Nantes v PSG: Lopes left with major regrets | OneFootball

This Sunday evening, Paris Saint-Germain returned to Ligue 1, despite a glaring lack of preparation. It was against FC Nantes that the capital's club resumed national competition, and won by the smallest of margins 0-1 against the Bretons (see the Nantes/PSG summary). Anthony Lopes, the Canaries' goalkeeper, stopped at the Ligue 1+ microphones to reflect on this defeat:

Lopes: "I think it was an avoidable goal"

Are there reasons for satisfaction in defeat?

Yes, there are reasons for satisfaction but then we knew we were going to face a good team from Paris. We still wanted to play our chances fully. I think we lacked precision at times. We were also a bit tired because they made us run a lot. Well, they didn't do much either, but in terms of spirit, the defeat hurts but we must continue in this same spirit and we will have much happier evenings.

You had warned your team that they play set pieces quickly.

Yes, even with a bit of fatigue we need to be more lucid. If we leave a minimum of space to this Paris team, we knew very well that they could play set pieces quickly. They have very good shooters, they can play two, three they can play in the axis and strike as it happened tonight. We lacked a bit of intelligence. I think it was an avoidable goal.
