Several players in the match presented themselves in the mixed zone after the match between ASSE and FC Nantes (1-1). Among them, Dylan Batubinsika, Benjamin Bouchouari and scorer Augustine Boakye. Transcription of remarks broadcast on Here Saint-Étienne Loire.
Dylan Batubinsika (ASSE defender): “Not necessarily surprised to have the ball so much but it’s true that we had it the majority of the time. They were grouped very low on the ground so it was up to us to try to unlock the padlock, it was complicated. It was hard. In the end we escaped thanks to a long shot which allowed us to equalize. »
At ASSE, “we put all the ingredients in place to recover”
“I think hitting is something good to get them out. They are leading the score so obviously they want to keep this result and so it was up to us to find the fault with crosses, strikes and combinations as we were able to do. Maybe a little more variation in the game because we had a lot of situations but very few chances in the end. »
“The most complicated match of the three? There was obviously Paris, but it was certainly a complicated match in the sense that finding the solution was difficult. Afterwards we had the ball the majority of the time, we were also able to show good things with the ball once again. So complicated no, but we lacked patience. »
A sustainable intensity until the end of the season? “In any case we put in all the ingredients to recover. A simple example: we have physiotherapists who are available for even more time than they were before, this helps us with recovery. Today, there are certain players who haven't played for a long time but who have shown that they are still in good shape so as time goes on I think we will use more and more players and if everyone is competitive we can have a rotation. »
“I came into play to make the defenders suffer, as usual”
Augustine Boakye (ASSE striker): “We wanted to win this match but we couldn’t. We will continue to work on the next matches. »
“We continue to work to be better, to win all the matches, especially here so that the city is happy, that everyone is happy. This is what we work for. »
-“I came in to make calls, to use depth, to make defenders suffer, as usual. »
“I like long shots, I shoot a lot in training to work on my finishing. »
“I’m a player who has a lot of possession, so some teams kick”
Benjamin Bouchouari (ASSE midfielder): “Regrets. I think we are all disappointed because it was a match to win, a very important match. Afterwards we still manage to come back, we get a draw, it's better than nothing. But with the control of the ball we had today, we have to do better. »
“I think we have to improve in the last gesture. Especially the last 25/30 meters, that's where we need to be even sharper. It's up to us to work on it. Now we have the ball, before we didn't have it. Little by little we are moving forward and if we manage to improve that, we will become a very dangerous team. »
“It’s the first time we’ve played against a low block, you have to get used to it, it’s different. At one point it was us playing low block. This is something we need to work on. »
“I'm playing more and more, teams are analyzing us and I'm a player who has the ball a lot so some teams will come and give me blows. You have to stay focused, it's not easy but you have to stay in the game and continue doing what I do every day. »
