Hopefully the Stade des Alpes will inspire the youngsters of the Espoirs team, to win against Armenia this Thursday, November 11, at 8:45 p.m.. With 10 points, they are in first place in Group H. The start of the qualifiers started off pretty well with three wins: against North Macedonia (3-0), Ukraine (5-0) and Serbia (3 -0), for a draw against the Faroe Islands (1-1).
“We especially want to go on, we stay on two consistent matches, we want to continue on this dynamic, describes Sylvain Ripoll, the coach. We will give a good image of our team and especially do what it takes to win because we have an opponent who will necessarily be difficult to maneuver. It’s up to us to make things less complex, to make this match turn in our favor. When they play with this collective mindset, with the willingness to make an effort for each other, to respect what the game demands, I think their individual qualities are better expressed. ”
The Lyonnais Maxence Caqueret, will set foot on the Stade des Alpes for the first time, even if Grenoble is not unknown to him: “I played against Grenoble when I was little, it brings back memories, I played a lot in the region. These are beautiful memories of my young career.“
