Facing Rodez, ASNL has not failed overall, but it took just 2 badly negotiated moments to see the possibility of inflating the pool of points, soaring away as quickly as the head of the Ruthenian defense slipped into the nets of Nancy. Benoit Pedretti and his staff have done the accounts and the Nancy coach puts his players in front of their responsibilities:
“Since we’ve been here, we took 7 goals from set pieces : 3 corners, an off-center kick in Niort, a touch and a 6m in Ajaccio and a penalty. […] So I’m fine, we’re a team, we win together, we lose together, but on the stopped phases it’s one-on-one and it is the one who wants it the most who is needed and at the moment it is not us!”
Down with sterile possession!
In addition to this recurring concern about stopped phases, ASNL must also do better at the other end of the field. If the ASNL often has possession of the ball in its favor during matches, this statistic leaves coach Benoit Pedretti skeptical: “I am not looking for possession at all costs. Possession for me is used to make the opponent run. , to make shifts. If that’s to say we made 20 passes behind, we have possession, that does not interest me! “
The striker Vinni Triboulet confirms “We must find passes between the lines, more vertical” and try to erase these passes “pretexts” which do not advance the Nancy but reassure. Must therefore let go a little more, do more. Especially since ASNL will be deprived this Friday of Mickaël Biron, suspended, one of the most restless Nancy this season.
