Clear and firm. This Thursday noon, three days before traveling to Marseille, Nantes coach Christian Gourcuff returned to his rant after the Nantes-Metz match (0-0) on Saturday. “We showed too many shortcomings in the game, but also a lot of sufficiency in the approach to the match. We must not take ourselves for what we are not ... ", had dropped the technician after a meeting completely missed by his players. This Thursday, he justified himself on his very strong statements: "My communication, this is it, I'm not going to tell you the opposite of what I think. Afterwards, I didn't attack anyone and the players I was referring to knew about it. "

Unlike Saturday, he took on part of the responsibility for the poor performance in Messina: "I am here to help the players and if the result is that of Saturday, it is obviously my responsibility, because it is I who places them on the ground. "He finally justified his communication which did not spare his players (he hammered that he had made the same speech in the locker room to those concerned):" After, we say things and we move on, that's life and soccer. It is not by hiding and making a false ass and soothing communication that we advance. Now, it likes, it doesn't like, that's how it is. Things are said.
