We left him on Sunday with quite a scare, but Franck Haise reassured everyone yesterday at a press conference. Victim of violent headaches, he had to be taken to hospital after the victory against Strasbourg (2-1). The tests fortunately ruled out the fear of a neurological problem. “I'm doing well. I took exams Sunday evening and yesterday (mardi) Again. It showed that I had high blood pressure. (hereditary). The treatment has been ongoing since today and it is getting better.”he smiles.
The Nice coach has not received any contraindication to the practice of his profession, the difficulties of which we never mention enough, and he will therefore be on the bench this evening. “I will experience the match as usual. Of course if we had scored the third goal earlier against Strasbourg, maybe I wouldn't have had this intense pain in my head! But if I am in front of you and with my group, it is because I am 100% too. Otherwise, we would have made other choices. I will live it with them, intensely when it is necessary to be intense and calm when it is necessary to be calm”he adds. If the technician is 100%, we cannot say the same thing about his group, still amputated of numerous elements before challenging the Glasgow Rangers of the former Monegasque Philippe Clement, a coach he said he was happy to find.
To the absences of suspended Moïse Bombito and Sofiane Diop, as well as those of Jonathan Clauss and Ali Abdi (in the rehabilitation phase), were added the almost recorded withdrawals of Jérémie Boga (muscle alert) and Dante (knee discomfort).
Place for youth
Absent against Strasbourg, Youssouf Ndayishimiye and Mohamed Abdelmonem trained yesterday and their participation in the match will depend on their latest sensations this morning.
With “13-14 professional players” only expected in the group which will be communicated today, Franck Haise will have very little latitude in his choices and little room for anticipation in view of the trip to Lyon on Sunday. “Chances are you'll see a number of young Elite or U19 players in the group. Some might have to start the match or return.”the coach has already warned.
Those who have this chance will have to play their card to the fullest. Some of their elders have a lot to make up for, after having disappointed too much against Ferencvaros (1-0) or Twente (2-2).
Haise doesn't expect them to be vengeful – “I don't think this feeling is very good in terms of performance” – more “that with their qualities and their shortcomings, because we all have them, they give their best to represent our club well.” The latter, strong in the championship (undefeated for 8 matches), is aware that he is missing out on his European adventure (31e of the Europa League, two points behind 24e qualifying place for the play-offs), or even that he never really started it.
A result other than a first victory this evening would not yet be completely crippling for the Aiglons, but they would find themselves with their backs against the wall and in great difficulty. “This is not the last chance match, appuie Marcin Bulka. But it can change a lot of things for the future.”.
In one direction, as in the other.
