Meeting Highlights…OPPONENT
The Toulouse have just beaten three big cars. They changed tactics, it suits them well. They are one of the teams pressing the most in Ligue 1 since they changed their system. Naturally, it did them good to no longer be in the European Cup and to only think about the championship. There are also the recruits, notably Gboho who has energised the offensive sector. It's a good time for them. We also experienced this. This is the story of a season for all teams with cycles.
…ABOUT THE MATCH
Our objective will be to regain colour this Sunday by playing the best possible match, putting aside what the opponent wants to do and their dynamic. We shouldn't worry about that, we simply have to take into account what they do well to create uncertainty and deliver a good performance.
…EXPECTATION
The team must show the values expected in these moments: combativeness, work, effort... Ultimately, this is what we have provided almost all the time this season, even in difficult moments. Our audience follows us, the enthusiasm is there. I am convinced that we will be encouraged against Toulouse. It is in everyone's interest. Everyone wants to see Ligue 1 next August. It requires unity both in the stands and on the pitch.

Antoine Kombouaré
Manager on Nantes...ABOUT THE MATCH
We are going to Le Havre with a lot of determination, against a direct opponent. We really have to win this match to get some fresh air, to allow ourselves to breathe a little. We obviously play an important part of the season but we have to approach normally. You have to be aware of the situation but play this match and not think about what will happen next. If we are leading, you will have to continue playing and learn the lessons from this poster against Lyon.
...VICTORIES
We understood that it was possible in these two matches which gave us the strength to understand that it is playable. Le Havre has arguments to put forward but it is up to us to put the right ingredients in, to start this game strong to put them under pressure and get the victory that would do us the world of good today.
...MY ROLE
am in or have already experienced this situation in the past. To get out of it, I know that we have to stay calm. We do not play like a barrage team or a formation that is going to go down. We do it saw in our match against Nice and during the first period against Lyon. It's a positive point, a strong point to keep. My role is to be calm about that, to reassure the guys with the other experienced players who do it very well. The idea is to give confidence to others and especially to the younger ones. Being part of the collective, helping the team, it's essential.
