Football / Ligue 2. AS Nancy-Lorraine needed this facelift!

The air of the North of France, even icy like Saturday at the Marcel-Tribut stadium, succeeds decidedly well at ASNL in 2021. Its incredible 3-2 victory at the beginning of January in Valenciennes at ten, after having been led 2-0, now has a little sister near Dunkirk (1-2).

On Saturday, Nancy again managed to return a compromised situation, scoring a goal late at half-time with a diminished team. Still undefeated in the league since the club’s takeover on December 31, the new foreign shareholders could not have started better! It is all the more strong as they have changed nothing or almost in the workforce, except the loan of Aurélien Scheidler who was suspended on Saturday.

Avoid an unbreathable end of the championship

After the match at the Marcel-Tribut stadium, Nancy coach Jean-Louis Garcia savored the superb operation that his team had successfully completed: “We lived through difficult times, we never gave up, we always believed in ourselves and Here we are: nine matches without defeat, second consecutive victory after Pau… On the evening of the first match of this unbeaten series, against Chambly (3-3), there was a lot of tension around us, a lot of questions that arose before the Christmas holidays… We were left to continue working and our work pays… ”

Now that the ASNL has taken this long-awaited breath of fresh air at the bottom of the standings (14th with 7 points ahead of 19th), it must do everything not to put its head back under water, with a succession of bad results.

In this championship of a frankly not terrible level, thistle training has the means to avoid an unbreathable end of the championship, it can outright push its invincibility series a little further with the return of the suspended and injured , including Amine Bassi perhaps next Saturday against Grenoble at Picot. More beautiful life with victories …
