In forty years of career, he had "never seen that". For his return to Rennes on Friday, Christian Gourcuff surely had not imagined such a scenario. While his team still led the game in the 95th minute, the Rennais managed to equalize through Benjamin Bourigeaud before Raphinha delivered his partners in the very last seconds of the game stoppages (3-2). "It is not normal this end of the match, we must control it much better," he said, a little MP, at a press conference.
Hi @FCNantes
- Fédé 🇫🇷 de la Lose (@FFLose) January 31, 2020If the defeat is cruel, the Nantes coach is not looking for excuses. "We can only blame ourselves," he said, aware however that such a scenario would not have been "imaginable" if he could have relied on its central hinge Pallois- Girotto Friday evening at the neighbor of Rennes. "We will have to digest this, it will be very difficult but it's still football," he added.
"A professional error" for Captain Touré
On leaving the locker room, the Canaries also had it bad. Captain Abdoulaye Touré also had harsh words for his team. "It is a professional error!" We lose this match on two goals where we are completely wait-and-see, ”he said.

While the reception of PSG looms on Tuesday, the defender took the opportunity to pass messages to his partners. “After this defeat, it is up to us to question ourselves but we will have to punch our fists on the table. Because this end of the match must not happen again ”. Not sure indeed that Nantes supporters want to relive such a scenario anytime soon, which is more in a derby.
