Is the title of National possible?
This season, the duel for the rise in Ligue 2 promises to be much tighter than usual. For many teams in competition, the dream remains, while each of these formations alternate between good and less good performances. Today, training with the wind in its sails is in Annecy, and all dreams are allowed there.
A few weeks ago, FC Annecy was in 4th place in the National Championship, and lost precious points behind Concarneau and Laval at the top of the competition. The Annecy training aimed to maintain it at the start of the season, and like Strasbourg in Ligue 1, the team’s staff does not want to get carried away when the fall can still take place when we observe the number of matches that remain to be played. Despite the obvious outperformance of this team, can Annecy get Laval at the top of the championship?
A calendar that makes the exploit possible
When FC Annecy chained draws, and approached the soft underbelly made up of Châteauroux, Sedan, or even Stade Briochin, the scenarios during deviated the Reds climbed into the top 2 of National were few. Today, this position is a reality, and Alexy Bosetti’s partners are only 5 points behind the leader. Naturally, the three consecutive victories acquired against Villefranche, Bastia-Borgo and Chôlet clearly done good on Annecy’s balance sheet.
Very soon, the month of April could become historic if this series of victories continues. Avranches, Le Mans, Créteil, Châteauroux, and Sète feature on the program for this crucial month, when the competitors are not so lucky. In effect, Laval and Concarneau, the two great opponents of Annecy, will face each other on April 18. Depending on the result of the game, and the current form of the game of Laurent Guyot’s team, this moment of the season could tip Annecy to the top of the championshipmore than ever close to a possible rise in Ligue 2.
