“Nantes is a big Ligue 1 team”

During the pre-match press conference, Eirik Horneland spoke about his opponent of the day in Ligue 1, the Football Club de Nantes. He considers it a big team in the championship.

Woe to the vanquished. This is certainly what the players in this poster for the 18th day of the French Ligue 1 championship between AS Saint-Étienne and Nantes must be saying. Indeed, in the standings, only goal difference separates the two clubs fighting to stay in the elite. This is favorable to the people of Nantes who are therefore just ahead of the Greens. However, the team that wins this afternoon will put its opponent of the day at three points.

A fact that the AS Saint-Étienne coach is well aware of Eirik Horneland. He spoke about his opponent of the day, whom he places among the big teams in the French Ligue 1 championship: “Yes, I watched Nantes play. Nantes is a big Ligue 1 team. I think it’s going to be an interesting match. Nantes is a team that works a lot, which has very clear ideas on how to play. We will have to put on as much intensity as possible on Sunday. Nantes is a team that will play an important match against us. This match will be interesting with two teams who will want to take points, we will have to do our best so that it is us who take the three points.”
