“This defeat remains striking […] However, I would like to stress that this derby was not the main reason for my departure. In the locker room, it was even going quite well. Let’s say this was the result of a few internal malfunctions, which I didn’t like at all. I was especially embarrassed towards the supporters, “Oscar Garcia revealed in an interview with So Foot. Back in Ligue 1, the Spaniard is making a complicated debut for Stade de Reims. Beaten by LOSC (2-1) on Wednesday, the Champagne club is only 15th in the standings after 7 days.
