Nicolas Seube (Caen): “I will never give up”

Stade Malherbe will not spend the holidays in a very good position. This Monday, December 16, at the end of the 16th day of Ligue 2, the Norman club lost to Dunkirk (1-3), sensation of the season. A ninth setback since the start of the exercise, which consolidates Nicolas Seube's team in sixteenth place in the championship, i.e. the play-off place, tied on points with the first relegated Ajaccio (15 pts). A disappointing position and far from expectations.

Ligue 2: the ranking

Seube calls for “collective awareness”

After the final whistle at the Marcel-Tribut stadium, Caen coach Nicolas Seube reacted with bitterness to this new disillusionment. If he expected to come up against a Dunkirk team that was “in shape” and “capable of playing”, the Normandy coach regrets that his players have not played “to 100%” of their abilities. “We didn’t have the weapons to exist,” the technician also admitted to France Bleu Normandie. Faced with numerous injuries in his squad, Nicolas Seube calls for “a collective awareness of what players must undertake on a football field. And when we do not have the technical weapons, we must find other means to exist and pose difficulties to the adversary,” he demanded.

He, in any case, wants to be aware of finding himself today in an ejection seat. But the former defender assures him: “I will never give up until the last second of my mandate.” And “the important thing is that this club has better days and a better future with football that suits us”, added Nicolas Seube, before closing the year 2024 with a trip to Guingamp (L2) this Sunday 22 December (5:30 p.m.) as part of the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France.
