WILFRIED NANCY
"It's difficult. We suffered and we felt like we were moving back too much. The regret I have is that the goal came after one of our offensive sequences where we could have done better. But I am proud of the guys because it wasn't easy. We played in front of a big crowd. The global performance was really good. The guys fought. We could have done better in front goal, and we were close to achieving something great. Defensively, the guys did what they had to do. Atlanta was really good at transitioning defensively."
SAMUEL PIETTE
"We worked really hard in a tough atmosphere. Everyone worked well. Losing at the last second is heartbreaking. In general, we played a good game. The attitude was good. The players were tired after the game because they gave everything during the game. We have to learn to be more intelligent. We had our chances. But I think the draw would have been fairer."
RUDY CAMACHO
"I hope it's the last time we allow a goal in the last minute like that. We fought until the end, but it was played on a few seconds. We have really clear instructions, and the spirit is good. We ran a lot for each other. We were solid, but not enough. We have a lot of fun this year. We are always close to earning points."
