  • Angers (9th) lost (1-3) in the Pays-de-la-Loire derby against Nantes this Sunday at Raymond-Kopa.

  • The SCO took two goals in the first six minutes of play.

  • A start to the match that angered Stéphane Moulin, the coach of the SCO.

From our special correspondent in Angers

"I'm a little scared so I prefer to stop there ..." After a few minutes to curse after his players, Stéphane Moulin kindly asked journalists to cut his press conference short.

For fear of speaking nonsense?

Probably not because it is not his style.

No, rather because he had said everything about "the start of a catastrophic match", according to him, his training, beaten (1-3) against this Sunday in Raymond-Kopa.

After six minutes of play, Nantes, yet in a series of sixteen games without a win, led 0-2.

A start to the match, "worse than usual".

Indeed, in Bordeaux, on January 24, the Angevins were two goals behind after eleven minutes, and in Nice, eight days ago, after seventeen minutes… “Unfortunately, I feel powerless in the face of this state of affairs , Moulin analysis.

This is not for lack of warning that lately, the start of the match allowed us to win [victory against Rennes in the Coupe de France on Thursday] or made us lose.

I am the manager,

a priori

I do not speak French well.

I'm just ashamed of what we did.

I assume, I am the coach, I am the first responsible.

When you get in the wrong way, you can't go fast.

Nantes took advantage of it.

"

A catastrophic lawn

The Angevins managed to reduce the gap on a penalty scored by Mangani (33rd).

Boufal hit the bar just at the start of the second period (50th), but that's it, and that's not much for a SCO sheltered in Ligue 1 in the middle of the standings and opposed to a sick Nantes team.

“I take my share of responsibility, repeats Stéphane Moulin, obsessed with the start of his family.

I can't turn the right knobs, but I would like the players to take theirs… Our game plan was damaged after six minutes of play. "

And the pitch in a pitiful state in Kopa did not help the Angevins to develop the game to come back in this match.

"This necessarily complicates the matter when you have to play on a field like this, but I repeat, it's our fault ...", concludes Stéphane Moulin, who should have a new explanation of text with his players this week at La Baumette.
