'”If my players continue like this, I will die!”

Dunkirk prolongs the sensation! This Monday, November 25, at the end of the 14th day of Ligue 2, the northern club had the opportunity to carry out the big operation of the weekend in the second division. Paris FC and FC Lorient, respectively first and second, held in check previously, the USDL could effectively climb to the level of the Parisian team at the top of the ranking, in the event of a victory against AC Ajaccio. Done! Thanks to a penalty converted by Yacine Bammou (34th, 1-0) and a clear domination over the Corsicans reduced to ten with a quarter of an hour to go (Mattieu Huard, 72nd), Luis Castro's team will spend the next few days at the top with 28 points. To the great pleasure of the Portuguese technician!

“I was very close to death today”

“I am happy with the victory but not with the result”, however tempered the ex-Benfica Espoirs coach in a post-match press conference (see below), who regretted the lack of efficiency of his men. “In my entire life, this is the match that could have ended with the most goals. We have 20 shots and in the 20, there are maybe 10 that are very clear, very close to the goal. The players don't do it on purpose, I'm sure it was just a bad day. It's still good to win,” said Luis Castro, relieved after suffering for 90 minutes. “I told the players that if they continue like this, I will die! I was very close to death today (Monday evening), my body is not made to handle that!” he exclaimed. Before returning to the championship in two weeks with a shock in Metz (09/12), the co-leader of Ligue 2 will plan on the Coupe de France this Saturday, November 30 (2 p.m.) with a trip to Aubervilliers (National 2) as part of the 8th round.
