Coming out of the 3-7 setback at home against Rouen (2), the co-leader of the championship, Jan Soldan, the coach of Amnéville, remains rather confident. “I take a lot of positive things from this match, including the good reaction we had after the first ten difficult minutes,” he said. Led 0-2, the Reds Dogs were able to get back into the game by equalizing. Secondly, they were down to 3-4 and were very close to rebalancing the game. “We then deconcentrated by commenting on the arbitration. “Jan Soldan is therefore especially critical of the” lack of discipline “of his players, pointing to the 32 minutes of penalties suffered. “You can’t win by being often outnumbered. “Same sound of bells on the side of President Patrick Partouche:” We must be at the top of the ranking of penalties with Valenciennes. With the experience we now have in D2, we fall for young people! “
Beyond this handicap, Quentin Durand (author of a double) and his partners did rather well, despite the absence of Matthieu Joerger. “Physically, I find that we were not unworthy against a very fast young team,” notes the coach. The Amnevillois staff know that the mission will be delicate this Saturday in Valenciennes (6:40 p.m.), third. “Northerners are known to be virulent. We will have to know how to manage this without falling into the trap of provocation, ”insists the manager.
