Yet beaten 1-0 in the first leg and still deprived of victory, the Gym approaches this second leg with full confidence. “Yes, I still have the intuition that we are going to pass,” confirms Lucien Favre, after having assured from the end of the first leg “we will do it“. Same positive speech in the mouth of Jean-Clair Todibo. “Yes we are very confident. We were better than them in the first leg, so in front of our home crowd there’s no reason we couldn’t do better.“But don’t tell the defender it looks like the Coué method.”I don’t know what the Coué method means. But I’m just saying that there is no reason for us to play less well than during the first period in Israel.“

An attack at half mast

Except that the Gym must win by two goals if they want to qualify. While he has only scored two goals in four games since the start of the season. “_If the coach asks us to do”full attack“We’ll do that! But the objective is simply to win and avoid extra time,” confirms Jean-Clair Todibo. “I expect a real awareness to do better and to do more together. I’m waiting for a reaction from the team,” warns Lucien Favre anyway.
