Thomas Sanogothe assistant coach of the club Vendée Poiré Football, for Girondins4Ever and before the meetingreturned to the last match and this point taken against Herbiers (1-1). A good point to take?
« That's a point. At home we aim to win our matches. We could almost say that we lost two points in this match because given the nature of the match, I think we can win even if some will say that there was a disputed penalty. It's a penalty. There were opportunities that we weren't able to capitalize on, there were penalty situations that weren't called too. But really, if we look at the appearance of the match, we put in the ingredients we needed to win. Afterwards it’s a great Herbiers team so that’s a point. It's neither good nor bad, it's a point. We continue to move forward. It's been two games that we haven't lost, these are positive things. »
You have several experienced players like Romain Cagnon, Yacouba Seydi, Baptiste Isola, Jordan Cuvier and Jordan Kassa. Is it mainly up to them to pull the group forward this season?
« I think that each player has the responsibility to pull the group, his partner, up. It is everyone's responsibility. Afterwards yes obviously, the players who have a little more experience, who have important roles in the team, they have to bring everyone along. But I think we have a group that moves forward well together, everyone knows how to stay in their place. Today, our most experienced players are present like the others. Afterwards, we don't put any particular pressure on these players, any more than on the others. They are players who have a team spirit, who know what they have to do. If it's the most important? Exactly, since it’s a collective. Afterwards we are aware that there are players who have a background at National 2 level or above and who must contribute to us, and who already contribute to us. »
