[J2] Amiens SC – Annecy: tops and flops
Stressed as ever, Amiens SC offered a sad spectacle for their first outing of the season at home, Saturday against Annecy (1-0). However, the Picards come out of this match with the three points, one of the rare positive points to reveal from this confrontation against the Hauts-Savoyards. Check out our tops and flops of this 2nd day of Ligue 2.
The hights
The three dots
Author of a laborious match in many aspects, Amiens SC still managed to take the three points thanks to the first goal of the season Tolu Arokodare in the 82nd minute of play. A success that was difficult to envisage for a long time in view of the first hour of play for the Amiens, arousing the disappointment of the supporters present at the stadium. What bring them to accompany the 22 actors under a real broncha at the end of the first period. And if victory remains essential in football, the sad spectacle offered is not likely to be forgotten anytime soon.
A very good starter from Gomis
Coming into play as soon as half-time returns in place of Doums Fofana, iron gomis delivered a solid performance, notably delivering the decisive pass on the only goal of the game. First behind the two attackers then in the left lane, the midfielder trained at the club was involved in practically all the Picardy offensives in the second half. His movements between the lines and his calls for the ball did the Amiens collective good, which was sorely deprived of it during the first actor. A sure shot one of the great architects of this success.
The flops
80 minutes in hell
A week after their heavy inaugural defeat in Metz (3-0), Amiens SC knew they had to bounce back at home against Annecy, a promoted player who looked like the ideal prey to regain confidence. If the accounting result is there, you will have to go back for the way. Not putting one foot in front of the other in the first period, the Picards were unable to prevent the Hauts-Savoyards from taking control of the game (57 against 43% possession). With 0 shots attempted at half-time, Amiens even achieved its “ worst first half“Since the arrival of Philippe Hinschberger at the club, by the admission of the principal concerned. Visibly in a parallel dimension, the speaker called for an ovation for the players of Amiens SC at the whistle. A request as lunar as the technical level of certain actors with the status of professional player.
Bianchini misses his chance
In balance with Jose Chibozo to accompany Tolu Arokodare on the front of the attack, Florian Bianchini was no doubt hoping to surf on the dynamics of his good entry into Metz, it was not. Disconnected from the collective, the player loaned to Avranches last season has never been in the same tempo as his partners, as evidenced by his three offside positions and the eight loss of balls on his 16 balls touched. With a disturbing tactical naivety, he paid the price for Philippe Hinschberger’s reshuffle with three changes as soon as he returned from the locker room. And if Josué Chibozo had the merit of sounding the revolt for 20 minutes, the Beninese quickly died out. Further proof of the cruel lack of depth of the Amiens offensive sector.
