Ligue 2: Benoît Tavenot (SC Bastia) speaks after a match that he experienced like lightning

During a Ligue 2 meeting, Benoît Tavenot, the coach of SC Bastia, shared his feelings after a match which he described as fleeting. Although the final score remained scoreless, Tavenot spoke of his feeling that time had passed at an incredible speed, leaving him feeling rushed and intense.

A meeting marked by monotony

The match between AC Ajaccio and SC Bastia was a meeting where scoring opportunities were rare. Both teams seemed to neutralize each other, with each attack quickly countered by solid defense. In a closed-door context, the atmosphere on the pitch was dull, accentuating the feeling of monotony which dominated the game. Tavenot noted that despite the intensity of a derby, the lack of notable events made the experience somewhat frustrating.

A performance below expectations

Tavenot expressed his disappointment with his team's performance. He acknowledged that the players may have suffered from the playing conditions, but insisted they should have been able to put on a better face. His words, relayed after the final whistle, reflect a desire for continuous improvement, with an eye towards the next meetings, where he hopes that his team will be able to regain creativity and efficiency.

Qualification for the Coupe de France as a goal

Despite the frustration of this scoreless match, Tavenot was able to keep his spirits up. He recalled that the qualification of his team for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France remains a priority objective. This victory during the previous stage against Nancy (2-0) gave some reasons to hope and believe in better days. Tavenot considers it essential to build on these successes to return to a more consistent level of performance in Ligue 2.

Future outlook

The SC Bastia coach concluded by saying that it is essential to learn from every match, even those that we consider disappointing. He promised to analyze the performances of his players in depth in order to best prepare for the next games. With a fighting spirit and renewed determination, Tavenot and his team aspire to return to the path of victory, putting the frustrations behind them.
