  • Saint-Etienne, who led 2-0, finally conceded the draw (2-2) at La Beaujoire this Sunday afternoon.

  • Claude Puel does not want his troops because he believes that his training was logically lacking in freshness with this week in three games.

He will not have missed much to succeed in the four in a row.

A few minutes, but above all a lot of "physical freshness", according to trainer Claude Puel, very relaxed and smiling at a press conference.

Saint-Etienne, who led 2-0 in Nantes this Sunday afternoon, had an eventful end to the match (2-2).

And in the five minutes of extra time, it came close to Nantes not even winning the victory ... Finally, the Greens keep their invincibility and resume their place on their leaping seat leader of Ligue 1.

“It was obvious that with three games in a week and two consecutive trips, we were going to run out of gas, immediately defended the technician from Saint-Etienne.

I congratulate my players because they gave everything under the difficult conditions.

We tried to be actors, to play our game. We couldn't do it during the whole match.

We lacked a little control of the ball, technical control.

“Nantes also annoyed the Greens, especially in the second half.

A period during which "we suffered", admits Thimothée Kolodziejczak, the central defender of the Greens.

Mason's jewel

“A point, it's not bad but when we see the scenario, we say to ourselves that we are a little disappointed, ends up admitting Claude Puel.

We touched the possibility of aligning a fourth victory by leading 2-0.

With a little more freshness, maybe we could have managed the end of the game better.

"Kolodziejczak wants to be positive:" We have remained united, solid.

The group is young, but it adapts very quickly to the high level.

Aouchiche, 18, made the Nantes defense dizzy and opened his goal counter in Ligue 1. Mason (22) did the same by catapulting a shot into the top corner of Lafont.

“We fought with our weapons today,” concludes Puel.

We continually tried to undertake when we could.

We gave everything, I have no specific complaints to my players in these circumstances.

This time, Saint-Etienne has a week of work before facing Rennes, co-leader.
