With the fourth day of the Ligue 2 BKT League approaching, which will see DFCO travel to Caen to meet the Quevilly-Rouen Métropole (Saturday 14 August at 7pm at Stade Michel d’Ornano), pressure builds on Dijon’s group and coach David Linares, who has yet to achieve No league win this season.
Since the disappointing draw against Rhodes at Gaston Gerrard Stadium on Saturday 7 August (1-1), the third game without a win in the most Ligue 2 days for DFCO, a notable decision has been made and an update has been made. Manufactured within the Dijon Professional Group.
Yassine Benzia has desires elsewhere
The decision was to dismiss Yassine Benzie. “What interests me is that there are players who are 100% concerned,” David Linarès said Thursday afternoon at a press conference, specifying that the player hopes to be recruited by a club that plays at a level above Ligue 2.
So it is no longer appropriate at all to want to rely on an offensive element that has desires elsewhere.
David Linarès remains focused on the Dijon project: to have his team play the main roles in Ligue 2 and give themselves, at best, the right to think again about Ligue 1 as the season progresses. However, his group was already behind at the start of the tournament. This led to the coach and his crew meeting with President Olivier Delcourt.
“I know the rules of the game, the goal is the performance of the team […]. Now, you have to perform,” says the main interested party, emphasizing that the pressure is constant in this business, recognizing that it can be reduced with good results.
The intensity required of the players
According to Dijon’s coach, “All it takes is a spark to turn things around.” In other words, very early in the season, he naturally reasserted his confidence in his players, without sparing them the harmful “mistakes and technical waste” against Rudes.
David Linarès warns of the following move: “If you want to get an advantage over an opponent who has a unified defense, you have to be able to have a more fluid turn of the ball.” By asking for intensity from your players, with and without the ball.
That’s the answer to be given against Quevilly-Rouen on Saturday, August 14, whose status as a promoted team in Ligue 2 this season obviously doesn’t give it a spot at the bottom of the standings. The team coached by Bruno Erlis is in eighth place with four points in two matches. This is especially so since Norman’s team will not receive DFCO with overconfidence as “DFCO is PSG in Ligue 2” according to Bruno Irles (the statement made before Leo Messi’s arrival anyway).
As for DFCO, without underestimating the already struggling tournament, the current 17th is clearly not the right place, 8 points behind Paris FC, the ranking leader, and 6 points to follow Toulouse and Nimes and. Auxerre.
If it is admitted that Dijon has not been spared heavy blows such as the unavailability of Jordan Marais and Bersan Celina for several months, or injury during the preparation of top scorer Mikael Le Behan, David Linares’ team must restore their technical mastery and potential. situation quickly.
Lucas de and Zargo Toure are ready to play
Speaking of Mikael Le Behan, the striker has resumed the squad this week, and so has Willeti Younes. A week carried out entirely within the group by summer recruits Lucas Deaux and Zargo Touré, who are able to play on Saturday 14 August.
Roger Asali has not trained this week.
