The coach of the reserve in R1 looks back on the short defeat conceded to AS Monaco (3-2) which is more hopeful than worrying because the Azur et Or have played ten against eleven for a long time.
What to remember from this match in Monaco?
In the positive our beautiful reaction in 2e period because we were down 3-0 and reduced to ten following the severe expulsion of Driss Ouasfane. We came back to 3-2 thanks to two penalties from Florina and Bouzidi. And the latter could even have equalized in the dying minutes. Like what we were not far from a small feat.
Why a timid first period?
Because our team is young and lacks collective experience. Already at the 1time day in Courthezon we were led to the score before reacting well and winning 3-2. It is imperative to better enter the matches to avoid chasing the score and giving confidence to the opponent.
Individual satisfactions?
Yes a lot. First of all, Merhez Belkechine who is a real Swiss army knife. He started in defensive midfield before retreating to central defense with the same gusto. And he can even play on offense. This is to say if he can do everything. He is an intelligent player who adapts quickly. Cissé in defense was interesting just like Florina or Bouzidi in front. Frankly, I am optimistic for the future.
