They're a good team, they have good players, they have a coach who has ideas and they have to win the match, like all matches in Ligue 1. I don't expect anything other than the best version of Nantes and we will have to be ready for that. I think there are absentees on both sides, so it is up to us to adapt to what will be in front of us.
It’s the first match at Delaune in 2024 and I don’t want to say that I’m appealing to the supporters. But I think that in moments, like those we’re experiencing at the moment, where we don’t does not necessarily have all the weapons to play this match, they have a role to play which is even more important than usual. Already since the start of the season it has been quite phenomenal, there is really a blow to play and things to do in the weeks to come. We need them and I sincerely hope that there will be people there on Sunday. The more it grows and the more it pushes us to do great things so that would be great.
Individually I want to help the team as much as possible. Concede as few chances and goals as possible. Collectively it's the same thing, concede as few goals as possible and win as much as possible.

Antoine Kombouaré
Manager on Nantes…OUR PERFORMANCE
We were all very touched by the elimination in the Coupe de France. We lost an opportunity to keep the Nantes tradition on the cup. We now move on to the following match, against Reims. We have to put all our energy into this match, we have prepared all week by working well. Now it has to come to fruition, it has to improve.
…REIMS
Reims is having a very good season, they have very good dynamics but they are like us. They were taken out of the cup like us, and against Sochaux.
…WIN
It’s up to us to tell ourselves that we can take points everywhere. We have to go get things, it won't fall out like that. I think the mentality is there, but not enough yet. We have to be tougher, be tough to play for the opponent and reverse the trend.
