PSG v Nantes: Kantari speaks out on the match postponement

Due to its Champions League return match against Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain has had its Ligue 1 match against FC Nantes rescheduled to April 20. In a press conference, Ahmed Kantari, the coach of the Nantes club, spoke on the matter.

Kantari: "We would have definitely preferred to play next week"

"We have two international breaks coming up. Do we really have a choice? I think today we have to adapt. We would have definitely preferred to play next week. But our job is about adapting. Today, we are going to focus on the things we can control. I don't want to waste energy on things I can't impact."

Of course, the rescheduling of a match is always more challenging for the team that doesn't have to prepare for a European match. Nevertheless, PSG remains the only French team competing in the Champions League, and doing everything possible to ensure they advance as far as possible by preparing under the best conditions remains crucial.

Obviously, this won't please everyone. But last year, PSG showed that it could make France shine on a global and European scale, so this adjustment in the schedule is also justifiable.
