Next Sunday, in the cauldron of Geoffroy-Guichard, ASSE will welcome FC Nantes for a very important match with a view to maintaining their position. The Kombouaré players are already ready.
Frequent when we talk about the ASSE season to mention FC Nantes. And for good reason, the Stéphanois players have only managed to take a single point on opposing soil for several months and it was precisely on the Beaujoire field with a draw, 2-2. Since then, the two teams have had an almost similar journey with more defeats than victories and it will be imperative, on Sunday (3 p.m.), for Canaris and Verts not to give in with a view to remaining in Ligue 1.
Obviously, Antoine Kombouaré's players understood this well. Particularly if we rely on the words of midfielder Johann Lepenant, given to the regional daily, Ouest-France. The people of Nantes, and this is confirmed on the pitch with good recent results obtained against LOSC and AS Monaco, would no longer be quite the same.
“Give everything on the pitch”
“We have changed in terms of our mentality. We put ourselves in warrior mode and I think that's what will earn us points against all the teams. In every match, we suffer but we must be able to give everything on the pitch, until the end. And we know we will get there together. The turning point came at the Parc des Princes, where we were able to show great solidarity to snatch a point. We said to ourselves that we didn't want to make up the numbers. We wanted to be a real team, to fight for each other. We got the hang of it from the staff and management. Even in training, you feel a difference, there is more commitment. »
The people of Stéphane have been warned.
