“In my opinion, we cannot value this retention of Nantes on the last day as a title for example. In terms of emotions why but we are talking about a team that should never have found themselves in such a situation on the last day with this squad full of quality with players like Blas who should not find themselves in this situation. They just avoided a huge shame” details Walid Acherchour before concluding.
Walid Acherchour does not congratulate Nantes despite maintaining
“We are not going to congratulate someone who has worked badly all year and who escapes to catch up against Angers who were already condemned. In Europe and in the cup, Nantes delighted us. But there has been this feeling for several weeks that they have avoided a catastrophe. I will remember in 20 years the final against Nice last year but I will not remember this match against Angers on the 38th day” believes the consultant, for whom the FC Nantes season is simply shameful, despite this in-extremis rescue in Ligue 1 on the last day.
