“We dominated our opponent today” (Razik Nedder, after the victory in the derby)

“We are really happy with this victory. Already in the way because without being chauvinistic and analyzing the match, we dominated our opponent today. We created a clear number of significant clear chances. It would have been a real disappointment to draw today given the domination, the performance we gave The penalty is the consequence of our domination and the fact that we pushed so much in this match. We are perfectionists and we would have. wanted to score 1,2,3 goals to be able to have a clearer victory in terms of score.

Afterwards, in terms of content, we still gave a big performance today. It was like what we did against the Marseille reserve. Against the reserve teams we still have the ability to put on more intensity than our opponents. We were ambitious today with my staff with the desire to play in 343 with a lot of offensive players pressing high.

“To succeed at ASSE, you must become aware of this rivalry with respect and good intelligence. It’s part of the identity of our club.”

We are satisfied with the victory and the content of our match today. So, it is obvious that we were in a special context with the Green Angels who were there and who we thank because we are lucky enough to have them for a reserve match. He was already at Geoffroy Guichard last night and it was already incredible. For us, on our scale it’s incredible and it helps us prepare the players, train them. The animosity we have towards this club is up to us to pass it on to the players. To succeed at ASSE, you must become aware of this rivalry with respect and good intelligence. It’s part of the identity of our club.

We were in a delicate situation, the matches were not going our way but we were very positive with my staff, so that we were convinced that this match was going to go our way. Even if as the minutes passed, we missed opportunities and we could have started to doubt. We didn’t give up and we have boys who are progressing like Jebryl Sahraoui who was monstrous today. It’s a real satisfaction with the content, the points and winning the derby which always has that special taste, because it’s the most important match of the season, the derby at home.”
