The reserve teamASPTT Caen conceded his second defeat in a row, Saturday, October 1, 2022 against the SU Dives-Cabourg Bnow the only leader in the Regional 2 classification (1-2). Samuel Desgrippesthe coach of the Postal Workers, expressed all his frustration at the end of the debates.
Samuel Desgrippes, ASPTT Caen B coach: “It’s a big frustration and a big disappointment because it’s a game that we control overall. We created a multitude of clear chances without succeeding in concretizing by clumsiness. And the fact of not scoring gave confidence to our opponent who punished us on his first opportunity (by Alexandre Lapisse, editor’s note), on which we defend very badly, if we can talk about defending…
We have, just before half-time, a very big chance to equalize but three meters from goal, we find a way to shoot at the defender when there is no longer a goalkeeper. In the second half, we accentuated our domination with still big unrealized opportunities. Dives arches his back and is dangerous on two, three set pieces. On one of them, my goalkeeper made a mistake in his assessment of the trajectory and was overtaken by Selim Besri.
We continued to play and push, unfortunately, we reduced the score late (by Clément Riou, editor’s note). However, the stoppages will turn into total incomprehension of the public, the actors and the coaches. 92nd: we equalize following a free kick rejected by Gaylor Leplé well followed by my player. But refused for offside while there is their goalkeeper and a defender at the post… The assistant maintains that there is not one but two offsides… Hard to swallow. 94th: hand in the box, but prefers to signal hand outside the box, as we are in the 94th minute. And an indirect free kick, please…
We shouldn’t blame ourselves, because we have to take our chances so that there is no debate, but it is sometimes difficult to understand certain decisions. »
