L’ AXISreceives the Nîmes Olympique this Sunday (3 p.m.). A few hours before this crucial match for the two poorly classified clubs, a specialized technician gave some tips to Denis Bouanga.
ASSE: Instructions from an expert in Bouanga to be decisive
ASSE got off to a good start to the season before starting to sink on day 4. The Greens even flirted with the red zone following seven consecutive defeats. Having chained 3 draws and a victory in the last 4 games, AS Saint-Étienne garnered 6 precious points which allowed them to move up to 14th place. Collectively, a spring seems broken within Claude Puel’s team. Individually Denis Bouanga is experiencing a slump. ASSE top scorer last season, he is not decisive during the current exercise and gives the impression to Saint-Etienne supporters to be at an impasse. However, the latter are counting on the Gabonese to pull the Greens up.
Before Nîmes Olympique comes to Geoffroy-Guichard, Denis Troch, ex-coach expert in training, management and mental preparation, believes he knows how to help Denis Bouanga to regain his great form. “Already that the player realizes that he does not do it on purpose. This is an unwanted situation. It’s already reassuring, ”he noted with a positive entry, in Progress. “It is not by pointing at him that we will help him. Maybe this bad pass is related to personal things, interference, even minimal, which prevent him from getting the best of his potential, ”explained the specialist, before showing the way to the player in the hard. “We know that the hardest part in football is to score. It is a gesture that must come naturally, that must be intuitive and surprising. As soon as a scorer starts to think, he feels guilty and it becomes problematic, ”explained Denis Troch. To “bounce back” or be decisive against his former club Sunday afternoon, Denis Bouanga “must build on his previous successes”, according to the technician. The latter also has no doubts about the qualities of No. 20 of ASSE, because he underlines: “if opportunities are created, it is proof that everything is not to throw away “.
Denis Bouanga blocked at 2 goals for 3 months
Denis Bouanga was recruited by AS Saint-Étienne in Nîmes in July 2019, for an amount of € 4.5 million. Last season (his first in Forez), he scored 10 goals for 3 assists, in 26 games played. This 2020-2021 financial year, his counter has been stuck at 2 goals since the 3rd ASSE match in Ligue 1, on September 17, 2020, during the victory over OM at the Vélodrome (2-0). Nevertheless, the native of Le Mans delivered an assist to Arnaud Nordin, during the victory of ASSE in Bordeaux (2-1).
