The beginnings are complicated for Bruno Baltazar at the head of Stade Malherbe Caen. In Ajaccio on Friday January 17, 2025, after his third defeat in as many matches (2-1), the Portuguese coach delivered his impressions to the microphones of BeIN Sports and Ici Normandie.
Bruno Baltazar: “The game plan was to wait for them to drop in level physically. But you had to be consistent for 90 minutes. We are still far from what I expect from my team. There is still work to do, I still feel the players are anxious, not comfortable attacking as I ask. The team that deserves to win is the one that scores the most. We weren't consistent enough. We wanted to win this match and be consistent, but unfortunately, that wasn't possible today. We controlled after halftime. We managed to push Ajaccio behind. We started to play more offensively and we managed to score. But we didn't have the chance to keep the result. We were solid in the first half, but we lacked concentration and consistency in the second half. I have to watch the images, I'm far from the action. We worked a lot, we showed more consistency in the last matches. I haven't seen anyone with a lack of aggression. Even in the first half. But we created opportunities, we scored. You have to find the correct formula to win matches.
Each coach must find the best eleven to start the match. All the players are working hard, I have made my choices. Michael Le Bihan entered well. Lorenzo was limited because of the cardboard, that's why we changed. I think Mousounda and Traoré played a solid match, but the truth is that we conceded two goals from set pieces, collective defensive actions. We must continue to work. It's not just pretty words. We have to continue, stay focused and show even more. Not just the players, everyone at the club, to get out of this situation. There are good things in each match and things that I don't like at all. We were solid for a large part of the match. Even if we showed more, the truth of football is the results and we lost three games in a row. Ilyes Najim worked hard. It's a good problem for the coach when everyone works like that. He doesn't have much pace of play and still made an assist.
-We are missing two or three players, that's for sure, but we must have more quality, everyone knows that. I have already had the opportunity to talk about the transfer window. We want players capable of making a difference, with human qualities and professionalism. We are all working together to make the right choices and I hope to have news very soon. You have to move, bring positive energy. »
