After its home victory against Montpellier (4-2), this Sunday, for the 7th day of Ligue 1, Stade de Reims is fourth in Ligue 1, with 14 points, the same total as Olympique de Marseille, third.
For coach Luka Elsner, “the contract is fulfilled” on the offensive level but he is already planning the trip to Auxerre on October 20. Passerby and scorer, striker Oumar Diakité holds back “a deserved victory” and a ranking “positive and flattering”without igniting.
Luka Elsner (Stade de Reims coach): “Happy with the performance”
“I’m happy that we have continuity in our offensive capabilities. We scored four goals so the contract is fulfilled on that side. We know that we have had more feverish sequences, we will see where they come from and how we can improve them. We are still happy with the performance. Now, are we able to erase and get back to the table as soon as the opportunity arises, in Auxerre. This must be our common thread. We did something very good but we are no longer counting on that for the future. We will have to find energy and objectives again.”
Oumar Diakité: “We have three points, we are good!”
“It’s a deserved victory. In the first half, we led the score, but I think it was a little insufficient in terms of intensity. At halftime, we tried to see what was wrong, to remobilize ourselves, to come back stronger and be more efficient. I think that’s what we did. We have three points, we are good! We’re not putting pressure on ourselves, it’s positive and flattering to have the same number of points as Marseille, but we’re not yet on the 10th day so there’s still a lot to do.”
