The match scenario
We didn't produce a better copy than 15 days ago, we agree. We said that the step was high, with the facts of the game, it became even higher. We fall into the trap of opposing provocations and find ourselves playing 70 minutes with ten players… against OM. We gave them more strength with this numerical superiority. We knew we were going to have two or three balls in the area and we had to be very efficient to achieve the feat. We had these balls, we had to do 100%. Mathieu Cafaro's strike and Cheikh Fall's situation leave us with regrets. We often talk about the third goal in a match. This 2-1 could have given another scenario.
Ibrahim Sissoko's expulsion
Ibrahim Sissoko apologized. He understood the magnitude of his action and his error. He fell into the trap. It's done, it's done. We didn't dwell on the subject.
Changes and absences
Benjamin Bouchouari had a very good half of the season. He found his starting place, he had some good matches. Today his back was bothering him. He asked for change. Yesterday afternoon's session did not go well for Pierre Cornud who has pain in his Achilles tendon. Florian Tardieu had a little alert on his hip. He was not 100% for the meeting.
A negative result to close 2024
The players are aware of the current difficulty. They wanted to. But between “want” and “can” it takes time and work. We must continue to “want” so that ASSE “can” win matches in the future.
