All the Olympiens gathered around Albert Emon to celebrate the first goal, by Mamadou Niang. A strong image. Was it also symbolic? Niang was asked this question in a press conference. “Albert doesn’t need anything. He is very calm and very sure of himself,” responded the Senegalese. “ It’s not fair to think that the manager’s position is in danger whenever there is a problem. We, the players, have responsibilities to live up to. In Toulouse we were hopeless and that’s our fault, not the manager’s. I don’t see why it always falls onto the managers.”
“Since the beginning of the season, the training sessions have been great, and I like what he has to say. It’s going really well with the coach. He always supported us and always made good choices. When we’re off our game, as we were at the Stadium, we have only ourselves to blame, and we must look to ourselves to be more professional and perform better.”
