The observation is widely shared, if the ASNL had to make great effort to find a more stable and coherent organization and animation and a more solid bass it has, for the moment, only made one tiny step towards a possible continuation.
But this small step is already 3 games unbeaten5 points garnered and an imperative victory won last week against Dunkirk to still believe in the feat.
The ASNL has therefore only earned the right to still believe in it, but this seems to have opened a little wind of optimismnot only by these results but also and above all by the way.
Better on many levels
the collective finally produces play and finds flaws. The solidarity defensive, a little more serenity, moreapplication to limit errors and gifts made to adversaries, a better channeled aggression to avoid sanctions and the ASNL has managed for 3 games to slow down the surge of goals it has suffered since the start of the season.
positive points
The return to form of the defender, African champion with Senegal, Saliou Ciss is a good sign, the rapid adaptation of winter recruits also, the good behavior of some young people like El Aynaoui is promising, but beware, as coaches often point out, it’s often when you feel that the signs are positive that trouble happens.
Vigilance will be all the more necessary in the face of “a wounded beast” in the words of Saliou Ciss to qualify Le Havre, an ambitious team, which had a good first part of the season but which has stalled for a few months and which has not yet won in 2022. Worse, it has just taken 8 goals in 2 games against Toulouse and Bastia. It is therefore not going very well for the HAC, but they want to react and Albert Cartier warned his troops against the start of the Le Havre match, which risk of being engaged.
