“The details killed us today,” Wilfried Nancy

Wilfried Nancy made it through to the post-match media conference stage today without being sacked and he went on to re-assure the Celtic support that he’d still be our manager in the coming weeks as he has the full confidence of the self-proclaimed world class in everything that they do, Celtic Board…

Here’s what the Frenchman was saying after the second half collapse against theRangers led to a 3-1 defeat. Had the league started when Nancy took over Celtic would be in danger of being RELEGATED!…

Q: How do you summarise that performance from your team?

Wilfried Nancy: “The first half was outstanding, offensively but defensively also. The commitment to win the ball back, the intensity that we put in, we should have scored more goals. The second half, we wanted to do the same and we conceded one goal on a throw-in. After that, the second goal was one throw-in and the third goal was one throw-in. So this is the reality actually. I think my players deserve better for sure, because of what they did in the first half and also when they started the second half, but the details killed us today.”

Q: Why does it seem that this team can’t deliver a 90-minute performance? Because in many of your defeats, you played well in one half and then not in the second half. Why is that?

Wilfried Nancy: “This is something that we are working on. There is a bit of everything. It could be the consistency to keep the intensity. But also for me, I think the intensity was there. This is more about details. Small details today was the case with the goals that we conceded. Again, I can talk about focusing, and I can talk about many things, but we have to be better on this one.”
