Nantes: Kombouaré gets angry with journalists after questions about his tactics

The Canaries coach was seriously annoyed that his system choices were called into question at a press conference this Friday.

Beaten by Reims on the score of 3-1 last Sunday, Antoine Kombouaré was asked about his tactical change, his team having played in 4-3-3, instead of the usual 4-2-3-1 (or 4-4-2): “Do you want to piss me off?” It is not the system which gives a result but the animation. We equalized in this system. I later changed to a 4-2-3-1 and we took two more goals. Stop. I do not answer these kinds of questions. What matters to me is how the team behaves. Against Reims, we were a little smug. We thought we had done the hard part by coming back to score. Maybe I should have stayed in 4-3-3… I’m going to change systems every weekend. All the people who think it’s the fault of the system don’t know anything about football ” he said, before continuing: “I choose systems based on the players who can play. Stop with the system, you tire me… Maybe Reims was just better. There are plenty of reasons (explaining the defeat). (…) Did you think we were the best team in France? We will lose other games… You started talking about other goals, but we know that there will be complicated games. What is important is to react. I have always said that my team is fragile. »

FC Nantes will play this Sunday against Troyes, at 3pm. Antoine Kombouaré’s team is 10th in Ligue 1.
