Two monuments of French football clash on Saturday at La Beaujoire.
Nantes (18th) and Bordeaux (15th) play a big part of their future.
Two formations which make "pity" to Antoine Kombouaré, the coach of the Canaries, questioned this Thursday noon at a press conference on the situation of the Canaries and Girondins.
“It hurts, insisted the Kanak.
It is even pitiful.
I say it with my words.
However, when we see the budgets of the two teams in comparison with those of Paris, Monaco, Lyon, Lille, even Rennes, it is difficult to fight.
Today, it would be a surprise to see one of these teams [FC Nantes or Bordeaux] play at the top of the table.
Afterwards, we can create surprises….
But yes, it's sad to see these teams like that.
"
"It's excruciating, but that's how it is!
"
Saturday, Bordeaux, which is on a favorable waiver with 39 points and five points ahead of its opponent of the day, comes to Beaujoire “above all not to lose”, according to Kombouaré.
“By taking a point, the Bordelais keep us at a distance.
If they come to impose themselves, we no longer exist and we stay in their rear-view mirror.
"
A Nantes coach who refuses to project too much three games from the end: “The bet is to leave my club in L1 at the end of the season.
Today, it is still difficult to talk about an objective.
We are in the middle of the work with the idea of stringing together victories.
We are so far in the standings.
I just realized that we won only seven games, it's atrocious, but that's how it is.
