Nantes coach Pierre-Alain Picard has admitted that his team, which lost 0-2 to Paris FC in their first Championship match, will need time to find its rhythm. This admission comes from L'Équipe Football. Picard stated that his team took a "good punch of intensity" from Paris FC in the first 15 minutes, which left them "asphyxiated". Despite conceding few chances in the first quarter of the match, Nantes were unable to capitalize on their opportunities.
Picard attributed the loss to Paris FC's strong offensive power and the team's ability to set a high pace. He also acknowledged that his team's new players, including ten who started against Paris FC, will need time to adapt to the team's style of play. "We have to be humble," Picard said. "We don't have the capacity to play two matches like that at the end of the season." He added that the team will need to be able to adapt quickly and be regular in their performances, both individually and collectively.
Nantes will look to bounce back from their loss in their next match against Fleury.
