“Berlin has mastered”, acknowledges Nantes pivot Jérémy Toto after elimination in the European League

“What happened to H to collapse like this at home against Berlin (30-37)?
We were strong for twenty games without a loss, this time we lost as a team. It was complicated. Berlin controlled their match. They have been consistent in everything they have done. And they had a great goalkeeper (Dejan Milosavljev), who made crazy displays.

You chased the score all night.
Also in the first stage (33-33), we had only been ahead for a few minutes at the end. We were happy with this draw in Berlin, we had put in a good performance, and there we suffered our first home defeat of the season. When it’s hot, it’s hard. We have four games left and goals to reach in the Championship (2nd place, qualification for the Champions League). I’m frustrated, angry, because I wanted to experience this Final Four with this team. For two years that I have been here, we work, we whip every day. But you have to accept the hard law of the sport.

You kept hope with a small comeback at the end of the match, but it wasn’t enough.
We never stopped believing because we are capable of great things. But mistakes are costly at this level. You must be aware of the value of the ball, do not rush. We lacked clarity. Also in defence, we are not used to conceding so many goals. Without accusing anyone, the relationship was complicated with our guards (only three stops combined for Pesic and Biosca). »
