Gentlemen of Caen, Christmas has not yet arrived. Admittedly, the heavy atmosphere of recent weeks makes the wait even longer, but there is no need to anticipate the distribution of gifts. Gold Caen, by systematically conceding the opener for five games, is a little too flaunt of his generosity. “These are gifts compared to what we undergo, plague Pascal Dupraz. You have to do it on purpose to take a goal like the one against Grenoble. ”
“We don’t suffer anything! “
The Stade Malherbe Caen coach repeats it: “we do not suffer anything”. Therefore, it is difficult to explain the new defensive permeability other than by “poor communication” (against Châteauroux) and especially jumps in concentration. “Perhaps we are also less lucky than we had at the start of the season,” also advance Pascal Dupraz. Which specifies: “Since Niort, I suffered, for various reasons, a defensive block which changes. The one who had kept his clean sheet six times out of seven, I only found him during the last match against Grenoble. ”
“Show the right images”
Against Troyes, this Saturday December 12, 2020, Caen will not be able to afford the slightest air hole. The leader has one of the most prolific attacks in Ligue 2 and, unsurprisingly, a decidedly offensive style of play. “I’m looking forward to this game against a team that trumps possession. You have to be more focused, have the right collective and tactical response to a game situation, emphasizes Pascal Dupraz. It’s up to me to find the right words and, perhaps more so, the right images. At the start of the week, we showed a lot of defensive actions on which we were not responding as it should to the given situation. “
“It is enough that Alexandre Mendy is more varnished …”
But the Caen coach is careful not to shoot red balls on a defensive sector formerly vaunted. »From Paris FC, Alexandre Mendy just needs to be a little more polished, quick, lucky or spontaneous, choose the qualifier you prefer, so that we have many more points and that he has scored many more goals . There is always this margin of uncertainty that we are trying to fill and which sometimes plunges you into accounting dissatisfaction. ”
