Saturday in Hérouville, the Eagles will play their last match before the winter break. Objectives: avoid the Norman trap!
And for that, the international week did not help the club. Indeed, the three tricolors Youness Ahssen, Thibaut Garros and Ayoub Bouita, as well as the Lion of the Atlas, Issam Ahssen, returned to the club on Wednesday. Moreover, even if they shone, notably with two assists for Youness Ahssen and a double for Bouita against Georgia, they also came back with ailments. The Ahssen brothers with muscle pain and a small sprained ankle, and goalkeeper Thibaut Garros with a sprained finger. Despite everything, the atmosphere is good and it will be necessary for this trip against a poorly ranked team, which Alberto Arteaga wants to be wary of: “It’s an eye-catching team, and complicated to play at home. They have a lot of players experienced, very good offensively and who can score at any time. It’s typically the kind of match which, at the end of the season, when you add up and you haven’t won, makes the difference.” This is why the Spanish coach is doing a lot of work to keep his players involved for the last match of the year: “We must not take it lightly and avoid problems,” he adds.

Especially since a success could allow the Eagles to spend the holidays warm in one of the first four places. “It’s been the motivation since the start of the season, to get into the play-offs. So far we haven’t succeeded so it’s the perfect moment. If we win, we will then have three weeks to work on good conditions, positive,” insists coach Arteaga.
Currently sixth with 13 points, UJS is only one length behind Toulon in fourth and four points behind Sporting Club Paris leader.
