Ligue 2: winner (1-0) in Caen, Paris FC continues its recovery
The match between the former L1 coaches between Stéphane Moulin and Thierry Laurey turned in favor of that of Paris FC. Moulin’s annoyed face spoke volumes. The Parisians took advantage of the current deficiencies of Caen (7th game without a win) to sign a third victory in a row. It is the crisis in Caen which remained on an elimination in the Coupe de France against a team of N3. Paris FC performs a good operation since it finds the Top 5.
What you must remember
Failing to be brilliant, Paris FC was serious in the face of a Caen team in the midst of a crisis of confidence and sometimes ghostly. The show was not necessarily on the field. After a monster signing session (2,000 people), rapper Orelsan, originally from Caen, set the Ornano stadium on fire by singing a title from his new album and then kicking off. “The best kick-off ever,” he smiled. The two teams had trouble getting in tune, while the Kop of Caen had deployed hostile and ironic banners ‚had gone on strike at the start of the match before resuming his encouragement. In this strange atmosphere, it was Paris FC, organized in 4-4-2 with Alimami Gory holder for the first time this season in L2, which was the most dangerous in the first period. Caen often breathed feverishness. But Riou is decisive by turning the head of Warren Caddy (19th). Caddy then places his recovery right next to it (25th). Well served by Moustapha Nom, Gory the Parisian stranglehold (0-1, 64th). By winning his duel against Mendy, Caen’s top scorer (7 goals), Vincent Demarconnay keeps this goal ahead (68th). Parisians will no longer be worried. The players of Caen multiply the approximations and are chambered by their supporters. After a 2-0 ball missed by Jaouen Hadjam (90th + 4), the Ornano stadium rumbles in front of the new failed performance of his team. Paris FC took advantage of it.
The player: Alimami Gory
The former Le Havre et de Troyes striker (25) suffered a dislocated shoulder in his first match with Paris FC on September 18 in Sochaux. After having started in the Coupe de France last Sunday in Sedan, Alimami Gory, loaned to the PFC on September 1 by Cercle Bruges (D1 Belgium), started for the first time in L2. On his left side, he has a lot of speed. And he was quick to unlock his counter (64th). Gory had participated in the rise in L1 of Troyes last season (5 goals)
The number: 3
Paris FC won its third victory in a row by the same score (1-0) after that in Dijon and against Rodez.
The reactions
““ Over the whole game, the victory makes sense even if there is not a huge difference between the two teams. On one has mastered the game, the ball. We weren’t efficient enough. At halftime, I was a little disappointed because I found that there were some last passes that had to come more easily. We rushed a bit when we had to take our time. We got off to a good start. In the second half, we have to fold the game, even if I do not forget that Alexandre Mendy had a big opportunity. We expose ourselves much less than at the start of the season. With fewer chances, we are more efficient but it would be good if we think about scoring the second goal from time to time. We felt the Caen team a little inhibited. She is in a difficult situation. Despite their good will, we did not feel they were confident to let go a little more. We, at the end of 2021, which is quite exciting to play. ” Thierry Laurey coach of Paris FC
“We are happy with the state of mind. We are in the continuity of the last games, three clean sheets in a row, that’s not nothing. We know that if we want to play the climb, we no longer have the right to lose points stupidly. We are focused on the goal. Despite the warm public, we remained calm. We want to finish the calendar year 2021. Between us, we have set ourselves the goal of not losing any game by the break. ” Ousmane Camara, central defender of Paris FC.
