Antoine Kombouaré after Nantes’ draw at Clermont: “Two teams who feared each other”
Pascal Gastien (Clermont coach, hooked by Nantes 0-0): “We are missing a small goal, and we deserved to win. But it’s a point, we’re making progress and that’s a good thing. We remain undefeated in 2023 and we played a rather interesting match, even alive. We created a lot of situations, but we lack the finish. We were quite clumsy, but we were close to breaking them in the second half. We gave ourselves the means to win. For us, a point is a point, especially when playing a European team. »
Antoine Kombouaré (Nantes coach): “It’s a very good point for us, especially given the second half where we didn’t offer much offensively. We are satisfied with this draw, we were able to defend well. Everyone worked to bring this point back, but we have to show something else, we have to have the ability to keep the ball, especially in the second half. Today, we saw two teams who feared each other. There was choppy play, a lot of fouls and commitment. We have to plan for Wednesday and this match against Marseille, which had one more day of recovery than us. »
