After having been able to review the defeat of the 1st day, Albert Cartier confirms his first post-match impressions. The Nancy coach regrets that his team did not not shown to be dangerous enough.
And there are several explanations: a desire to quickly bring danger to the front, sometimes too much, which resulted in a stereotypical game where the people of Nancy sent a lot of long balloons to try to find striker Diafra Sakho. Albert Cartier is also surprised because it is not necessarily something that the people of Nancy have worked on a lot during the preparation.
He would have preferred his team to rely more on his midfielder who seems to be more than capable of playing the ball and who has the physical capacity to do so. Because in the end, the danger came mainly from the sides and the Nancy coach would like his team to have a slightly more varied palette to surprise the opponent. That she could be more dangerous in the axis too.
The Lorraine technician noticed it well, his midfielder and in particular the central players have not been at the level expected of them. Nothing alarming but we feel that this Nancy midfield still needs to be prowled so that everyone finds their good positioning and their role.
Highs, lows and possession
The efficiency that characterized Bourg’s game on Monday fled from Nancy. When you dominate the start of a match so much, this needs to happenotherwise, the opponent is quick to take advantage of it by exploiting a counter, a loss of the ball or a set piece.
Conversely, when the opposing team is in a good phase, you have to know how to gradually get your hands on the game. At the end of the 1st half on Monday, Nancy ended up conceding several set pieces near of its surface and it is there that Bourg took advantage of it to open the mark, ASNL failed to loosen the noose which was closing in on her.
Finally, it is necessary know how to be patient. All teams would like to score early and then let the opponent come out of their bases and try to counter them, it’s a comfortable position. But when it doesn’t smile right away, this Nancy team must learn to wait for the right moment, to circulate the ball, they have the technical qualities.
Orleans, new test
After Bourg at the opening, Orleans will be another nice challenge. In the top 10 of last season, the Orleans, led by former SAS Epinal coach Xavier Collin, made an interesting recruitment with some experienced players, such as midfielder Grégory Berthier (Auxerre, Reims) or striker Kévin Fortuné (Lens, Troyes, Auxerre).
An “athletic” team describes defender Gaëtan Bussmann, who has arguments to annoy the Nancy. A training that risks being on the lookout for the slightest inaccuracy or loss of the Nancy ball. They risk being very active in recovery, you will have to be “vigilant” warns the Nancy rookie.
Only one change in the group
Compared to Monday’s game, the goalkeeper Abdoulaye Diallo, injured, will be unavailable for 1 month. It is Marco Giagnorio who takes his place in the group and Martin Sourzac will start in the cage.
