Victim of a migraine and a spike in tension on Sunday after the victory against Strasbourg, Franck Haise found his smile and the microphones again this Wednesday to look forward to this crucial match against Glasgow. “I’m better, thank you. We feared a neurological problem, which is why I went to the Emergency Room. Treatment is ongoing and I am fine today. I will experience the match as usual. If we had scored the third goal faster maybe I wouldn’t have had this pain in my head! What I experienced had never happened to me. All coaches hate defeat. Afterwards we each experience it in our own way, it’s a profession of passion and we sometimes have difficulty removing the disappointment from our brain.“Franck Haise is doing better but risks seeing the headaches return when choosing his XI.”Dante and Jérémie Boga were unable to train on Tuesday. I hope to get one or two players back. Youssouf and Abdelmonem must train together today.” Uncertainties which add to the packages of Clauss, Abdi, Sanson, Moffi, Mendy and while Diop and Bombito are suspended.
Place for young people!
Absences which disrupt this start of the season and which forced Franck Haise to review his system on Sunday against Strasbourg with this four-man defense which did not prevent the Gym from again conceding the first goal, as in six of the last seven meetings. “Our last match against Strasbourg, we changed a lot of things at the start and I think we’re off to a good start. Strasbourg scores on its first shot. I don’t have a rational explanation for the fact that we conceded the first goal. But on the other hand I am satisfied with the character displayed and the quality of the team to come back and obtain results.”
“Maybe tomorrow we will only have thirteen or fourteen professional players on the scoresheet. So there is a chance that we will see in the youth group of the elite group or the U19 group. Maybe some will even have to start. Of course I would like to have my usual 20 or 22 players in the squad to prepare for all the matches and make choices to be efficient. It is also the reality that it offers opportunities to those who. are less regulars. I am confident in my team. I also know that it is not easy to perform so well. Sometimes we are good, other times we make mistakes, but the important thing is to represent our team well. club”.
“Not the last chance match”
With only two points taken out of twelve possible, the Gym no longer has the right to make mistakes in trying to grab this Top 24 which qualifies for the play-offs. “There are four games left to play, twelve points to take. We don’t need twelve points to qualify. I don’t need to put that pressure on to win matches.“An observation shared by goalkeeper Marcin Bulka.”This is not the last chance match. Of course it’s a very important match, of course the victory would count more than at the start.”
“I want to save matches”
The Pole does not display the same power in goal this season even if this impression is qualified by the figures which remain positive concerning the defensive performances of the Aiglons. “My start to the season is pretty good. Of course there are changes in defense compared to last year. In the league we remain one of the best defenses in the league. I am demanding and I want to do even better in Europe. I want to save the matches, I hope tomorrow (Thursday). Regarding my contract, I have a year and a half left. I remain involved as before. I remain focused on the field, that is not the subject today.“
