If anyone had the slightest doubt about Maxime Dupé, his performance against Lorient (2-2) this Sunday afternoon will silence the critics. Great craftsman of this match, he saved a penalty in the 40th minute against Terem Moffi. He can do nothing on Armand Laurienté’s free kick in the 1st minute, the same on the penalty converted by Ibrahima Koné (80th). The TFC goalkeeper takes this draw as a reminder for the whole group.
What should we keep from this draw?
Maxime Dupé: There are positive things. But yes, there is above all frustration because we are at home with a superb atmosphere. In front of our supporters, we have to take points. Despite everything, we remain undefeated, that’s important. Today we made more individual mistakes than usual. Fortunately without too many consequences. We will quickly erase that, because we know that in Ligue 1, we can pay cash.
Two penalties conceded, a goal after 45 seconds… that’s a lot?
Yes, Ligue 1 has nothing to do with Ligue 2. You have to be aware of that and I had already made that clear. Everything goes faster, everything is stronger, more surgical, more efficient. It’s a little booster shot. We know that to be able to exist in this championship, we will have to make as few mistakes as possible and be more efficient. to be able to exist and assume. Yes, there is a fault on the penalty, but here we are, we must also assume our player side. On the second peno? I’m not far, but unlike the first, this one is well hit.
A word on Laurenté’s free kick?
I can not do anything. I saw it again quickly on the TV set and I still can’t understand how you can put so much strength so close to the goal and make it sink like that. I didn’t know it was possible within the laws of physics. Never really. At the start, I was a little undecided and I didn’t really know what to think about this goal. And I saw him again just now and was a wonderful free kick.
