Author of a double, including a magnificent goal outside the area, but also of a very good decisive pass for Cheikh Sabaly and a clean sheet as captain, the match of Matthew Howl against Martigues was applauded by all during this 6th day of Ligue 2 ! The defender of FC Metzwho was named best player of this Tuesday, September 24 by our colleagues at beIN Sports, spoke after this remarkable success of the Grenats with a score of six goals to zero against a Martigues team which seemed overwhelmed in all areas.

“A good score, a clean sheet, which is our first of the season… It’s a great evening. It was important not to stop playing. We were able to lead quite quickly, we had to keep up the pace, respect our opponent. We said to ourselves at half-time that if we could score 4, 5 or 6, we wouldn’t hesitate to do so. It paid off. Our attackers were also able to gain confidence in this match. Our game is gradually coming together, the automatisms are getting better and better, these are good things. […]. We have a game that is starting to be well-oiled now, we know how to alternate the game patterns. We are slowly assimilating what the coach is putting in place and we are progressing with each match. Let’s hope it continues like this. If we can impose our game and win our matches as widely as possible – but especially win them, it’s a good thing.
“I didn’t know we were leaders, I hadn’t looked yet… Now, we have to continue on this path, string together victories too. Do good things away from home, starting this Saturday in Troyes, as we have been able to do for the last few days. We have to start a series of victories now.”
