ASSE prepares to face Rodez on the second day of Ligue 2, hoping to win his first win of the season. This match comes after a draw against Nancy, leaving a slight frustration among the players and Rodez’ staff. The team made a difficult pre-season, with three defeats in five friendly games, but journalist Mathis Feััะฐrd of the Aveyron Press Centre tempers concerns by stressing the importance of the integration of new players and the development of automation rather than the one-off results. Despite some weaknesses, particularly in defence, the team is showing encouraging progress in implementing new strategies.
The upcoming season is perceived by Rodez as an attempt to maintain League 2, with a budget of 7.7 million. The team, although less experienced than before due to major departures, relies on young players to fill the gaps. The draw against Nancy left a taste of incomplete, Rodez having dominated the game but lacking efficiency in front of the goal. The team hopes to be able to be more successful against ASSE, especially in a home game in front of a large audience.
The context of the match is particularly interesting, as Rodez faces a favourite in the most beautiful stadium of the championship. This opportunity could transcend players, but also put them under pressure. The ASSE will therefore have to make a difference, faced with a Rodez team capable of various performances. The meeting promises to be a challenge for both teams, with important challenges for maintaining and conquering victory.
