After the 2-0 victory against Bastia, Saturday November 2, Le Bihan and Brahimi stopped in the mixed zone.
Mickaël Le Bihan (SM Caen striker): “It’s true that it’s not usual for me to play on the left like that, but as long as I’m on the pitch I’m happy. I liked it because I touched a lot of balloons. A second half a little harder because the break hurt my legs.
(On the center for Mendy?) As a former center forward I know that we love this kind of ball. He loves training, he finishes them very well. When I see him retreating to second, I tell myself that I have to give him a shot. He makes a great move that ends up deep, perfect for the team. His goal did us good, we couldn't back down afterwards.
We suffered a little in the second half and Bilal's goal did us good too, then we were solid defensively. We may have the success we lacked at the start of the season. They also make a post which could have changed the match (13'). Good for us. We were able to score on our few chances. We have to continue like this and keep the confidence.

We were successful also because we made the effort, like in Martigues where it smiled on us in the end. Next week we have a big match in Metz, we will have to be strong and continue to score more points. »
Brahimi: “We have to keep our heads on our shoulders”
Bilal Brahimi (scorer for SM Caen): “It was a big match, I felt a Bastia team going quickly in transitions. It was an open match and we knew how to put in the ingredients to win. It's a great pleasure to take the three points.
(On his goal from a direct free kick) Just before the free kick, Kali (Coulibaly) told me: “aim for the penalty spot, it's a boring trajectory for the goalkeepers, it can be a goal whether it's hit or No”. It worked for me, I'm very happy. I have to apply myself to all my set pieces, because they are goal-scoring situations. The proof.
In Metz, next Saturday, it will be a complicated match against a good team. If we put in the ingredients for tonight and even more, it will be a great battle there. Winning feels good, but you have to keep your head on your shoulders, stay humble and continue working every day.
