An ignoring the context of arbitration to create surprise on the green rectangle: this is the very clear message that Antoine Kombouaré wanted to convey in a press conference, two days before the trip of the FC Nantes in Marseille.
“We know it's a very difficult match, but we want to create a surprise, to validate the last victory against Lens, we feel ready, launched the technician. I know that we are going to play a large OM team, second in the championship and under pressure with Nice at three points, which remains on a backhand but which has scored 50 goals, which has a lot of talented players with Amine Gouiri and Ismaël Bennacer who give her added value. »»
Kombouaré very ambitious before om-natives
Antoine Kombouaré can draw inspiration from the AJ Auxerre approach last Saturday. “Inevitably, after you have to be effective like them. We reacted well against Lens after Monaco, a slap well rooted in our heads. We are keen to rely on the Lens match, we found confidence, there are still points to get, why not in Marseille. The challenge is very large and I like the big challenges. The harder it is, the more we want to prove mentally, technically, physically, to compete. Now, you have to avoid going too much back, being able to highlight the balloons in the face of a team capable of imposing its game, its rhythm, and formidable on the loss, to bring the block back, even if the danger can come from everywhere, with excess of function. We have arguments, the idea is to go there with ambition, character, I do not want to see my team spend 90 minutes to make only defend, I want to see Rulli making stops and feeling in difficulty. »»
And the Nantes coach to cut any controversy so as not to add pressure on the shoulders of Stéphanie FRAPPART, designated by arbitrating this match.
“We ignore all of this, worries that OM meets with refereeing, we especially have to stay focused on our match, that we have a big match. Inevitably, when we have exceeded the limits as it was the case, we expect behind that calm comes back, let the referees do their work. It is clear that people will observe how Ms. Fracpart will arbitrate, but we just have to make our match, to play against OM, to put the commitment it takes, and to trust her refereeing. We have professional referees, who work in different contexts and know how to manage and she will be ready, I have no doubt about it, like Mr. Stinat ready to arbitrate immediately after what happened. This is the problem of OM and arbitration, not ours. »» It is said.
