With two 1-0 victories against Metz and Martigues, the Red Star climbed out of the relegation zone and put their defensive worries aside. This Friday, the Audonian club will receive another direct competitor for maintenance Ligue 2Troyes. At a press conference, coach Grégory Poirier explained the adjustments made in recent weeks, hoping to have found the right balance.

« The two victories do us a lot of good. There is a lot more sense of pleasure after victories and that is a factor in performance. On the defensive aspect, we were more efficient, it starts from a mental notion. In the management of the match, in the construction of his two clean sheets, we put more mental energy. There are certain elements of prevention, being more concentrated when you have the ball, having preventive positions that we were able to put in place against Martigues. Against Metz, we played low because the opponent's analysis made me lean towards this game plan. When you lose, it's normal to try things, to look for other solutions. We won with two different systems in the last matches. When we win we hope to have continuity. »
On ESTAC: “ TRoyes is a team that has a lot of quality, which is perhaps programmed to be higher in the rankings. Don't be afraid and go get things. In Bauer, with the energy of the public, you have to try to bring down the opponents. We know that it is a weapon, even more so with a maintenance objective. »
