They dreamed of a big parade in red and black in the streets of Nice, strolling around the Coupe de France on a double-decker bus. It will finally be a gray Sunday to rehash this Nantes penalty and these Nice wanderings. Tough return home for the more than 20,000 Nissart supporters who traveled to the capital by train, bus, car or plane that France Bleu Azur followed all day.
We haven’t slept for two days, we spent a fortune to go up and we are not rewarded
Sylvain and his father flew back and forth, didn’t take a hotel to spend a little less and therefore slept painfully between their suitcase and their grief. “We’re going to go down a bit there, it’s a bit hard even if with the last games we expected it a little bit”.
Beyond the cup itself, soon installed in the Nantes trophy cabinet, Melvyn especially regrets the end of an effervescence on the Côte d’Azur. “The return is complicated. An atmosphere had been created in Nice, an effervescence … We wanted it so badly. We were hoping for the party on the Promenade des Anglais, but that’s how it is.”
Place now at a capital end of the championship if Nice still wants to travel on the European scene next season.
