“They wore us down” regrets Nanterre coach Philippe Da Silva after the defeat against Monaco
Philippe Da Silva, Nanterre coach: “We lacked control. You are at +6 at the 35th. and you take an 18-4, it’s huge. For what ? Because we start to suffer from their defensive pressure, we pass the ball around less and in defense, we are more permissive, even though we have no foul problem at that moment. They wore us out. There is a lot of disappointment, because with tonight’s results, by winning, we qualified for the Leaders Cup. So there is a lot of disappointment. We had a great match. Monaco lost 19 balls and we dominated the offensive rebound. But for every mistake you make, you pay in cash. This evening (SATURDAY)we saw it in the last five minutes. »
