to Geoffroy-Guichard, where he wants to take the three points. The Nantes coach is not counting on reinforcements before this meeting and should therefore make do with the group that is currently at his disposal: “I work with the players I have at hand, I'm not complaining. We have the place with this team to beat Brest and we have, with this team, the means to go snatching victory from Saint-Étienne, that's what I expect from my group. Recruitments, I spend my time waiting, I'm always waiting. The most important thing is the squad I have there. , to work with this effective and then, if there are reinforcements I'm super happy, if there aren't any, we'll make do and I'm super happy too.
I'm not worried, I'm in the present and the present, it's the matches coming up, the training sessions during which we have to take care of the boys' heads, put them in the right place and above all, go play. I don't think any reinforcements will arrive for Saint-Étienne. Everyone has their own job. My job is to win matches so that we move up in the rankings. And then, the job of the managers is to bring the players. If they do it, I'm super happy. If they don't, it doesn't matter. We mainly have to concentrate on work.”
