After the defeat at Lille (2-1) on Friday in Ligue 1, Franck Haise did not spare his players. The OGC Nice coach questions the ambitions and determination of his team, which is far too irregular to stay at the top of the table.
At half-time, it was difficult to imagine Lille overthrowing OGC Nice so easily. Le Gym had confirmed its clear domination and could even regret not having opened up a more significant gap. Except that the Aiglons completely missed out on their second period against the much sharper Mastiffs. From his bench, Franck Haise has already witnessed this type of scenario. This is why the Riviera coach is wondering about his men.
« The defeat is initially frustrating and disappointingconfided the former Lens coach. I think that in the first half, in our strong moment which still lasted, where we created a lot of chances, I think we could have scored a second goal. But that should not prevent us from having a second half worthy of a team that wants to be ambitious. It's a bit like a lot of matches during our season. For me, this lack of regularity is not completely new. »
-“If we all have this ambition…”
« If we want to be at the top, if we all have this ambition, at least it's mine, we have to be extremely regular during the season of course, but also in a match. You cannot have a first period where you are in control, where you have four or five clear chances, and have a second period where there is not much left. We knew that Lille was going to raise the level, they were not going to stay in their first period. We knew that Lille was going to raise the slider, but we must not lower it so much », was surprised Franck Haise after this missed opportunity to climb on the podium.
