Sochaux, attacking Niort

Straight to the point for Sochaux! No, the FCSM does not take itself for OM (at the same time, the comparison with Marseille is not the most flattering at the moment) this Saturday night at Bonal. But against Niort, the priority is to fill up on points. To ignore the camera, reconfinement obliges, and therefore to find the way of the nets. It’s been 3 matches that Omar Daf’s team no longer wins (2 draws and one defeat) and above all no longer scores goals. The Sochaliens, 6th, must therefore be of attack against the Chamois Niortais, 7th.

“Some players need to raise their level of play, improve their stats” – Omar Daf

The FCSM coach was even very insistent on this point this Friday during the pre-match press conference. “I’m waiting for a reaction to at the Guingamp match (0-0) so that we can return to victory in Bonal. We are the 7th attack in the championship (10 goals scored in 9 matches) but despite everything, I wait more, some players have to raise their level of play, improve their stats, so that we can perform better in front of them. Omar Daf appeared somewhat annoyed by the lack of effectiveness, recurring in recent times, of his team on the offensive plan “We do everything we need all week to put the players in the best conditions, but at one point, in the last 25 meters, it is the individual quality that must make the difference. The situations in front of the goal, they are there, now you have to be more spontaneous, more instinctive to put it to the bottom. “ asserts the coach, visibly recovered.

“I want to come back but not as a ‘super sub’ ‘- Bryan Lasme, FCSM forward

Between the lines of this little warning shot, we can guess that the FCSM coach is targeting Bryan Soumaré or Fabien Ouréga, not influential and decisive enough for his taste. Bryan Lasme is not directly targeted. Often a substitute, the young striker wants to take his chance “After an injury at the start of the season, I want to come back but not as a “Super sub” (Super substitute: Bryan Lasme had equalized at the end of the match last season against Grenoble and Paris FC). I want to bring more to the team. I work a lot to simplify my game, avoid unnecessary dribbling and hit the goal more instinctively. Moreover, the whole team must make this effort. We have quality players up front, but we need to be more efficient, to shoot more, to be more spontaneous, to be more “killers” quite simply. summarizes the young striker trained in Seloncourt.

Without Pogba, Bédia, Ambri but with Niane alone at the top?

For this duel against Niort, Sochaux is deprived of Pogba and Bedia suspended but also Steve Ambri, not yet fully recovered from his COVID contamination. The Sochaux midfielder even has to pass “cardiological examinations this Saturday to get the medical green light for a collective resumption of training” says Omar Daf while on Niort’s side, no positive case is announced. To replace Florentin Pogba, suspended, Boris Moltenis, excellent in Toulouse during his last tenure, holds the rope “but as everyone likes to make their own composition, I’ll let you choose” quipped the coach of the yellow and blue as Abdallah Ndour returned from suspension.

At the forefront of the attack, Adama Niane, should compensate him for the suspension of Bedia. This would be the Malian’s second tenure after a first failure against Amiens (0-2), a second opportunity to be negotiated well this time. “He must bring us all his quality, his experience. He has qualities different from Chris Bédia, we worked all week to optimize his qualities precisely, and to put him in the best possible conditions while keeping our playing principles”. In other words, the ball is in the court of the FCSM players!

FCSM-Niort, it’s in camera, but on your radio, warm, it will be live and in full with the comments of Hervé Blanchard and Matheus Vivian from 6:45 pm.
