After trying everything against Caudry (0-3), Ali Nouaour’s men are keen to bounce against Lyon. On hostile fields, the Samarians will try to bring victory, synonymous with maintenance.
This Saturday, the Amiens move in Lyon on the occasion of the 5th day of Play-Downs. While the Picards come out of a match during which “No ingredient had been united”for their part, the Lyonnais detached themselves from Villejuif in three sets which allows them to remain in the race for maintenance. In order to rebuild his players, Ali Nouaour and his staff have ” Given some players individually in order to communicate what was expected of them on the last two championship days. Monday, we decided to have a friendly moment to die the abscess ” testified the Samarian technician.
Despite this setback, Ali Nouaour wants to be optimistic before approaching this trip: “We know that we always have our destiny in our hands. Today, there are five points ahead of Lyon, a team that had been beaten 3-1. We have to reproduce the same match as going out even if we know that at home, Lyon has dropped cadors “. While the end of the season is fast approaching and fatigue settles down, it is essential according to the Amiens coach to no longer be in the calculation: “There are two games to win, six points to take. You have to do it. We know that the organizations are tired, the season remains long […] You have to concentrate “. The Tactician Picard therefore intends to motivate his players before this meeting which promises to be already crucial: “You have to make sure you are present on this match because you know it will be a complicated match. We know that we are going to be jostled but we will not have to give up, do not undergo. We will have to be present and in good shape to seek victory synonymous with maintenance ”.
Although the trip to Lyon is disadvantageous for the Samarians, the latter are able to win with authority like the first leg at the La Paix gymnasium: “We have a big trip which is not necessarily obvious in the organization […] We know we will be expected. It is an audience that is quite present, which encourages its players a lot. I’m going to say exactly the same as in the first leg: we have players who have the experience of the high level. We have in front of us a team that is young, who has talent but have to make our experience speak on this kind of match […] We will have to be clean in all the compartments of the game » said Ali Nouaour.
