Soccer. In mid-season, the MOS, the ASPTT Caen and Mondeville are in ambush
Through Aline Chatel

Difficult, as often at this period, to see it completely clearly in the classification of Regional 1. The leader has played 12 matches – he would be well in the lead even if there had been less – when others did not. ‘are only nine. None of the three teams in the agglomeration of Caen (Calvados) does not have the same total. Potentially, they can be almost all tied after updating the calendar. But if the Maladrerie OS is satisfied with its third place, two points behind a second row synonymous with a climb, the ASPTT Caen is. Mondeville, which displays its different approach, prefers to retain a positive development.
Classification
SICKNESS: In the nails
After three draws and a defeat to (not) start the season, the Maladrerie woke up quite spectacularly. The Maladians have won five of their last seven games before the holidays. “It’s a satisfactory first part of the season, judge Frank Dechaume. The group had moved a lot in a year and a half. He needed a competitive outfit. It was felt in the first games, since we had trouble getting started. On a chain then on a very beautiful series. “
Third in the standings two lengths behind Flers, who beat her in the last match, the MOS is clearly in its starting target. “Four, five teams hope to grab second place and go up,” recalls the Caen coach. We can see that everything must align to be competitive. It’s not just the desire or the goal that determines that. Consistency will be important. La Maladrerie will try to score a few more goals in the second half of the season.
We were scoring more the years before, but we conceded a lot of goals. I’m someone who prefers to win 5-4 than 1-0, but you had to stop taking so many goals. It’s up to us to find the right ratio.
ASPTT CAEN: A slow motion attack
The first part of the season left Laurent Dufour with a mixed feeling. “We didn’t get the results we would have liked because we didn’t score enough goals. It is the disappointment. “With nine goals conceded, the ASPTT Caen is the best defense in the championship. But it is also the worst attack of the first half of the table (14 goals scored).
We lacked a little talent and efficiency. We did not perform well enough in the offensive animation.
The objective of the return phase is therefore straightforward: “to score more goals” This requires realism in the area as much as being more often dangerous. “We have to put things in order: keep this solidity, which is also thanks to the attackers who provide a lot of effort in what we ask for on the defensive aspect, and find a better animation offensive. “In ten games *, the ASPTT Caen has a record of four wins, four draws and two defeats.
* The match won against Deauville is to be replayed. The club appealed.
MONDEVILLE: Too many dummies to be at the top
Eager to “think in terms of a project”, a project “completely different from previous years”, Mondeville does not want to stop at the results alone. “Time must do its work”, emphasizes Thierry Traoré. It prevents that…
We would have liked to be a little more efficient and turn our draws into victories. If we had done so, we would be second behind Gonfreville.
Mondeville has lost only once this season but conceded five draws. No need, however, to have “more regrets than necessary”. The USONM is progressing and this is the essential point. It remains to be seen where it can lead, the team being sixth seven points behind Flers… and two games less. “We hope to finish as high as possible. Second place is not a priority objective. We must focus on the stages that appear on our path. If we manage to solve everything we have to solve, we will end up at the top. We want to win, but not just any old way. ”
