Rouault & Beye: Coupe de France Form & Recent Struggles

Habib Bey

Update on the group
“We have three absent with the CAN (Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal, Mahamadou Nagida, Seko Fofana), Przemysław Frankowski and Jérémy Jacquet will also be absent for this match. We were a little scared because we were hit by a major flu epidemic with players who we had to leave to rest. Lilian and Estéban were particularly affected; we will have to be attentive to their recovery. Everything was going well today, we hope it continues in the right direction. »

That XI?
“I am very little tempted by a big squad review. It is important to maintain continuity and the Lille match is coming quickly, the players must have maximum playing time to be ready. This Cup match is also important so I don’t want to change the eleven in any major way. In the goals? It will be Mathys (Silistria), I warned him and Brice. It’s important that he validates his progress in training by playing at Roazhon Park in a good context, an important context. It’s a good thing he’s starting this match. »

First professional match for Mathys Siilistrie
“Mathys has progressed a lot in his personality within the group, in his ability to lead the team. He is a profile with a very good recovery foot, he has a lot of courage and personality in this area. Mathys has gained momentum. Its evolution is one of the most important progressions since we arrived. It’s not a gift to play him, I think he’s ready and he has the chance to grow alongside a very great goalkeeper, which leads him to improve every day. »

Kader Meité and Elias Legend Quinonez holders ?
” We can. What is also important is to generate some form of experience, especially without Brice who will not be a starter. We are not here to do tests, we must also remember that opportunities can arise during the match. »

The concern of a relaxation against a fifth division club
“I pay close attention to slacking off, especially because I experienced it as a player and as a coach. This is Les Sables’ seventh match in the Coupe de France. We enter this adventure with the need to show the best version of ourselves. This is an important match in continuity. »
