After obtaining a valuable point in Nantes, ASSE will host Auxerre this Saturday at Geoffroy-Guichard (5 p.m.). AJA was full of confidence before this trip by winning against Brest (3-0). The Burgundians hope to start a good series.
Like ASSE and Angers, AJ Auxerre was struggling at the start of the season. Despite a victory in the opening of the championship against Nice (2-1), the AJA had a series of defeats. The bad series is now broken since the Burgundians managed to win in style against Brest. A great success which gives confidence to Christophe Pélissier’s men. Several Auxerre residents spoke on Friday evening. Words relayed on the microphone of France Bleu Bourgogne.
Pélissier wants to launch his season
Christophe Pélissier (AJA): « I was very angry after the Montpellier match, and I told the players. The week was very studious. That’s why I wanted to congratulate the boys today. On what we put in place this week, both defensively and offensively, they responded to perfection. So congratulations to the boys because frankly, it’s a very good victory with three goals scored and zero conceded, that hasn’t happened to us since the start of the season. We put in everything we wanted to put in: heart, intensity, determination. It’s a great victory tonight.
We knew that this Brest team, at the moment, if we couldn’t muster the necessary intensity or determination, it could overwhelm a lot of people. We had to at least be on an equal footing with them, we couldn’t come out of the match with regrets. In Monaco, which was well above us, I had no regrets. Tonight, we may have finally launched our season. »
Auxerre wants to move on to Sainté
Lassine Sinayoko (AJA) : « Since the start of the season, we have beaten Nice, which is European, and here we are beating Brest which is playing in the Champions League. We know we can beat everyone when we put in the ingredients. We have plunged back into work, it is bearing fruit and we will continue in the hope of moving forward. »
