Julien Stephan, the Strasbourg trainer: “It’s a relief and it is well deserved in the game. We expected this type of scenario with a very tightly knit team, which was going to counter. We tried a lot, not always skillfully, but we had a lot tried and it happened at the last second. It also reflects the state of mind of this group who never let go, who stuck to the end, fought with their strengths of the day and their current form and who was rewarded with this logical equalization. It’s good to run the clock, when the circumstances are a little less favorable. “
Racing captain Dimitri Liénard : “We are satisfied anyway, given the physiognomy of the match. We were led until the 97th minute, we were still rewarded for our efforts. We can be proud of ourselves because we did not give up. proves that we are a group with exemplary cohesion. It is not trivial to come back like that at the last minute. Against Nantes two weeks ago, to come back twice to 10 against 11, that is not trivial no more.”
- THE ANALYSIS OF OUR CONSULTANT:
More often confined on the sidelines in recent weeks, Jeanricner Bellegarde donned the Savior’s habit this Sunday at La Meinau. He equalized with a magnificent free kick at the end of added time (97th minute). It is simply the second goal of his career in Ligue 1. Remarkable for his activity in the midfield and his lightning accelerations, “Jean-Jean” also proved this Sunday that he could be decisive offensively, which he still lacked.
As the number of centers Strasbourg residents this Sunday against Reims. But they were often imprecise and rarely we saw Racing players at the reception. The Champagne defenders, with the Belgian Wout Faes in the lead, have almost always gained the upper hand over the Strasbourg attackers.
