Mamour Ndiaye Saint-Étienne Laval win, Digi Mart USA News: Mamour Ndiaye kept another clean sheet in Ligue 2 one week after a difficult performance at Guingamp, speaking to our microphone after Saint-Étienne’s 2-0 victory over Laval.
Ndiaye said the performance was simply normal. “We are here to win every match.
Each game is different. Today, we raised our level and showed what we are capable of,” he said.
He added that the squad must stay focused on the upcoming fixtures, even as some players prepare to join their national teams. “Nothing is done yet.
We must keep our feet on the ground and work hard to reach our goal: promotion to Ligue 1.”
Ndiaye said the team wanted to send a clear message after Guingamp: to show its real level. He stressed that the squad should not rely on good results or assume anything is guaranteed.
“It is very good to string together clean sheets and show good things defensively, but we must keep working for the next matches.”
He said the team had corrected what did not work at Guingamp. “We are young, but we must not stay focused on the mistakes we made.
We must learn to do better. Mistakes are part of football.
The essential thing is to return to work to come back stronger.”
On the cold conditions, Ndiaye said the temperature of about 5 °C did not bother him. He noted that he had played in Norway, where temperatures can drop to -10 °C.
Although he did not have much to do during the match, he said the key was communicating with teammates and staying concentrated. “I am a goalkeeper: if the ball reaches me, I must be concentrated at 200% and keep talking to encourage and guide my partners.”
