“We stay focused on our goal”

Like his teammates, Mehmet Soytoprak lived A very difficult evening With this heavy defeat conceded on the lawn of the Maladrerie OS (B) (3-0) on Saturday April 26, 2025. “We were still in the euphoria of our victory against the Uson Mondeville. Maybe too sufficient. The attitudes were not good. We said to ourselves things and we re -mobilized the same evening ”analyzes the Guardian of SC Hérouville.

It is a course error. We know that we must quickly turn the page and prepare our next games as well as possible. Our opponent made a solid match, but, in the impact and in intensity, we missed it. It happens. Today, the most important thing is to quickly move on.

Compared to one of the best guards in the world

The previous week, the men of Marco Calamaro had, in fact, made A particularly brilliant copy. Mehmet Soytoprak had thus distinguished himself with A decisive judgment on penalty. “I obey my instinct. I cannot say if I am a specialist in this exercise, but I always go for my strong side to have the maximum chance ”.

Comparisons with Gianluigi Donnarumma are therefore not usurped. “I’m happy when I am told!” ». In addition to an obvious physical resemblance, it has The same qualities that the Italian goalkeeper of Paris SG. “I try to encourage and be positive. I want to be very strong on my line and, thanks to last year’s experience, I better anticipate the air outings ”.

After the opening of his restaurant, it is haloed by a triple climb with AS Villers-Houlgate that he returned to the herouville SC. If the first team accesses the N2 and the R2 reserve team… He also scored the pretty trifle of nine goals with team C!

Having worked with Benjamin [Morel, ndlr] and Gaëtan [Boisroux, ndlr] For a year made me progress a lot and learn. I will never forget it, because I now manage to be decisive.

“Raising would be great pride”

Before he went into exile to AS IFS and JS DOUVESthe SC Hérouville is A club apart In the career of Mehmet Soytoprak. “It’s my club!” Where I grew up and where my children play. I want to take it to the highest level ”. Under the orders of Eric Fouda, he will taste the CFA2 (6 games) While it is only in U19. He too has experienced the liabilities from previous years and The climbs lost on the wire.

We came back with a spirit of revenge. Not so much for the group, but for the club which, in view of its big work with the football school or with the seniors, deserves its place in R1. In terms of licensees, it is the most important club in the region! We want to give a good image of us. Rising would be a great pride. For the club, for children and for the city.

For this, it will be necessary Win the three games left on the calendar. The club is also awaiting fate that will be given to the reserve Deposed after his victory against Uson Mondeville. “We have very strong individuals, but also a very united group. Like our captain who does not hesitate to put everyone up when necessary ”.

He’s a great player! With Edem [Adoueni, ndlr]they form a very good defense. They are complementary. Which allows you to play released. When I’m decisive, it’s not just me. The whole group and the coach trust me.

And, with the arrival of Marco Calamaro on the sidelines, the SC Hérouville also opened a new chapter. “Marco [Calamaro, ndlr] brings us his youth and his humanity. All his work as well as that of the staff is very important for the group. »»

All these good intentions, it will be necessary Confirm them with the reception of the US Alençonnaise (B). A team that is currently fighting for its survival in R2.

When we chained three important games at home, we took ten points out of twelve and, facing JS Douvres, we concede two goals in four minutes in the very last moments of the game. In previous years, we were losing against adversaries weaker than us. We learned, but nothing is done. We remain focused on our goal.
