It wasn’t Thursday evening though. But obviously, on Friday also OGC Nice can take a beating. In immense difficulty in the Europa League, the Riviera club conceded its third consecutive defeat in Ligue 1 by losing against Olympique de Marseille, in a big way (1-5), at the opening of the 13th day of Ligue 1.

We recovered a lot of high balls, more than this season, but we didn’t use them well enough to hurt the opponent. Behind, we are punished by a team that does not need help. When we give so much, she helps herself,” reacted the Aiglons coach at a press conference.
“Until half-time, there were consistent intentions, observes the former RC Lens coach. But every goal conceded is a grain of sand. Some were avoided by our guard. The first goal is symptomatic: it was precisely a point of alert worked on three hours before the match. We are offering too much, and at this level it is impossible. »

Franck Haise has often raised his voice recently after his team’s defeats, notably the one conceded to Metz (2-1) just before the international break. This time, he seems more resigned, even if he rejects the term
“fatalist”.
“I look things in the face, he confides.
It is our overall level that is insufficient. Of course, there are individual failures, but the whole is not up to par. We do good things and we take five: we are very far from the mark. »
