« It was necessary to give an identity to this club and this team. You couldn’t erase what had happened over the last three or four years in just three months. Hugo Vandermersch has returned from injury at a good level. Jessy Deminguet is taking off but I’m not surprised, he had hinted at potential and he is expressing it today. A boy like Zady Sery (note, victim of a double sprain against Bastia), he is someone who has gold in his feet. You have to give him the chance to express himself and accept the idea that he is not going to succeed in everything. When I arrived, I had been told of the qualities of Johann Lepenant. I actually saw a good player but not up to what I had been told. Today, it has taken on a real dimension. Alex Mendy, who was whistled all the time, is now the team’s top scorer with 14 goals. Nuno Da Costa had never scored so many goals in a season. »
In addition, Stéphane Moulin mentioned the situation of Sullivan Péan (22), goalkeeper of the SMC reserve, very popular with supporters since his interim conclusion at the end of last season, during the maintenance operation: “ I have not yet raised this case with the guards. They will know things before the press. It’s a possibility. I have not decide yet. I am still very surprised by this endless debate. Not to question Sullivan’s value, but some people live with the past. When I arrived here, I wanted to form my own opinion. Being number 1 goalkeeper with the goal of going up is not the same as being thrown into the deep end when you are number 2 and the club has nothing left to lose. »
