Xavier Collin did not hide behind his little finger when discussing the results of the first part of US Orléans in the National (15th, in a relegation position after the defeat against Sète, while there is only one match left of the first leg, Friday in Bourg-en- Bresse), in the Tribune 100% USO program on France Bleu Orléans: “We would be crazy to think that today, this record is good, of course: from an accounting point of view, it is a record which is catastrophic, far from our expectations.”
The Orleans coach, who arrived last summer for two seasons, continues: “There are some mitigating circumstances there, but today we cannot be satisfied with this record. Even if there is still one match [sur la phase aller], we are aware that we have to do a lot better. And above all, quickly realize that today, you have to win matches, quickly “.
Maintenance objective
As for the goal, posted by the club, to find Ligue 2, a level left in 2020, Xavier Collin answers clearly: “when we are called the USO and behind, we have the ambition to go back to Ligue 2, today, we are not in the place where we wanted to be. Now, we are also aware of the shortcomings that ‘we can have shortages that we can have. And today, the objective is more to focus on maintenance, and also to build over time and quickly prepare a competitive team for the future . “
