« They Hit the target twice, and even then… » : Nantes Coach Gourvennec takes a swipe at PSG

Jocelyn Gourvennec, the coach of Nantes, didn’t appreciate losing 2-0 against PSG with two lucky goals.

A deflected long-range shot, a penalty. The Nantes defense couldn’t resist the Parisian pressure, but for Jocelyn Gourvennec, coach of the Canaries, the defeat is more than bitter. « We lacked a bit of accuracy and efficiency on the chances we played, » he said.

Furthermore, he judged that PSG was fortunate. « They hit the target twice, and even the first one was a deflected shot. Then there’s the penalty, on which I have nothing to say. It’s a bit harsh to lose like this after following the plan to the letter. We were rather clever at times to make them defend near their goal. »

Moussa Sissoko, who deflected Lucas Hernandez’s shot for the first goal, is also disappointed. « There’s this first goal with a great shot that comes in and hurts us. But we stayed focused in the match. Then there’s this penalty, and we knew that at 2-0 it would be difficult. We continued with the game plan, and we still created chances, and I think we should have scored a goal in this match. We have nothing to be ashamed of, and now we’ll rest well because we have a very important match next week. »
