Yassine Jebbou, the Moroccan international Espoirs and defender for AS Nancy-Lorraine, expressed his thoughts on the team’s recent 3-1 victory against Evian TG. Having been in the relegation zone since September 16, this win lifted ASNL out of the relegation zone.
Jebbou acknowledged the challenges posed by Evian TG, describing them as a regrouped team with strong counter-attacking players. He emphasized the team’s calmness after conceding an equalizer and their focus on keeping possession and rotating the ball before scoring goals.
The defender sees the victory as somewhat surprising but crucial, considering the difficult journey they’ve had in the league. With 11 points at the break, AS Nancy Lorraine is now in a non-relegation position, holding one point more than FC Sochaux. Jebbou emphasized the importance of remaining undefeated at home during the final five games, which he referred to as “five finals.”
Looking ahead, Yassine Jebbou emphasized the need to stay focused and avoid any missteps during the remaining matches to secure their place in Ligue 1 next season. The team faces a challenging away match against Reims on the 34th day, followed by games against Valenciennes, Girondins de Bordeaux, Bastia, and Stade Brestois.
The victory against Evian TG has given AS Nancy-Lorraine the opportunity to control their destiny in the battle to stay in Ligue 1.
