While they remained in three draws, Frédéric Dugand’s players once again shared the points (1-1) in Nîmes this Sunday afternoon. However, the young Greens are not lacking the desire to consolidate their place as leaders in this championship. On an extremely difficult synthetic pitch, they created the best chances of the match, notably through Medhy Lutin Zidee whose shot found the post or even through Paul Eymard.
After the break, the locals opened the scoring with a long ball poorly negotiated by the Greens. It’s a cold shower! (Nîmes 1-0 ASSE) In the process, the entry into play of Helmi Ben Tiba energizes the Saint-Etienne offensive sector. Farès Ben Rahem serves Helmi Ben Tiba who hits hard on the goalkeeper who pushes back then Paul Eymard is present in the area and sends the leather under the bar (Nîmes 1-1 ASSE).
Just after, a post and a bar come to save the locals and increase the frustration of the Greens who end the match dominating. Unfortunately, Frédéric Dugand’s protégés came back too far to hope to bring victory back to Forez and had to settle for a draw (1-1).
We cannot take away from the players the energy they put into the match, however we feel a certain excitement in our game. For the moment, what we are doing is not sufficient in terms of technical mastery, in game intentions. We react rather than act. We need to regain confidence and play forward and be able to swing the result in our favor. The players don’t cheat, they run a lot but there is a lack of madness and creativity that we had at the start of the season. We also have to secure our game, try not to concede goals because it’s all well and good to score them… But we have to resolve the defensive problems, analyzed Frédéric Dugand after the match.
