The number 19 of the Greens then evoked the bad passage crossed by the club ligérien, which has not won since four meetings (1 draw, 3 defeats): “At the start of the season, we had a lot of juice. We can no longer afford to press high on all matches, we could see it against Rennes for example. Now, we try to gauge ourselves according to the opponent. We have to redouble our efforts because we are on a bad series“, estimated the player loaned by Braga, convinced that his team will quickly return to success:”It happens to fall into negative spirals, the key is not to lower your head. We knew we were going to go through this. There is always the same atmosphere. The team is always enthusiastic. We will continue to fight and we want to fight together. It takes a little more control, be harder“.
