Luka Elsner arrived with the dark eyes at a press conference. Angry the Amiens coach? “No, it's disappointment, because despite the red card, I have little to blame my players for. “Indeed, his team has fully entered the game. Aggressive, offering high pressure and blocking the men in the halls Bradaric and Celik, it has long hampered Losc in its Pierre-Mauroy stadium, this Wednesday evening, in the quarter-final of the League Cup.
But everything went wrong when his midfielder Bongani Zungu was sent off for a second warning, a few minutes before half time. "I was not satisfied with what we offered until the expulsion," admitted Losc coach Christophe Galtier.
Luka Elsner thought about getting Zungu out
“Managing emotions has been complicated. We will have to learn to control ourselves and keep a cool head, even in difficult times. It's already hard to win in L1, so if we also put our balls under our feet, ”warns the coach of Amiens, whose team has already received four red cards in the championship.
"I should have stayed calm," said Bongani Zungu. His coach could also have reacted after feeling the red card coming, given the repeated faults of his environment, and his visible excitement. “Yes [I thought about replacing him], recognized the Amiens coach. But I thought he was going to correct his approach. I would have released it at half time, but we ran out of time. "
From now on, it will also be Zungu, who will be suspended. And this a few days from the crucial reception in Montpellier, Saturday. "A big match", says the interested party, for Amiens, 18th in L1 and now only focused on maintaining it.
