Benoît Pedretti (ASNL coach): “The interruption following the blow received by Neil caused a cut. We had 15-20 difficult minutes. But we were able to regain some aggressiveness and it was better. We were able to convert two chances, we could even have added one more. Defensively, we were quite solid. We didn’t leave them much, except on set pieces. Their goal didn’t knock us over the head. He woke us up. Like Neil El Aynaoui who was courageous, there is a great state of mind in this group. Now, we don’t look at the ranking. We just think of the match in Cholet. It’s a tight championship. We saw it tonight, we beat the second, Borgo will take a point at Le Mans. No one gives up…”.
Cris (Versailles coach): “This loss hurts. We had the game in hand. But there is no easy match, especially when you play teams like Nancy. In addition, Benoît Pedretti brought another dynamic to this team. We see today that there are good players and quality in Nancy. As far as we are concerned, we are in a difficult period. It’s the first time we’ve lost twice in a row. The fact of having played on Monday did not help us. We’ll see if we bounce back or not. The upcoming match against Bastia will decide the rest of our season…”.
