«Before training, the president came to talk to us », Explains coach Benoît Tavenot. “For my part, I spoke about my experience at the club. So what can we do? Exist ! Exist sportingly. Have a big season, a big match against Nancy. Exist to move the club forward. You have to cope, be competitive and move forward. All this should move us forward. You have to win matches».
L’AS Nancy Lorraine ?
« It is a solid team which dominates the National championship, which is on a positive dynamic. The team plays well and has offensive qualities, it is a solid team ».
As in the Cup, anything can happen, what will be the keys to the match?
« We will have to put in a lot of intensity, because it is stronger in Ligue 2 than in National. The objective is to pass this round. We mainly focused on ourselves. This time I did fewer video sessions with the players. The stadium will be empty. Behind closed doors is not professional football, because an element is missing ».
The attack still a little timid?
« Our attackers must all be efficient at the same time and this is not the case currently. I must emphasize that we are still aiming for reinforcements in this sector. »
For this meeting which will kick off at 7:30 p.m. (not broadcast by FFF TV, a solution is being sought by the two clubs!) the Corsican coach will have to do without the services of Janneh, Roncaglia and Oulaï who are suspended, and Vincent and Guevara, injured. Furthermore, the staff has decided to rest goalkeeper Johny Placide, who has been in high demand in recent matches.
