FC Nantes outclassed timid Montpellier in the round of 32 in the Coupe de la Ligue (0-3). Vahid Halilhodzic appreciated the performance of his men, especially in the second half when they scored three goals.

Vahid Halilhodzic (Nantes head coach): "It's a great feat. Both teams had a very bad first period, especially at the technical level. On our side, we had a better second period. Whenever we have chained fast passes, we have created an interesting move to score. This is a logical victory in front of a team that has done great results lately. It was logical to see the opportunities, while Montpellier did not have many opportunities. [...] We must not stop. The League Cup is a story that has an ambition, a will and a determination if you miss it. With four matches, you can play a final in Paris, it's an event. For that, we must have the same ambition. The players, who played tonight, showed that I can count on them. With this good cycle of victories, we must be demanding until the end to hope to finish in beauty until December.

Michel Der Zakarian: "We've been bad on the collective level"
