“Tonight we are very disappointed, because there was a window to win this match, we were unable to take advantage of it. Nice played a very solid match, for me the turning point was in the first half where even apart from the penalty, we had to score. It was tough tonight, there was a difference in technical and athletic level, but we gave what we had to give in any case. The disappointment is there, all the same. This goal (from Cho), we must not take it. But the regrets are really about our first half. We must quickly get rid of the disappointment because the Amiens match comes very quickly. We still have 3 games in January, we have 25 points today and we have to finish the month with more than 30. We have to move forward quickly in our championship, take the points we need and progress. »
SC Bastia was almost equal to the event
“I'm disappointed for the crowd, because they were fantastic once again. I hope that many supporters will come against Pau, against Metz to celebrate the total reopening of the stadium. But I'm disappointed, (laughs), I'm not well there […]. The group is serious and gives. There is never a “non-match”, in Grenoble it was more a lack of determination that we saw. It’s a squad that gives, it’s players who give. If they did everything well, they wouldn't be at Sporting in Ligue 2. It's up to us to help them advance even further to help the club progress. I am very happy to work with them. Tonight is one of the times I'm frustrated, but it's not because of them. Nice played the right match, we must pay tribute to them too […]. I hate defeat. It was a great derby against Nice, it hurts your head even more. I hope that we will have the opportunity to play them again soon, and why not a little higher (in L1, editor's note) in the years to come. »
