Beaten for the first time this season against Le Havre last Friday (5-1), the ASSE players will be expected at home against Dijon. After three first successes, including a prestigious one against Paris FC, there is no room for doubt. Laurent Mortel and the Vertes are preparing to play an important match counting for the fifth day of the championship.
The first three successes of the season were able to launch the ASSE season perfectly. After nine points acquired in three days, the Greens have already taken a real step to maintain their position. Last year, the two teams which were relegated (Bordeaux and Lille), only had 13 at the end of the championship. The Greens went for these points with great courage, as evidenced by the victory against Paris FC acquired at the very end of the match. In a tight championship, ASSE showed that it could be effective.
Unfortunately, this was not the case against Le Havre, or the lesson in realism was rather on the side of the locals. After the match lost 5-1, Laurent Mortel tried to find the reasons for “this shipwreck”.
“It’s never pleasant to go 5-1 away, knowing that it’s a team that hadn’t scored a goal. You take a slap. I don’t think we saw ourselves looking too good, I don’t think that’s the problem today. On the other hand, we saw this Le Havre team who knew how to be patient and hurt us during the transition phases. We were sterile in the offensive phases. We didn’t make enough differences.“
Reassure yourself against Dijon
Now is not the time to doubt. The Greens will be able to count on the support of their public at the Salif Keita Stadium. The latter came in large numbers to encourage them, against Paris FC. The common point between these two matches is that they are played a few hours before those of the boys. It is therefore possible to follow the two matches, since the two stadiums are only a few meters apart. The meeting time was set for 3:30 p.m.
The Burgundians have only had success once this season, it was against Stade de Reims.
