“In a way, it’s good that everything is finally over,” breathes Laurent Henkinet. “Nothing worked out, as it often does, but I don’t want to start pointing fingers one way or the other. No one is fooled in the club and everyone knows that a lot of things will have to change”.
From the cellar to the attic, to finally forget a catastrophic season. “This final defeat is intended to be frustrating because it is like many others. We must now take advantage of the coming weeks to already lay the foundations for the next exercise”.
The one that rhymes with uncertainty since the takeover of the club. “We do not yet know the investors’ project. This surely comes from the process related to the analysis necessary to not make the same mistakes again. We know there’s going to be a lot of player movement but that’s normal when you’re going through such a season. The only certainty is that I want to stay as long as possible in this new project”.
Dragus: ‘Being top scorer didn’t bring anything’
Denis Dragus is also one of those elements who aspire to keep their place on the banks of the Meuse. “To put the team back in a place that better suits its prestige. I’m sad about what we’ve achieved this year, so hopefully I can contribute more.”
In particular by being more decisive than the six roses planted in the championship. A figure certainly low but which allows him to finish in the shoes of the top scorer of the Rouches. “It remains anecdotal in my eyes, because these goals did not allow us to finish higher in the classification. It’s important to score but if it doesn’t lead to anything, the satisfaction is necessarily less intense. All that matters is to quickly turn the knob and move forward. Each element has made mistakes, so it is as a team that we will have to work. For my part, I will continue to do as usual, trying to be there when I am trusted. The coming weeks are going to be difficult because it’s not fun to train without experiencing high-stakes matches. But we must go through it, without wasting time. We have already wasted enough…”
