” The advantage is that once you’ve played them, you only play them once a year.”. Didier Digard laughed bitterly on the eve of the first match of HACthis season, against Paris Saint-Germain. The curtain raiser of the 2024-25 campaign pits two clubs dear to this young technician against each other.
A former player at Le Havre, where he was appointed coach this summer, Digard knows the Parisian context perfectly, having also frequented the capital club during his first life. This meeting will therefore have a special flavor for him.
Le Havre facing a mountain
Didier Digard is not approaching this match with a defeatist mindset, despite the heavy pre-season defeat against Buchum (0-6). ” I was afraid of the players’ reaction. That it would really affect confidence. But we looked back at the match on Monday and we quickly got out of it. We quickly got back to work for PSG.”
“It’s a team where all the positions are doubled or tripled and depending on the player it can change the whole face of the team. It’s quite special to prepare for” , concluded the former Nice coach.
