🎙 SD: “We have a goal of 10th place, it would be good to stay as long as possible in the top 10 of the championship. »
— Chamois Niortais FC (@ChamoisNiortais) November 19, 2021
« Dylan Louiserre has had a quadriceps problem since the game against Nancy and won’t make the trip to Bastia because we don’t want to take any risks. All the players are available but in different states of form, for Michel and Bentil in particular. Technically and in collective control we are as strong as Bastia. We have this strength to be able to transit offensively very quickly. It is an asset that we have. We field 11 or 12 players under the age of 23 in each match. We must give them time to find consistency in what they do in this difficult championship that is Ligue 2. We have a target of 10th place, it would be good to stay as long as possible in the top 10 of the championship. “In addition, the coach announced that a friendly match against Châteauroux (N1) would be played during the next weekend reserved for the 8th round of the Cup.
