Seven matches, six points to take to validate its maintenance. After its rout against Amiens, the VAFC must remobilize to get back on the road towards its priority objective. Traveling to Auxerre, Christophe Delmotte’s men must make people forget their accident by regaining their state of mind of the last month.
A state of mind to find
The VAFC must react. Authors of a poor performance against Amiens, the men of Christophe Delmotte embark on a completely different challenge. Traveling to Auxerre, fourth in the championship, this Saturday, Valenciennes had to quickly forget his frustration to get his head back in the game. ” We resumed on Monday to quickly get back on trackannounces the northern coach. We very quickly insisted on the forms played to evacuate the frustration of the defeat and quickly move on. The match against Amiens was less good, but not catastrophic either, even if there were fewer things in terms of commitment and intensity. We have to consider this match as a mishap, even if everything is not to be thrown away, and we have to be able to bounce back at Auxerre to get back on the right track right away. »
From now on, the rebound is expected for the troop of Christophe Delmotte. In Auxerre, the Hainaut club will face an opponent engaged in the fight for the climb. However, the Valenciennes must find the state of mind and the aggressiveness glimpsed during the series of invincibility of six games before their last match to revive. ” On Amiens, I wanted to continue our series, but we found that something was still missingsays Christophe Delmotte. We have to get back to work, go back to the match against Auxerre being well aware that we did a little less against Amiens. You have to ask yourself why we have done a little. Is it a relaxation due to the 36 points? However, we still have points to look for, a mood of a fighter, of a warrior. It is important to bounce back in Auxerre. »
A satisfactory result in Auxerre would bring the VAFC a little closer to maintenance. In addition, this would allow the Hainaut club to regain confidence for the rest of its final sprint. Today we are still six points short of two wins.observe Christophe Delmotte. Auxerre is a climbing objective, we are a maintenance objective. Whatever, you have to go there with the desire to do something, to bounce back. You have to tell yourself that they are like us, they have two arms and two legs. At some point, we must be able, regardless of the opponent, to win. It is an important challenge to take up, but it must also sublimate us, even more motivate us. »
