OGC Nice: “See what we have in our stomachs in Auxerre” Franck Haise – France Bleu

Not enough to make him lose his good mood. Calm, smiling, Franck Haise presented himself on Friday afternoon for his first pre-match press conference in the OGC Nice coach’s suit. Arriving in the summer to succeed Francesco Farioli, the former RC Lens coach probably didn’t expect to face so many headaches.

“I am very happy to attack the tree. Sometimes, in the season, we have a little slack during the season. But now I’m impatient. Not the easiest time to manage. I see it as an opportunity to be even more united. See what we have in our stomachs.“

For the first time the Gym is without Moffi (knee), Louchet (thigh), Boga (back), Sanson (ankle), Diop (foot), Youssouf (calf) while Lotomba is uncertain and Melvin A hanging poet. “This first write-up is not a headache because this is probably the only time where I don’t have to make a choice. Regarding the principles of play, knowing that we were starting from a very different project, I find that the players have made good progress in six-seven weeks. We are not 100% but we are moving forward.“

Ndombélé ready to start

The coach rightly took these multiple injuries into account. “Youssouf should return to team training next week, but I can’t tell you when he will play again. Lotomba started again this week and should be part of the group. Diop trains alone. Things are going well for him. Ndombélé has completed all stages of preparation. He trains well. He is a good man. He is moving forward. He can start a game. To tell you he has 90 minutes in his legs would be getting a bit ahead of himself.“

As for Bard’s suspension, Haise confirms that Brahimi should be his left piston in Burgundy. “Brahimi has the qualities for this position. We worked on this side this summer. He is one of the competitors on the left.“With Louchet’s injury, the club may need to recruit a new piston to compete with the Bard.What is clear is that we must have material. But that didn’t stop us from working.“

Six Churches in the council of the wise

Dante is very present and looks set to attack his last season on the pitch at almost 41 years of age. “When a player has been at the highest level for over 20 years, it is no coincidence. I had an image of him from the outside and when I saw his first training session, I understood. It always goes out. ” The Brazilian is also part of the coach’s new council of wise men, who had already done this in Lens to convey his messages. “I set up a small group of six players with regular exchanges. The goal is to have as many turns as possible. Dante, Rosario, Bulka, Laborde, Sanson and Boga.“
