Aware that the margin was tiny against Grenoble (0-2), Omar Daf was relieved to finally end Amiens SC's negative streakparticularly away, this Saturday on the occasion of the 15th day of Ligue 2. Interview.
Omar Daf, we imagine that you are enjoying this great victory for Amiens SC…
We enjoy it because it's not often that we win away from home. Victories therefore have a special flavor. Above all, I congratulate the players because we were patient and serious, against an opponent who can be very dangerous. We contained them well in the first half. We built our success and it’s a deserved victory.
With good intentions from the start of the match, unlike the last outings…
It was important. The duels had to be won. We know we have qualities, but in this kind of match we have to be present. We did it well. We also had to complete our actions. Nordine (Kandil) made the right decision on his occasion, which allows us to take control of the meeting and be able to validate the good performance.
Now, we must display this same state of mind, at home or away.
This goal reflects a team that must let go….
We are still working in this direction. We still have some away matches that we have in our throats. We did everything to ensure that things went in the right direction in this match. We have to build on this kind of performance. We knew how to maneuver to find the key. Now, we must display this same state of mind, at home or away.
With this success factor when Grenoble does not score and this realism in the second half…
Exactly. We know that we have to be effective on both surfaces. There was not a big difference between the two teams, so we know that it is played in the zones of truth. They have opportunities, they have not materialized. When we had the opportunity to do it, we did it. I liked the character and rigor put into this meeting. There was a lot of serenity.
Does this victory relieve you in the context of the week, with the departure of Mamadou Fofana which could have disrupted the team?
Relieved, no. This has been my job for several years, this is not the first time that I have been faced with this type of situation. I look ahead, without performing magic and miracles. We are going to make the boys work to produce a clean copy for each match. With our means, we came to get a good result in Grenoble. There will be quiet periods, others more troubled and eventful. You will have to remain calm during these phases. The executives who are in the group will play an important role.
