FC Nantes lost 0-1 at Beaugeoire against Lille in the opening match of the 10th day of Ligue 1 played on Friday. A defeat that the Togolese Canaries striker, Serge Gakpé, has difficulty digesting.
“We are very disappointed ,” he admits at the microphone of our colleagues at beIN Sport before returning to the reasons for this poor performance.
“We started this match badly, we couldn’t string together passes and we conceded this goal which put us in the back of our heads just before half-time. In the second half, we started stronger, we pushed until the end, but, unfortunately, we were unable to equalize. In the first half, we lost a lot of balls and also a lot of energy chasing .
The Togolese international also wonders if the stakes of the game had not paralyzed his team’s playing intentions.
“Did the stakes cause us to be foiled?” I don’t know, maybe since we knew it was a big test. We didn’t show a bad face either, but it’s just that we should have started the match with more confidence .
