Nîmes – FC Sochaux: 1-1
“The only positive point is not having given up and having managed to come back. There has been a lot of emphasis on commitment, aggressiveness and winning duels for several matches. These are mandatory values in National to exist, but we took a demonstration from Nîmes. I always protect the players, but we have played seven matches, it is time to switch to National mode. We have been working for three months and it is clear that it is not enough, so we are going to remove certain comfort zones and make changes.
We can get through it technically, tactically, but not on commitment, aggressiveness… Each duel, it was a red who emerged victorious, that’s not possible. There, the relapse is brutal. The Nîmes killed themselves on the pitch, we need to take a little inspiration from that. Last week, we gained momentum during the match against Orléans, we increased our intensity, and there we couldn’t find it again. We’re good at Sochaux, it’s a magnificent club, but we have to find values, we have to become lions and we have to stop being lion cubs.
Everyone must raise their individual level. We are already seven games played, we have to move forward and stop looking at others. I know the music, I know that we are not at all in the passing times but we have the ranking that we deserve to have. Worried ? No, not at all, but we really need to get out of our comfort zone. And the problem is that it was a big point in my pre-match talk. If people are upset tonight, that’s normal…”
