At a press conference, particularly with the Free Midday, Jean-Louis Gasset reacted after the weekend's disillusionment against Angers:
“Yes, we took a big hit to the head. I had hope, even though I knew it was difficult. The Lyon match was still good, even if we didn't bring home any points in content. Today, there was a first half where we were afraid. And that's serious.
In an important match like this, it is very serious to refuse the game, to not be confident instead of giving everything. There was a bit of a start to the second half where we felt a little rebellion. And then, as all the teams ranked poorly, the red card, the other red card, the last-minute gag goal, it's the chalice down to the dregs.
-(In the locker room, we told them) To assume. To assume like a man. We have to talk, we have to say that we are disappointed, we have to face reality. The mission was very difficult, today it is mission impossible. There is half a championship left. There are a lot of points at stake, but we lost at Le Havre, we lost at Saint-Étienne and we lost at home against Angers. So it's going to take a little miracle. »
