The group was formed with a clear determination: climb quickly. This Friday, AS Nancy Lorraine triumphed against Nîmes Olympique thanks to a splendid free kick from Teddy Bouriaud (1-0). This success crowns the Lorraine Club National Champion, marking his return to Ligue 2.. Pablo Correa, returned in November 2023 to succeed Benoît Pedretti, savor this climb with ASNL, its third. He confided at length to our partner Ouest France.
A course strewn with challenges
At the start of the season, the task was not easy with more than half of the renewed workforce. It was necessary to build an entirely new defense and create cohesion. From the start, the climb objective was displayed. This group has worked intensively, with various characteristics, to become homogeneous and balanced.
Pablo Correa: undeniable pride
Despite seven defeats, Nancy displays the national attack and defense of the National this season. The public, with its 14,231 spectators this Friday, played a crucial role. “The public is an asset, even if he does not win the games alone,” says Pablo Correa. Since its return, a positive dynamic has been established, the public having always supported the club, regardless of the challenges.
A flawless engagement coach
The Uruguayan, elected best coach in Ligue 1 in 2006 and 2007, celebrated his 600th match with Nancy against Le Mans. “It is a great pride to have run as many games in a single club,” he admits. For him, it testifies to constant results, although it often goes unnoticed. “Makeing as many matches in this job is a success,” he adds.
… My opinion on the subject
The rise of AS Nancy Lorraine is not only the fruit of a sports project, but also of a collective commitment where each member plays an essential role. The leadership of Pablo Correa is indisputable, but it is the synergy between players, coaches and supporters that allowed this success. All this raises the question: what is the role of the public really in the success of a club? It’s up to you to judge!
