Catalan coach Angel Puyané knows that the road to maintaining is still long. His protégés, at a good third of the championship, are in the nails to leave, in the end, two teams behind.
The der of 2024
“Faced with a direct competitor for maintenance (both teams have six points just above the relegation zone), it would be welcome to take at least one point away. We see that this championship is extremely open, there are no small teams. Mérignac is irregular in his performances. We expect a complicated match. Especially since their track, which few of my players know, is difficult to understand.”
Championship and cup
“We won our third match in the championship, it does an extraordinary job for morale! We beat two teams (Nantes and Roubaix) who will fight with us and undoubtedly with two others (Lyon, Mérignac) not to go down. It is crucial to negotiate these bottom-of-the-table duels well. In the cup, we had the obligation to win against Ploneour-Lanvern (N2). We suffered at times. But playing in N1 helped us win.”
A world of difference between the N1 and the N2
“The walk is immense between N1 and N2! We knew that our young squad was made up of excellent players, capable of putting on a good game, but the big difference is in decision-making. You have to be fair in passing and finishing. It is also essential to control the pace of a game so as not to offer counterattacks to our opponents.”
