Barely qualified for the 6th round of the Coupe de France, the Crocos turned their attention to the next reception of the DFCO, Friday October 20 at the Antonins stadium, on behalf of the 11th day of National.
This week, Frédéric Bompard will not debrief the Coupe de France match quietly won 7-0 on Saturday October 14 at the end of the afternoon against Pavie (R3). He doesn’t have the pictures, anyway. Present in Auch, video analyst Arthur Petit did not film the meeting which the Crocos controlled from start to finish.
The Gersois were courageous, they certainly deserved to score in the last twenty minutes, when Nîmes began to lose a few more balls, but “there was no photo,” admitted Pavia captain Mickaël Eutique . Technically, tactically and physically, the difference in level was too great. We didn’t see the ball and we had difficulty enjoying ourselves.”
Substitutes who scored points
“The five divisions of difference were felt because we put what we needed on the field, we didn’t stop pressing, analyzed Gauthier Laurens, author of two goals including one with a header – “I “I’m rather skilled in this area” – and a decisive pass in front of his family. We played a coherent match from start to finish, without ever letting up. We wanted to build confidence and score points with the coach, the contract is fulfilled.”

The starters who remained in Nîmes, those who aspire to become one and who passed “a test” (Bompard) did not disappoint their coach who “need to see” and who saw that he could count on them. “We all scored points”, dared to believe the smiling Axel Thoumin (2 goals, 1 assist) who underlined: “To go to the end, we have to be a group, everyone must perform well as soon as they come in on the pitch, that everyone gives their all as soon as they have the slightest minute of play.”
Against Dijon, Bompard wants its players to “climb the curtain as soon as they enter the field”
On this level, Frédéric Bompard can have certainties after the big victory in Gers, but he will not dwell on it. His team had barely qualified for the sixth round, the Nîmes coach was already fully focused on the reception of Dijon, Friday at the Antonins. “I really want to win this match,” he explained, having spent six seasons at the DFCO, the sporting director Sébastien Larcier having worked there for seventeen years, as a player and head of recruitment. .
The croc technician will therefore do everything to ensure that his players “climb the curtain as soon as they enter the field on Friday”! He plans to “say two or three words to them about the match every day”.
Learning lessons from the non-match at Marignane
Above all, he will return in video to everything that did not work last Wednesday against Marignane-Gignac (1-1), a team that he found “very average” but that his team did not manage to dominate . He watched the match again, and he confirms it: “He missed everything. In the duels, we were moved, we had the impression that we were bowling and that our opponents were bowling… We were poor technically and offensively, we didn’t weigh, we didn’t create chances. When our two players came out to press high, they weren’t supported enough by their partners and we found ourselves with holes in the middle .”
Supporting images, Frédéric Bompard, who wants to remind us: “We have only lost once since the start of the season, there is no danger in the house”, wants to show the Crocos “all that” , all these “little things that need to be corrected”. His players will be listening. They know that they failed in Provence. “We said things to each other,” assures Gauthier Laurens who evokes “a non-match” but who reassures: “The confidence is still there. And for the two consecutive home matches (Dijon and Epinal, Editor’s note), the objective, it is clear and clear, is to take the six points.”
