On February 10, the Paris FC – Amiens match was postponed due to the catastrophic state of Charléty’s pitch. Two days before, the huge holes and clods torn out during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France match against Annecy, had given a rather deplorable image.
After laying a 3,500 m2 plate, the surface finally looks like a real lawn. For the moment, it has held up well during the two Paris FC L2 matches (February 25 against Niort and March 4 against Guingamp) and that of women’s D1 against Montpellier on Saturday. This week, the Parisian club will play Charléty twice, their late match against Amiens on Tuesday, then against SC Bastia on Saturday.
With a team a little more offensive than usual, the rebirth of Ilan Kebbal (2 goals in the last 3 games) since he finally has a lot of playing time, the good pass (4 goals in the 3 last games) by Morgan Guilavogui and a newfound efficiency (2 shots on target, 2 goals), Paris FC won the game that they should not lose on Saturday in Laval (2-1).
These two home games in four days offer him the opportunity to definitively leave the dangerous zone of the classification. But for that, he will have to achieve a first this season: to chain two consecutive victories, which has never happened to him before.
“We need to chain a series”
“Against Amiens, we inevitably have the opportunity to take points from the other teams because they are not playing, warns Thierry Laurey. It’s an important game for us. We have to chain a series to take a certain margin with the teams behind. Even if we have the ambition to return to the first part of the table, today, we are not there and it is obvious that we are also looking behind, even if we must not, either, blacken too much table… “
With this week with three games, the staff who had wanted to bring “dynamism and freshness” Saturday to Laval, should rotate its workforce. On the bench in Laval, Paul Lasne should start against Amiens.
