Returning to Dijon after three seasons at JL Bourg, Axel Julien knows the importance of these meetings at the Palais des Sports.
“What I remember when I was in Dijon is that when we host the big teams, it’s no longer the same,” mentioned the leader in our columns. “The room will be packed, which we haven’t yet had at the start of the season because we only played during the week. I expect it to be a really big atmosphere. We will try to live up to it and take a victory which would be a bonus. »
“The sensations are increased tenfold when you win a big team at home. In a season, it’s important to win benchmark matches like that. We gain confidence and we also see what we can do,” explained the Dijon vice-captain. “It’s the kind of match where we surpass ourselves. We’ll see if we can do it at that time of the season. To exist in the championship, you have to try to take some of these matches against the big guys at home. »
