The Nice coach returned to his team's heavy defeat against Glasgow on Thursday evening (1-4).
Franck Haise deplored Thursday evening the gifts offered by the Nice to Rangers during the defeat (4-1) at home in the Europa League, but the OGCN coach also highlighted the significant number of injuries in his squad and the certainty that his team would recover. “Twelve players less and a thirteenth (Ndayishimiye, Editor’s note) after a quarter of an hour, it was way too much for us, that’s it”he whispered, adding: “It's been too much since the start of the season to lead two competitions at the same time, we have to be quite clear-minded about the situation.”
“I hope that at one point we will find a little more strength to be able to play in the championship, the European Cup and the Coupe de France”he continued. “But we must recognize that the step was too high even if I think that we started the match rather well. But afterwards, when we offer goals to our opponents by making such significant individual errors, it’s very difficult.” Looking ahead to the trip to Lyon on Sunday in the championship, Haise continued: “We always got back up. Life, football, sport that's it, you have to get back up. Will we be able to do it on Sunday? Whether we will have the means to do it, I have no assurance. But I know we will get back up. I hope it will be Sunday because we have a big match awaiting us away and we are on eight matches without defeat in the league.
As for the Europa League, he assured that “as long as there is a possibility”you will have to play it “thoroughly”. For his part, Philippe Clement, the former coach of Monaco now at Glasgow Rangers, spoke about “an evening that could have been perfect with more goals scored. We saw a compact team on the field. We work well collectively. We are on the right track. That's what we want. Of course, Nice had a lot of injuries, but so did we.
