Despite the series of five games without a win, coach Angers Sco does not panic. He has already experienced such situations in the past At the time of facing Montpellier, the team in the form of the moment, he wants above all to move forward.

How do you approach this game against Montpellier, the big surprise of this beginning of the season?

As an outsider. Who wants to take points because our situation requires it and also because, as it may be the case with Paris, why not be the first to make them fall for 11 matches? All the teams they are currently running very often end up with a negative score. We know that our opponent is very fit at the moment. this ranking is surprising but not usurped at all given what it produces.

Are you surprised by the beginning of Montpellier season?

Yes and no. Yes, because they started with a defeat (against Dijon). It's never easy to react as they did. And also because they have substantially the same structure as last year, on the defensive. But they scored in the 1,000 on their offensive rergent. They have greatly improved their workforce on this level. Last year, they were very strong defensively and still are. But they went up several notches offensively. Today is a very complete team.

In recent weeks, you play pretty well. Has this been the case since your rise in L1?

We have already made good matches. What characterizes us today in this area is regularity. Now, it must be followed by the facts, that is, the results. Because they tell me that we play well, but that we lose, it ends up inflating me.

Is this quality of play, despite the five games without a win, what prevents you from falling into the disaster?

There is no sinistrose here. We have experienced other periods when it was much worse than that and we never fell into disaster. Today, we are 15th, we are in our league and if we had contrary scenarios, it is that we are the team we are, we have qualities and also gaps. For now, we show qualities, but not enough for the balance to be positive. We are back from what we are able to do. The sinistrose is a word I do not know.

This need point, it is felt?

Yes because when we do not win we do not score. It's been several times that we are close to mark more but we do not take enough (points). We are confronted with a team of value, it will be harder but recent history shows that sometimes against opponents much higher than us, we are able to reverse the trend.

When you look at the match scenarios, do you think you had fewer points than you should have taken?

I consider that what we missed, we did not deserve to have it. It's up to us to make sure we do not miss what we can take. This is where I have regrets: we should have more points because we had favorable scenarios and we did not know how to take advantage of them. It happened too often this season where we felt that we had to win and that we did nothing. And even sometimes we lost. So we had everything in our hands. For a club like ours, it's difficult because, normally, these opportunities, they do not show up as much as that. In some of the games we lost, we showed so much that we should have won.

Which matches do you think?

We started with a match like that. Against Nîmes, the turn of the match is pretty mind-blowing. In Saint-Etienne, even if it's not scandalous to have lost, given the scenario, we should not leave there with a defeat. Reims, I do not even mention it. It's the game we dominated the most, but we did not win it. Strasbourg, we get upside down and everything goes in the wrong direction. We have rarely dominated matches like this.
