‘Not on a mission’
After the victory against Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday in the round of 16 return (3-1), the assistant coach of OGC Nice Julien Sablé spoke about the status of the last French representative in Europe. “You don’t feel any weight. We put pressure on ourselves on a daily basis to progress. We do not feel on a mission for anyone. The players celebrated the qualification, but they are measured. They are competitors. They have a lot of humility and ambitions. They want to keep winning matches. We have not yet achieved the desired objectives.»
