THE GOTHICS – Anthony Mortas: “What bothers me most is the involvement of the players”


The Gothics have suffered a second defeat in two games and if Anthony Mortas is not alarmist, there are things to revise to avoid repeating such a poor performance.

This is the paradox when you try to read this setback against Mulhouse: the third most prolific of Amiens, closed in a draw, is also the one where he has been through the most. Antonio Morta say it bluntly, “We are not taking the game in the right direction, we are shy. Mulhouse dominates us. “ So, if the match was far from over, the Amiens coach clearly designates the start of the game as responsible for the difficult evening lived by his family: “We really have to apply ourselves at the start of the matches because it leads to a whole dynamic. “

If this poses so many problems, it is also why “We run after the score. “ Remembering that the Mulhousien were the first to drive 0-1 (3’19) then 1-2 (11’28). OR, “When we chase the score, we always look at the clock, we start doing it psychotherapist. “ It is true that the renewed competitiveness of its players coincides, first of all, with the start of the second period, when the two teams battle it out. And then, Amiens had to run after the score again after the 2-3 recorded at the end of the third (38’45). In total, it is therefore 28’46 that the Goths will have passed behind the sign during the game, almost halfway through the game.

However, this time, despite the delay in scoring, “Let’s go back to the third third with good intentionsbut it’s too late “ believes Anthony Mortas. Too late, even because the Picards have it “Very pushed” and he knew how to be dangerous, ” on me opportunities we usually putbut tonight was not going well “ launches a bit fatalistic. “There are regrets because we have possibilities that we will not necessarily be able to realize” so it abounds Nicolas Leclerc. In particular several power games who have not been converted. The Amiens coach admits it, aiming in particular “a 5 against 3 where we were not dangerous at all” but it sweeps away the fact that you have to find what was missing: “Powerplay isn’t what worries me the most. These are things that will have to be repeated, reworked. “

“We have to win the game tonight, it’s a bit frustrating. “ It is with these words that Nicolas Leclerc sums up his feelings about his family’s defeat against Mulhouse.

Indeed, what bothers the coach of the Gothic the most is the attitude of his players: “What worries me most is the involvement of the players. It’s the way it is creepy. “ A criticism that Nicolas Leclerc appropriates: “We wanted to be tough, strong in duels, maybe we didn’t show that face. We may not have them it didn’t make it difficult enough. “ But if he could also keep playing “the aggression of putting it to the bottom”the defender indicates something else problems, “defensively, on raises, there are many things we need to work on. “

Despite these criticisms, Anthony Mortas also wants to be protective of his players by remembering him“there is a little bit of pressure that is put on the players, it is up to us to help them remove this pressure that is not there: there are 44 games. Need keep calm. “ Especially since despite a counter that does not turn “we are not far” in both matches (3-2 also in Bordeaux). Nicolas Leclerc says nothing else. Of course, “We always hope for the best at the beginning of the season, but there is not necessarily to panic. “ It is also the best way to approach Friday’s match against Cergy to finally launch his championship.
