A very good reward for the former Niort who never stopped working in training. “It wasn't easy for me, since I had only played four matches since my arrival. But I did not give up, I continued to work, without ever having the slightest regret having left Niort "recognizes the number 16 of DFCO.
To believe it, he never regretted his choice. "I was always ready, I didn't put the pressure on myself, nor to the staff. They felt it was the right time. I never regretted my choices, I made the choice to be there and I take it ", he said while adding that "The situation is difficult for the team, but mathematically the maintenance is still possible. (…) I will now do everything to prove to the technical staff that he was right to trust me "
Dussuyer rejoices
From Cotonou, Michel Dussuyer, according to the same source was able to follow the performance of his foal against Marseille, judging its performance "generally satisfactory". For the Squirrels coach, Saturnin Allagbé on his arrival in Dijon was not launched in the best conditions. “He played last November against Lesotho (1-0,0-0) and in Nigeria the 27 mars (0-1). I felt he was affected not to play, but he never complained. I still believe that he was not put in the best conditions when he arrived in Dijon : he signed on Friday, trained once and started in Bordeaux two days later (0-3), even though he had almost no benchmarks ", he confided.
