Faced with his former formation at Nîmes Olympique, Denis Bouanga (26) had to be content with a short half hour of play. Substitute at kick-off, the Gabonese winger entered in the 62nd minute of play, at the place of Romain Hamouma. Unfortunately for the Greens, number 20 did not bring much, being very imprecise in its transmissions and little inspired in its choices. Despite this new complicated outing, the former Crocos player keeps the confidence of his teammates.
In the mixed zone, Arnaud Nordin (22 years old), another winger of the Greens, author of the equalizer against the Gard club with a beautiful rolled shot of the left foot (2-2, analysis and notes), gave him all his support : “I am very close to Denis. He is someone who is inefficient but it must be emphasized that he does get chances. We need this goal that will do him good. We must not forget that last year it was he who carried us on his back“, indicated number 14 of AS Saint-Etienne.
