Two weeks after their fine victory (3-0) against Niort, Amiens SC (4th) travels to Rodez (16th) on behalf of the 10th day of Ligue 2. Hoping that the international break does not have broke Amiens momentum. The defeat (5-2) against Quevilly-Rouen in a friendly last weekend is a good reminder to prevent any excess of confidence.
De Percin: “Don’t get the flower to the rifle”
“Even if we are fourth in the standings today, we have very little room for maneuver“Warns assistant coach Francis de Percin, who led the training sessions for the week in the absence of Philippe Hinschberger positive for Covid. “We must not get carried away, we have never really dominated our subject and won our matches 4-0 or 5-0. The road is long, each match will be difficult and this will be the case in Rodez where it will not be necessary to arrive with a flower in the gun. The slap (2-5) in friendly against Quevilly gave us the ideas in place. You have to stay humble.“
Gélin: “Continue to aim for the first places”
Even if the Ruthenians have not yet won at home this season, Amiens will have to be wary of a team that remains on a good victory at Paris FC (2-1). “Fourth with 17 points, we will be feared in this championship, we will have to show our fangsannounces defender Matthéo Xantippe, while midfielder Jérémy Gélin keeps his ambitions on the rise: “After such a start to the season you must continue to aim for the first places, we are gradually realizing that we have our chance to play, that we will have to be counted on too and even if the championship is going to be tough, we must not not hide! It takes high goals to aim for the best things possible“
