It was he who equalized, Friday December 13, at the Stadium against ASSE. Toulouse FC winger Shavy Babicka appeared all smiles in the mixed zone after the victory (2-1). A success which before this Saturday's matches places Téfécé in the Top 8 of L1. Tit for tat.
Shavy, you score an important goal in more than one way…
Indeed, it was the last match of the year at the Stadium. And I couldn't have imagined a better ending… for me and for us. This does us a lot of good, because now we can start 2025 even stronger. Tonight’s scenario is an immense joy – both on a collective and personal level. We leave happy, yes.
Did you doubt when Saint-Étienne opened the scoring on its only opportunity (0-1, 53rd)?
We don't doubt, we don't doubt… The coach said it before the match: what makes the difference is our state of mind. When we conceded the goal, we didn't give up. We told ourselves that we had enough time left and that we were going to have to give everything until the end. That's what we did.

By the way, a headed goal (1-1, 55th) is rare for you, right?
(smile) Let's just say it doesn't happen often. But you noticed: Zakaria (Aboukhlal) also scored with a header. Yeah, that's for sure, it's the data (laughs).
This goal, in summary, is a liberation for you?
A big relief. It's been a long time since I scored [15 septembre ; J4, TFC-HAC : 2-1]. And naturally, as an attacker, it gives you a bad feeling… I got into the game fully: the important thing is of course that the team wins and if there's a goal to go with it…

We must not rush, we remain focused on our season; we will give the best of ourselves. Our ambitions are… personal.
Psychologically, switch to the first part of the table before the holidays; It's nice, isn't it?
We leave, as I said, relieved.
