Due to their Champions League second leg against Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain’s Ligue 1 match against FC Nantes has been postponed to April 20th. In a press conference, Ahmed Kantari, the Nantes coach, addressed the situation.
Kantari: “We would obviously have preferred to play next week.”
“We have two international breaks coming up. Do we really have a choice? I think we have to adapt. We would obviously have preferred to play next week. But our profession is all about adapting.
Today, we’re going to focus on the things we can control. I don’t want to waste energy on things I can’t influence.”
Naturally, postponing a match is always more of a challenge for the team that doesn’t have to prepare for a European game.” Nevertheless, PSG remains the only French team competing in the Champions League, and doing everything possible to help them go as far as possible by preparing in the best conditions remains paramount.
Obviously, this won’t please everyone. But last year, PSG showed that it can bring glory to France on a global and European stage, so this adjustment to the schedule is also justifiable.
