Bouchouari scorer? Dall'Oglio not surprised

Holder for the fourth consecutive time in Ligue 1, Benjamin Bouchouari scored his first goal of the season in the league yesterday on Geoffroy-Guichard's pitch against Montpellier (1-0). With a strike from the edge of the area, he opened the scoring for the Greens after returning from the locker room, a sufficient advantage for the Stéphanois to take the three points.

If his coach did not make him finish the match after a yellow card and an altercation with an MHSC player, he appreciated his young midfielder's match and appreciates the development he is giving to his game, especially collectively, with a Benjamin Bouchouari more involved in defensive work and recovery: “Bouchouari? He has reached a milestone since he changed his mindset, he knows he has to work, that won't stop him from scoring, we insist with him on the ability he has to score because he is often in the right areas, we worked a lot with our midfielders, we made them work in front of goal, they find themselves in areas 18/20 meters away, I am not sure that he does not would not have made a detour or feinted before, there, he hit I took him out because he had a yellow.”

The midfielder spoke to the broadcaster about his performance: “This victory feels good. It's a match that we had to win, it was three important points. We are all happy to have won this match. I am of course happy to score, especially at home in front of our supporters. The most important thing is to have won, I hope to move forward with the whole team and win the most points this season. It's a complicated match on our part but we are happy with the most important result. is to take the three points.

I worked a lot in training with the coach, I'm happy that it's paying off. These are three important points, we can move forward.”

Louis Mouton also mentioned his teammate at our microphone in the mixed zone: “I'm super happy for him, he deserves it, he's working hard at the moment. Defensively we're pretty close to each other so it's pretty good. Offensively we still have progress to make, we must help the team even more in retaining the ball. Today we had to be there defensively, run for the team, close the spaces especially for Savanier, that's what was done so that's the main thing. (…) Benjamin (Bouchouari), I didn't know him last season since I wasn't there but from what I see this year, he is progressing. He's having good matches, I'm happy for him. This goal somewhat rewards this difficult start to the season for him and the fact that he is coming back well. I'm happy for him and if he can give us two, three or four in the next matches, it's with pleasure!“
