The preparation match against Carouge left an overall positive impression for ASSE, with a solid defense and an inspired midfielder. The 3-1 win was made possible by the goals of Ben Old, Lamine Fomba and Zuriko Davitashvili, demonstrating a convincing performance by the team. Maxime Bernauer distinguished himself as a defensive pillar, ensuring the solidity of the block, while Florian Tardieu orchestrated the game with its pass quality and energy. Maedine Makhloufi, replacing Lassana Traoré, shone by his mastery of the corridor, his left foot precision and his game intelligence, deserving to be encouraged and followed.

However, this victory is tempered by important concerns. The team underwent a medical emergency with Djyliian Nguessan, attacker U17, who suffers from a thigh discomfort, compromising his summer preparation. Lassana Traoré, the new Senegalese recruit, had difficulties and made a defensive mistake, stressing the need for time to adapt to the pace and rigour of European football. In addition, the match highlighted a lack of depth on the left, making it necessary to recruit priority to this position.

In conclusion, ASSE is building a solid foundation for the coming season, with a well-established defence, creative environment and promising offensive potential. Nevertheless, Nguessan’s injury, the doubts about Traoré and the need for a left rear remind us that work remains to be done. This match has at least the merit of setting expectations, stressing the need to progress while filling weaknesses. Preparation is underway, and this progress will need to be confirmed in the upcoming games.
