Daniel Congré, left to rest like Benzia, Coulibaly or Scheidler, did not participate in the qualification of the DFCO in the Coupe de France on the lawn of Morteau-Montlebon. He listened to the match on the radio on France Bleu Bourgogne, but he was however present in 100% DFCO Monday, November 29, 2021, for the 3rd episode of our common thread, “Hello Daniel”. In addition to the Coupe de France and the Golden Ball, we spoke with him about the good dynamics in Dijon, while the DFCO remains on three consecutive victories in all competitions.
Thanks to the victory against AJA, DFCO ranks 12th in L2. If you win at Guingamp on Friday, you could reach the Top 10 for the first time. Is this a pivotal match?
“I don’t necessarily like this term, it means everything and nothing. It is sure that it is an important game. You must not miss the boat because it can be good for everyone to switch to this first part of the picture. To restore confidence to everyone, to a whole group, and then to set new goals “.
Three championship matches in December (Guingamp, Niort and Nancy) … the coming month promises to be decisive!
“The state of the troops is very good after these positive results. It is important not to relax, disappointments can go very quickly, and we know what we are talking about because it has already happened this year. Like the matches of Morteau and Auxerre, we have to keep this dynamic and manage to place ourselves quietly in this first part of the table “.
Against Auxerre, the DFCO raised its level. Do you think you can repeat these performances?
“That’s the goal, that’s what we want to strive for. To continue to improve in the game as we have been doing for some time, and to try to develop this game which is so enticing, as in the first half. Auxerre time, to pose problems for all the teams. We are capable of doing it, it is up to us to repeat it as regularly as possible. To put together a good match and an average match, it’s not the best, for us to be as regular as possible “.
How has the derby context helped the team in its performance?
“We often talk about the 12th man for the supporters, there it was really the case. It’s the first time that we played with so many supporters this season, they really pushed us from the start, we could feel this going that we had with their support. I would like to congratulate them, this victory is achieved thanks to them. There is a real difference at that level “.
I want to congratulate them, this victory is achieved thanks to them
Against Morteau-Montlebon, Patrice Garande took care to manage everyone’s playing time, especially with the three from the defense (Panzo, Touré and Ecuele-Manga) who played 90 minutes. Is this management important?
“Yes it keeps everyone in the rhythm and the competition. Sénou (Coulibaly) is suspended this weekend. He will have to be replaced. So having players who keep the rhythm and who respond present, it is also the one of the possible goals of this competition “.
Sénou Coulibaly scored, Bruno Ecuele-Manga also this weekend. It’s yours now!
Yes it will come, there are still matches (laughs).
