Soccer. N2: before Rouen, Vannes looks upwards
N2. Rouen – Vannes OC, this Friday (7 p.m.)
Strong of two consecutive winsthe CO valves returned to three points from the podium before a trip to Rouen in an early game of the 19th day.
The Vannetais left Thursday afternoon for Normandy, where they will play, for once, on a Friday due to the Ligue 2 match between Quevilly-Rouen and Valenciennes being held on Saturday at the Robert-Diochon stadium.
A pace of champion outside
If successful, Vannes would temporarily climb to third place. And recent results show that this hypothesis is possible. Second best away team (18 points taken in nine games), the Voc are very comfortable when it comes to moving around and hope to confirm this with Rouennais in difficulty in their stadium (one success in seven games ).
“We have won four of our last six games. Inevitably, we replaced each other, we distanced ourselves from the bottom of the table. We gave ourselves a comfortable mattress. We are in the right car but we have to continue to stay there, ”recalls Pierre Talmont.
Duclovel back in the middle?
The Vannes coach can count on a strong group, especially in attack with Persico, Henry and Ebrard, all of whom have been decisive in recent weeks. “We have a lot of people in the offensive field. We see that the sessions are better, that there is competition. We try to be fair in the choices ”, underlines Talmont, who could again align the usual side Duclevel in a right midfield role. For their part, N’Sondé, Ngoubou and Salibur remained in Brittany. As for Jianinn Berenice, suspended last weekend, he is back.
The Vannes group: Petrel, Noubi – Duclovel, Lavenant, Lescot, Berenice, Nakassila, Ebane – Daury, Yobé, Mama, Quintin – Persico (cap), Ebrard, Henry, Kouassi. Trainer: Pierre Talmont.
