ASSE rebounds against Angers SCO
Mahdi Camara |, present at a press conference before ASSE’s trip to Angers, regretted losing points against the Sang et Or last week. “Against Lens, we tried to play the game, deciphered the midfielder. The figures show that we have dominated. We are not tense. We know where we are. We must all push. in the same direction. We are expecting a big game against Angers. There is no specific points goal for the last ten games. We must try to take as many as possible. We are aware of the standings. We must not be particularly afraid. ” His trainer, Claude Puel, asks the players of AS Saint-Etienne even more efforts: “We must provide collective responses offensively and defensively. We must not lend the flank. Against Lens, it’s annoying to concede three points and we should not do it. When you take a goal from a clearance and a throw-in, these are actions where you should not be naive. You need maximum concentration. “
“The week has been productive I hope it will be until the end of the weekend. Everyone came back with desire, application and good humor. We must not forget that football remains a game. It must be played with pleasure and seriousness, “added the Forézien coach, delighted with the impact of Mahdi Camara. “He’s a huge player for us in terms of mentality and giving of himself.” The midfielder returns the favor: “I have the confidence of the coach and I am very happy to be able to play so much. He advises me and talks to me often. When you go through matches, it’s easier to progress. We played. sometimes to three in the middle, one works daily to improve this chemistry. each one has different qualities. “
The international truce raises questions
But faced with the SCO, ASSE will still not be complete. “We had a lot of small problems. We are waiting for answers from sick players and two others who had muscle problems. Mathieu Debuchy is suspended. Whabi (Khazri) rejoins the group, Romain Hamouma is not available “, compiled Claude Puel, who expressed his concern about the international break which is coming soon.” I hope that our internationals will be able to play their match outside Europe. For the moment this is not the case. Provision of an international would lead to absences in the league. Considering our situation, it is difficult to conceive it. We will see at the beginning of the week where the position of the authorities and the government is. It is not for me to find stratagems to avoid a quarantine. It will be important for the LFP to provide details. “
