For its fifth preparation match, Chambly recorded its first loss (0-1) against Laval (Nat.) This Wednesday in Gouvieux after a victory and three draws. The two opponents were however still back to back when Bruno Luzi changed his team on the hour mark. A match that allowed Nikola Petkovic, the top scorer of the last Serbian D1 championship, to make his debut with Chambly during of the last 30 minutes.
What lessons do you take from the match against Laval on Wednesday?
BRUNO LUZI. There was a lot of fatigue. We had a good and interesting hour, and a last half hour - with the change of team - insufficient in a lot of things. Especially in the will. From there, we were dominated at the end quite clearly and logically.
Beyond the result, the manner left you unsatisfied ...
Yes. The score is anecdotal, and we can be a little worse in a match. Particularly in the weeks with three meetings. But on the other hand, as I told them (to the players) this morning (Thursday), we must try to convey a much more positive image. I did not feel a great determination on the part of the team which played the last half hour ...
For you, it is therefore a good defeat ...
Exactly. It comes at the right time because we still have two preparation matches (Editor's note: this Saturday against the Red Star (Nat.), At 9:30 a.m. in Gennevilliers; August 15 on the road against Lens at 2 p.m.) and we have time to put the heads right side up.
Is that why you used the expression "to deflate your heads" at the end of the meeting?
For example. Because it can be likened to that as well. Unconsciously, of course. No one has taken the big head, but they are good reminders to order. You play a team that has a gap division, which is a contender for the comeback since it has been a Ligue 2 for a long time: if you are a little worse, that is not enough.

Hence a booster shot in training this Thursday ...
I took the last team, I told them that we could not be good, that we could lose a match because it's football, but on the other hand we must have certain ingredients which, them , are accessible to everyone. We can be a little less well technically, it happens, but we have to stay disciplined and think about defending well when it is harder to attack and make the difference. It was moving forward, but a bit anyhow since we didn't create any situations in the last half hour. On the other hand, we took waves in return. The attitude, I do not let pass. We have to show more determination.
Nikola Petkovic made his first appearance with Chambly in the last half hour. What impression did he make on you?
He is one of the boys who tried to fight. After that, he didn't have a lot of balls because he played the period when we did anything and everything. He's not in good shape yet. We cannot judge him on that. On a daily basis, he is someone who does not laugh, who knows why he is there. You can tell he's determined. But the others are too ...
