N2: Expected reaction against Lyon-La Duchère
The N2 faces a direct opponent in the standings this Saturday (Lyon-La Duchère, 10th). After a complicated start to 2022, this 19th day is important for Stéphane Nado’s men.
“We have to react! » Here are the words of Stéphane Nado before facing Lyon-La Duchère, this Saturday February 19, at home. At the Prince Hereditary Jacques stadium, the reserve team, now 12th in the standings, has the opportunity to bounce back against a direct competitor. The Lyonnais currently occupy 10th place. A 10th place yielded last week by the band of Lucas Larade after the defeat against Hyères. “In the last game, the players were below our expectations defensively. However, I saw a real reaction during the week’s training sessions” explains the Monegasque coach.
At the dawn of this 19th day, the “Red and White” seem dangerously return to the lowest ranked teams. A possible success to keep them away by taking, at the same time, 2 points ahead of their opponent of the weekend. To do this, they will have to repeat the performance of the first leg.
Determination and humility
In Lyon, on September 4, 2021, the N2 had its first victory of the season, 2-0. “A very complicated match with an opposing team who knew how to impose their game. We had an exemplary state of mind to win this match” recalls Stéphane Nado. Since then, Lyon-La Duchère has changed coach, with the recent arrival of Jordan Gonzalez who remains on a successful performance with his group against Toulon (2-0).
Monegasques have been warned. For their part, they will seek their 6th success of the season, the 3rd at home. “We have to be humble. He will have to be very determined and put a lot of intensity” concluded by the AS Monaco coach. The kick-off will take place at 4 p.m. from Beausoleil.
