At the Beaujoire stadium,

Two very distinct copies for the same disappointing result: zero goals scored, zero points on the clock.

Defeated 1-0 in Rennes last Sunday, the Nantes people lost again, with an identical score, Friday night at home against Olympique Lyonnais.

But the comparison stops at this balance sheet.

Because the content was much more exciting this time: half a dozen very clear chances, more than fifteen shots and almost as many centers.

Despite the absence of Kolo Muani at kick-off and an unusual center-forward at the post (Coco), FC Nantes, which lined up for the first time its rookie Bukari, owes its silence only to the parades of Anthony Lopes and a certain awkwardness in the last gesture (Blas in particular).

" I am disgusted "

“There are many, many regrets, laments the Nantes coach, Antoine Kombouaré.

We could have taken a blow to the head after this goal from Dembélé.

But it was not.

I saw revolted players.

I liked the face of my team.

It's a very, very frustrating defeat.

I am disgusted.

"

The experienced Andrei Girotto, once again positioned in midfield against OL, shares the same feeling of waste.

“We had a lot of chances.

We tried everything, especially in the second half.

The supporters pushed us.

It's a shame to come out of a match like that with a defeat.

But the opportunities must be realized… ”

With or without Kolo Muani?

Can the Canaries reproduce this offensive going for the rest of the season? Not so sure. "I do not know if we are capable of it, because we are still fragile", recognizes Antoine Kombouaré. The question arises all the more if Randal Kolo Muani, who has just started his last year of contract, was to be transferred in the last hours of the transfer window. “We already have a very small group,” says Andrei Girotto. I hope they will all stay. We need all of our attackers. "

“If there is a start, someone will need to replace him,” warns Antoine Kombouaré.

The Kanak coach would be satisfied to continue with the current squad, despite his limitations.

"The group at my disposal today suits me very, very well," he assures us.

It is homogeneous.

There is everything you need to have a good season.

So as not to be scared like last year.

"

FC Nantes will face Nice on the fifth day of the championship, September 12.

For now, he has four points in four games.
