Niort – Rui Almeida: “The only way to confirm things in football is through victories”

After the victory in the last moments against Dijon in Liga 2it will be very interesting to follow the behavior and the result of Niort during this weekend French Cup. The chamois move on the lawn of Mérignac-Arlac (R1) to try to capitalize on the newfound confidence and reassure himself by playing a good game. But the coach Rui Almeida warns his family: this meeting will not be easy, far from it.

The only way to confirm things in football is to win. Win, win, win. We can do things very well, if we don’t win it is useless. I think you have to work hard to get into the game well and you have to confirm what you do during the week. (Against Merignac) you have to respect the opponent, respect the game and have one thing in mind: win, no matter how, and move on to the next.

“I won a cup in Egypt (as deputy, ed.), Kévin Rocheteau was in the final… The feeling of being there or winning a final is really nice. For both coaches and players. During the week and the exercises I was a little more demanding than what I usually ask. And ask something more than what gamers are used to. In a week after a win, we too want to evolve in our work. We have to respect our opponent and the best way to do this is to stay in the game, play a normal game, with the volume of play to have opportunities to score and enough efficiency to score goals. […]. We can’t have an excuse for this game. We go in, we adapt, we play 11 against 11, it is the same ground for both teams. It will be a difficult match, that’s for sure. At what point? It will depend on us! “
