ASNL will not receive Bastia for the 8th round of the Coupe de France on November 29, despite a meeting initially scheduled at the Marcel Picot stadium. The state of the pitch at the Tomblaine stadium does not allow this. His maintenance paid the price for the cost-saving measures imposed by the club's management. The Nancéiens will therefore travel to Corsica, to the great dismay of their supporters who have strongly expressed their dissatisfaction on social networks.
“There’s no point in going back, it’s above all looking ahead” temperate Pablo Correa which dismisses the controversy and prefers to insist on a choice which was necessary to allow the gardeners to restore its luster to the green patch and not compromise the work undertaken over the last fortnight. “It is the choice of reason” explains the ASNL coach. “Of course, we would have liked to play at Picot, with our supporters. But on a good pitch. And we are still very far from the final of the Coupe de France.” Understandably: the stakes of the match and the priorities of the season for the ASNL are not worth lasting damage to the pitch. Nancy will therefore play her qualification at Furiani, with her chances intact, says the coach. “It was 50/50 at Picot, I think it will be 50/50 there.”
