SCO Angers receives AS Saint-Etienne tomorrow evening in a late match counting for the 19th day of Ligue 1. In the event of victory against the red lantern, the Angevins could go back to the first part of the table and return to the height of the FC Nantes and LOSC (32 points). The Greens are five points behind FC Lorient, the 19th in the championship. On the sidelines of this meeting, Casimir Ninga appeared at a pre-match press conference before giving way to his coach.

ASSE:

“Saint-Étienne is a good memory for me, it reminds me of my hat-trick. When I scored the 1st, then the 2nd, I said to myself, ‘And why not go get the 3rd?'” he first said. As a reminder, the Chadian striker scored a hat-trick a few minutes after coming into play when he had just joined the club in the summer of 2019. The SCO finally won four goals to one.

Paul Bernardoni:

“If I have to score a goal for Paul, I’ll do it. On the pitch, we don’t know each other. After the game, of course, we’ll cuddle. 100% physically.”

His agreement with Baticle:

“If the other players are good, it’s normal that the coach doesn’t call on me. But as soon as I have my chance, I try to take it. With the coach, we get along very well, it he is someone I like. He convinced me to stay at SCO for this second half of the season. It made me feel good to know that he was counting on me. I try to be useful for the team and to do what the coach asks me to do. I’m not looking to score at all costs.” said Casimir Ninga before leaving his place to his coach.

The medical point:

“Yesterday, there were 4 players absent from training, mainly for blows. We are going to test Brahimi and Jimmy Cabot to see if they will be suitable. There is know-how in terms of recovery, both individual and collective, to be ready tomorrow. Absences give responsibilities to other players. Romain Thomas and Mohamed-Ali Cho are still in the re-athleticization phase.”

ASSE:

“Beating these kind of teams requires content. It’s a lot of energy and suffering to go for a result. I don’t expect to see a team adrift. It’s a team that hangs on . I watched the derby, it’s part of my job to see their strengths, their weaknesses. It wasn’t a great game, but there was intensity.” said the Angevin coach this afternoon in comments relayed by the club.
