This Sunday, November 22, the team of Nîmes receives Rodez in a duel of the South of France. For now the balance of the promoted is quite chaotic, a draw and eight losses for a total of 10 points. Nimes is for the moment the only team to have won no match this season. A complicated situation for the club, the players and the coach Gilles Agniel, who had confided to Hearts of Foot.
Football hearts: Nimes must go get his first victory against Rodez?
Gilles Agniel: "If we have a little self-esteem, we will have to get this first victory. We are not so far from this victory. But at some point, we have to do a lot more than we do to get points. We must stop being Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, to be at the same time day and night. It was the day against Albi (note: draw 1-1) and the night on our last match against Juvisy (note: defeat 5-0). "
Soccer Hearts: You have your full squad now because the players of the France Military team have returned ...
Gilles Agniel: "I come back and I come out of the players. I have some who are injured, others who are working, others who are not there and the soldiers who have returned. I have trouble composing a starting lineup on two or three games, which makes it difficult today to stabilize. Now there are people who have playing time, who have asked for play time and who do not show me much, so I am waiting to have the entire staff because there I could finally make choices and it would be easier. "
Football Hearts: You played against the top four, which team impressed you the most?
Gilles Agniel: "Lyon is a machine of war, that is to say that even at 5-0 or 6-0, they want to put eight, twelve, fifteen ... Paris has managed more against us and Juvisy turned against us. They have a quality game background. Montpellier, Juvisy, Paris and Lyon are the untouchable quartet of this D1. "
Nîmes will have another chance to get his first win against Rodez this Sunday at the Stade Annexe Costières. Rodez, eighth, will not let go and will try to revive after his defeat in the last league match against Lyon, 6-0.
