After seven league games without scoring, Andy Delort finally broke his goal drought, delivering a much-needed strike in his team’s recent victory. The Algerian international had not scored since the season opener against Paradou, a dry spell that drew frustration and criticism from fans.
Speaking to the club’s official website after the game, Delort expressed his relief at ending the slump.
“It’s a great victory in a stadium that was in turmoil. We had to get back to winning ways after a little slump.
We celebrated the goal and this victory in the locker room as it should be. After having experienced difficult times, it feels good to get back to the net,” he said.
Delort acknowledged the challenges he faced during his goal-less period, particularly after a long absence from competitive football.
“I was lacking competition since it had been more than four months since I last played. I always hung on without ever giving up,” he noted.
The striker also took a moment to thank the fans for their unwavering support. “I thank our supporters who are always there, whether at home or away.
Frankly, it feels good to get back to winning ways. And scoring can only give me confidence for the rest of the events,” he added.
Looking ahead, Delort emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum as his team prepares for a critical derby clash against CR Belouizdad.
“We will be ready for the derby against CRB,” said the African champion with Algeria, who is determined to carry his renewed confidence into the showdown.
The derby, set to take place on Wednesday at the 5-Juillet Stadium, will be a significant test for Delort and his teammates.
They aim to build on their recent victory and prove their mettle against Slimani’s formidable CRB squad.
With this goal breaking his prolonged dry spell, Delort’s return to form offers hope for his team and fans alike, as they gear up for a derby that promises to be both intense and pivotal in their campaign.
