After the second consecutive victory from the Stade Malherbe Caen on Saturday November 2, 2024 (3-0 against Bastia), Nicolas Seube was measured. If the balance sheet is very positive with a return of the Caennais five points from fifth placethe reality on the ground could have been quite different.

Nicolas Seube: “We deserve to be behind after 15 minutes”

“We will remain measured, but we are happy with these two victories in four days. This is a positive situation from an accounting perspective. The second thing is that we managed to beat an opponent who had barely lost yet. But on the technical side, on assistance to the wearer, we still have work to do. Today, there is still an incredible success. We deserve to be down after 15 minutes. There were other matches where we were better, but we conceded, and there we didn't.

It was difficult to plan for the transition. We didn't control the verticality of the game enough, we too often gave the ball backwards. But obviously, when we have the score in our favor at half-time, it builds confidence. Obviously the team is also calmer at 2-0. After a while, you have to understand that there is a certain area where you have to be simple, effective. We sometimes have a tendency to overdo it, to not be simplistic enough. There were several situations where we lost possession of the ball and it could have been dangerous.

I am very happy for the man Alex Mendy is. We should not minimize what he is achieving. He carried Malherbe for four years on goal-scoring ability. I also saw him defend a lot at 2-0. It satisfies me in the state of mind I want to see. There is self-sacrifice, I am happy that it is highlighted. If Alex had played for Bastia today, I sincerely think we would have lost.

Let's say that the frustration with the results is perhaps a little evacuated. I hope the players will continue to gain confidence. They are the actors. I tend to believe that we are sometimes inhibited. Some players are not yet at their 100%. I hope that this series of victories will allow us to offer a better game, to be more enterprising. Me, I like football when it runs, when it tries things. We will have a calmer climate this week to work in, but in this championship, a micro series can change everything. In the good and the bad. We are two games away from fifth place, even without having done everything well. »
