“After Dunkirk, I really had trouble sleeping”: when Jean-Victor Makengo, the Lorient midfielder, thinks back to his missed opportunities
League 2 (20th day). FC – Clermont Foot 63: 3-2

Three starts in a row, how good does it feel to play again?

I am someone who is mainly focused on football. So when I play, I’m happy. And to have a series of tenures feels good. I hope it lasts. I never stopped working. In football, everything happens very quickly. So, I try to never go too high in moments of joy and never be too low in moments that are a little more complicated. We must continue to gain momentum…

You did quite well at the forefront against Clermont. Is this a symbol of your new confidence?

Yes, I am confident. I feel good. We play well collectively too. It’s a whole. The work put in for a while is paying off.

As in , you created two great chances against Clermont. Why do they still escape you?

I don’t know how to explain it. I worked on it this week. I’m going to work on it again in the coming week… But I remain confident. I create opportunities for myself. We create opportunities. That’s a good sign. Now we have to be efficient in the next matches and finish our actions.

Is this lack of efficiency something you have already gone through in your career?

Among the young people, I was rather precise. And even as a professional, I don’t have a lot of goals but, in general, I was quite precise in front of the cage. This period where I get so many opportunities in such a short time, and where I am so clumsy, it tingles me a little. After Dunkirk, I really had trouble sleeping. We try to question ourselves directly and work to be effective in the next matches. I won’t give up…
