After a valuable victory against Montpellier, ASSE hopes to start a series against Rennes. Dylan Batubinsika and his team will face SRFC this Saturday at 5 p.m. The Congolese international presented himself at a press conference this Thursday. Extract.
“Abdelhamid has great mental strength!” (Dylan Batubinsika, ASSE defender before the match against Rennes)
“He was very good. I think he was vindictive about the last performances he had made. Maybe he didn't play at the level he wanted and at the level we expected him to. be. But he was able to respond and we were not surprised because we work with him on a daily basis. He is a hard worker and given his career so far, it is. someone we know in Ligue 1. “He's a safe bet. Sometimes in football you go through difficult times, but it's how you get back up that's the most important thing and he showed a lot of character.”
Affected by the treatment of supporters? Batubinsika responds!
Dylan Batubinsika (ASSE Defender): “A little bit, it's normal. We can see how we are treated towards the supporters. We, as players, try not to pay attention to it, but obviously, we know and I think that He knows about it. But he stayed, he was touched. But we always saw him in a good mood in training. Every week, he didn't necessarily show it. worked So, as I said, we are not surprised. fact that he managed to get up again. He has great mental strength and that is to his credit today.”
Does it change anything that he's no longer captain? No, for me it was the same. He was the one who spoke during the warm-up. He’s the one who speaks in the locker room. He is a natural leader, with or without the armband. In truth, its role remains the same. It didn't go out. On the contrary, he was very present and he brought us all his experience, as he does in all the matches we have played so far. Even when he was on the sidelines, he was always the captain at heart that he has always been. And that's very important to us.
