FCVB / National football: they were on the verge of such a nice shot!
Friday December 10, 16th national day. In Châteauroux, at the stadium Gaston Petit, LB Châteauroux and FC Villefranche-Beaujolais draw 0-0. Referee Mr. Anthony Ustaritz. Corn : . Composition of the FCVB:: Bouet – Bonenfant, Nirlo, Flégeau – Martin, Taufflieb (Injai, 84e), Sergio, Khous, Pagerie – Dabasse (Wissa, 84 years olde), Elisor (Guezoui, 69 years olde). Coach: Hervé Della Maggiore.
It would be so unfair to blame him. He who has so often carried the technical fate of his training, this season again. When the captain of the FCVB, Rémi Sergio, in the absence of the injured defender Kevin Renaut, took responsibility for the captain taking the penalty for the win, following yet another foray by Pagerie into the Berry area (58e), the idea of a turning point waited for the idea of a turning point to float in the air of the Gaston Petit stadium. We were going to see the Caldois masters of their subject, take the advantage over Castelroussins who lacked breath and collective cohesion, after the break, but Sergio’s strike flew over the cage of Paul Delecroix, in the big regret of the Marseille environment. At this moment, we do not know how this Châteauroux could have come back up to the FCVB. But it is not with “ifs” that we analyze a meeting.
Villefranche has succeeded in installing its usual process
The one that the Caladois delivered in the Berri looks like two drops of water from an autumn rain on previous outings, with less success. Because after having well managed the start of fire of Castelroussins made of rapid transitions, the striker Nolan Roux – orphan of the striker Thomas Robinet – being a threat for the Caladois, Villefranche managed to install his usual process, this propensity to carry the danger quickly in front, always with the offset (Khous, Sergio often) to touch the wings, and to dive constantly with the centers of Pagerie – burning for Dabasse, at 6 meters (9e), strong for Elisor’s left foot, Delecroix remaining calm (18e) – or that of Taufflieb, Martin launched like a bomb falling on a Paul Delecroix with an impeccable reflex (30e). The mobility of the attacking duo Dabasse-Elisor was one of the cornerstones of the Caladois pressing, then.
Villefranche finished strong this first period, like this attempt by Dabasse on a corner from Sergio (44e). All of this opened the floodgates of what happened in the second act. Based on better ball circulation, the domination of the FCVB was total, reaching a kind of climax on this missed Sergio penalty (58e). But everything else has been generous. And some have stood out in a striking way. If the three from behind (Flégeau, Nirlo, Bonenfant) did in safety as usual, there is one who has punctured the radars, the right piston Quentin Martin. Note, as a symbol of his performance, this rush of 30 meters with double contact to get rid of his opponents and be countered at the last moment (76e).
Martin was on fire!
There would have been material to change the situation of this 0-0 again if Guezoui had been able to take advantage of a good counter opportunity, with the entering Wissa on his left, demarcated. But he did not go to the end (90e). And Châteauroux? We will have noted some spikes in transitions, like this tumble of Mexico leaning on Roux and finding Bouet (70e) on its way. And that’s it.
So, with what feeling will Villefranche return to his Calade for the holidays before singing on January 7 at the reception of Sète? With certainly more positive lessons, as coach Hervé Della Maggiore often emphasizes. It would surely have been a nice shot to win since neither Annecy nor Bourg won against Sète for one (0-0 in Savoie) and a 0-1 defeat in reception of Orleans for the Bressans, but the phrase “master key” – may the season is still long – can comfort Villefranche who saw Concarneau in the lead, after his pragmatic success at Boulogne (1-0). The rest will be written in 2022. Always in the heights of this exciting National.
