A slap, a lesson, a humiliation? Corrected at home by Troyes (0-3), Saturday evening in Ligue 2, ASSE missed an opportunity to take a big step towards promotion unlike ESTAC, now assured of playing in Ligue 1 next season. “It’s a dark evening for us”summarized Philippe Montanier at a press conference.
“The score is still heavy with four shots on target and three goals for Troyes. We still do a good first, but we pay for our second. We see that it’s the team that makes the most mistakes that loses.”he lamented, worried to have seen Zuriko Davitashvili (16th) and Chico Lamba (61st) leave their teammates during the match.
“We lack leadership on the ground”

Three weeks ago, we didn’t think we would be there, we will have to fight until the end. I’m ready, the players too. We will have to digest this defeat and fight until the end. »
Fighting, not necessarily the first quality of his team.
“It is certain that when we are in difficulty, we lack leadership on the ground, we quickly die when things do not work out in our favorhe admitted. We need character to get through difficult times and turn things around. We weren’t able to do it this evening. »
