On a very bad series, Le Havre is extremely permeable and this displeases the trainer Paul LeGuen. The record is simple, eight goals conceded in the last two games, for a defense that was almost impenetrable before January 1st. Even if the HAC is not in danger (8th, 35 points in League 2), it must be admitted that this assessment, which distances the Normans from the play-off places, is relatively worrying.

« I do not at all put the two defeats on the same level. I was very angry with Bastia, I was disappointed in Toulouse. At the start of the match, the intentions were there, it was the fact of having conceded this goal which precipitated things afterwards. But the goal does not happen by chance either. On set pieces we do not have the same attitudes as before. It’s symptomatic of a less good state of mind, a commitment that is less permanent in these phases. »
« This defensive solidity over time was achieved thanks to the quality of the players but also to their irreproachable state of mind.. As soon as you stray from the essential fundamentals, you are punished and sanctioned. We do things less well, we commit less, we are less concentrated. We must very quickly return to what was our strength, otherwise things will get out of hand. You have to be extremely vigilant. It’s my job, but we also need the help of the players. Things don’t happen by chance. We do not take four goals against Bastia and then against Toulouse by chance. We must make a lucid and uncompromising observation. We got out of what we were doing. »
“My duty is to try to find solutions and help the players. I got angry sometimesbut we cannot have successive angers, sometimes the evil is elsewhere and we must find solutions. »
