Nice conceded another European defeat this Thursday evening against Fribourg. One setback too many for Franck Haise.
It has been two and a half years – and already 16 matches played in the meantime – since OGC Nice no longer imposed itself on the continental scene. This Thursday against Friborg during the 4e
day of the Europa Leaguethe Aiglons failed again, surprised at home with a score of 1-3 after having opened the scoring.
“ Ashamed “, ” shabby », the Gym players themselves have no shortage of harsh words to describe their evening performance. But it was again Franck Haise, usually so diplomatic, who was the most harsh at the end of the meeting. “ Beyond individual mistakes, everyone must do better. We are not at the level in the European Cup », Says the former Lensois coach.
And to press where it hurts, as relayed by RMC. “ I’ve been talking about high standards since I’ve been here, the daily work, not falling as soon as there’s a duel… Many players fall as soon as there’s a duel! It’s the same in training. Stop falling! And then when you start playing, you have to continue. Why are we stopping? »
“Fed up with losing matches”
“ We must be at 110%Franck Haise trumpets again. If you don’t add more, you’ll get blown up. In 13 minutes! Until we understand that we have to be one all the time… All the time! That you shouldn’t make a face when you’re a substitute, when you go out… It’s on the pitch that you have to show off! Some have good matches. You also have to leave your ego behind, it’s not going to make you run. Besides, there is no world champion, neither me nor them. So let’s give our best! »
“ I expect us to give our all, to respond in the game, in the duels, everywhere. Even if there is a mistake, we must continue to respond togetherconcludes the Côte d’Azur technician.
I’m fed up with losing matches! I think I protect a lot outdoors. But at some point you have to say things to yourself. When you’re on the ground all the time, you have to say things to yourself. And I’m the first one not good, but damn the guys have to send! We are capable of doing good things! »
