Benoît Tavenot (Metz) after the draw against Clermont: “There is still a small chance” of staying alive

Benoît Tavenot, assistant coach of Metz, after the draw against Clermont (1-1): “It’s a feeling of disappointment. I’m sad. We needed this victory and there was room. Afterwards, I have the feeling that the players have torn each other off. We have the feeling of having given everything. You have to play the shots thoroughly, there is still a small chance (of staying in Ligue 1). The situation is very complicated but if we take six points from the two upcoming matches (in Lorient and against Brest), we will still be “alive”. You have to play to take the three points in Lorient. Pascal Gastien, Clermont coach: “I’m disappointed with the result. We can say that these are two points lost. We created huge chances. Maybe it’s a trust issue. We were clumsy, more than enough in L1. It’s not a good operation but we are on the outside, we took a point, we break the bad dynamic. We had this opportunity to take three points, we did not. No, Metz is not definitely out of the game. I put myself in their shoes, nothing is done, nothing is lost. »
