SM Caen. Stéphane Moulin: “We offered the match to Niort on a set”

Stephane Moulin was logically very disappointed after the defeat of the Malherbe Caen Stadium versus Niort, Friday, January 28, 2022 (0-2). The reactions of the two coaches.

Stéphane Moulin, coach of SM Caen: “I consider it a real injustice to be trailing 1-0 at half-time. They have a shot, a goal, while we have a real grip on the match. We lacked technical accuracy. There is also a forgotten penalty in the 44ᵉ minute. The first half was good. We missed the essential, to score, but we had the opportunity. The second goal sounds the end of the game. Today we gave presents. We fall back into our failings. We didn’t give up but when you have a two-goal lead, it’s easier. We tried just about everything but it didn’t work out. It’s a huge disappointment. The first half was a continuation of what we had done. They were offered the match on a plate. »

Sébastien Desabre, coach of Niort: “We score at good times in the match, it’s pretty good. Afterwards, we were solid. We knew that the team that was going to score first forced the opponent to unbalance. Afterwards, we held on, we were quite solid on defensive set pieces. We had a well-controlled weak time in the first half. In the second period, we played quite low with the desire to counter, which happened several times. Their goalie leaves them in the game because we have two 3-0 situations. We knew we had to score first to force their pistons to play a little higher. »

Ibrahim Cissoko, double scorer for Niort: “We came up with a game plan, we stuck to it and it worked. We wanted to wait for them and attack them, it was quite successful in the first half. We managed to counter them and then to resist. »
