“If we look at the quality of the game, it is perhaps true that this match was not the most successful. But on intelligence, collective discipline, adaptation… It took us 25 minutes to realize that we didn't have any canes. We wanted to do what we usually did but we didn't have the capacity to do it. We were more pragmatic, relying on collective values, playing second ball. We didn't have much time of possession in the first half but we were able to find some in the second. Apart from 25 minutes of floating, I think we adapted well. »
En Avant Guingamp is gaining momentum
“This evening, I found once again that the players played an intelligent match, showed great spirit, as they have since the match against Dunkirk. They are rewarded, we are happy for them and proud. You have to have several strings to your bow, be able to do different things depending on what the game requires. Depending on the state of freshness, it was our 3rd match in 8 days. And the players were remarkable tonight […]. We must appreciate the moment, maintain a lot of humility and tranquility. Don't go overboard when things aren't going well, and stay level-headed when things are better. And then continue to work, because that’s the only thing that keeps us moving forward. »
