Able to lead the way at the end of the first act, OGC Nice then collapsed, conceding a bitter defeat (2-1). Franck Haise could not hide his disappointment at the final whistle.
Despite a small advantage at the break, small on the scoreboard but the gap was yawning in view of the copies given, Nice lost on the Lille lawn (2-1) this Friday as part of the 18th day of League 1 McDonald's. This result fueled the rage of Franck Haise, who did not hesitate to use strong words at a press conference: “This lack of regularity is not entirely new, regretted the coach. To be at the top of the rankings, if you want to be at the top – we all have this ambition, at least it's mine – you have to be regular, of course during the season, but also extremely regular in a match. And you cannot have a first period where you are in control, where you have four, five, six clear chances and then a second which is no longer much.”he blurted out to the media.
His reflection then continues on DAZN :
“They ultimately didn't create that many chances, but this defeat is ourshe judged. It’s clearly ours. We did a lot of good things in the first half, especially from the start. We has opportunities, until the 45th, to score the second goal. But afterwards, it lacks intensity. To beat Lille, you have to play two halves, not just one. This defeat is our fault. We lack enough to be ambitious. There is still the last action, which should make us win, but it is not on target. It just reminds us that when we don't all do it in the long term, facing very strong adversaries, we have to know how to do it.”concluded Franck Haise, tense following the defeat of his men.
