For Aïmen, it is better to tell the first memories than the last.
Two and a half years later, the derby between OL and ASSE is back. Sunday, the two teams meet at Groupama Stadium for the shock of the 11e day of Ligue 1. The opportunity, for players from the two training centers, to rediscover a very special match. In an interview given to Progress, Aïmen Moueffek spoke of his best derby memories, the first dating from his U12 period.
« Already, at that time, we were instilled in the culture of derby. Before arriving at Saint-Étienne, I knew a little about the importance of this match, but when you are inside and you see the excitement, the pressure and the preparation, you really realize the value of this meeting, explained the native of Vienne, in Isère. Two or three weeks before, we were already hot. »
“A match like any other »
And to tell about his first hot derby with the national U17s: « We won 3-1 in Lyon, it was hot because there were a lot of people there. The bus ride there also had an impact on me. Usually, we put on music and, despite our concentration, we laughed. There, everyone had their headphones on and no one said a word. There wasn't a sound. You felt very well that you were not going to play a match like the others. »
He knows the recipe for Sunday, then.
