After the offensive demonstration against Nîmes (3-0), it is still the kind of match that will leave Paris FC supporters with regret. Yes, there were real ball players in this team this season and the attacking potential was there… For a few weeks, Kebbal, Boutaïb and Guilavogui have been entertaining and putting on a show. But due to Thierry Laurey’s choices for Kebbal and his injury for Boutaïb, they could only be fielded together very recently.
Guilavogui’s masterpiece
Saturday in Metz, Paris FC certainly succeeded in the action of this 33rd day of L2. On an opening by Maxime Bernauer, Morgan Guilavogui offered himself a double one-two, with Kebbal then with Boutaïb, all in one touch of the ball, before finishing with a curled shot in the skylight of Oukidja (0-1 , 13th). The Guinean international’s 14th goal of the season is sumptuous.
But there are only five games left for Paris FC supporters to take advantage of their attacking trio. The leaders should not be able to exercise the option to buy the loan by Reims (L1) from Ilan Kebbal, Morgan Guilavogui will certainly be transferred to L1 or abroad and Khalid Boutaïb, 36, is coming to the end of the contract . If Pierre-Yves Hamel and Warren Caddy will still be under contract next season, the Parisian leaders will have to rebuild a whole attack. And it’s a shame given the complementarity displayed by the front three. But all that comes too late…
Beyond the offensive aspect, the overall performance achieved by Paris FC in Metz can also leave regrets. When you are able to upset Messins, undefeated for 20 games and fighting for 2nd place, in front of 20,000 spectators at Saint-Symphorien, you also say to yourself that this Parisian team was better than its current pale 10th place. Given the quality of the workforce, there was really room to do much better this season.
“Whoever comes in flip flops will not see the end of the season”
The goalkeeper position will also be one of the questions for next season. But the many parades made at the end of the match by Vincent Demarconnay, 40 years old since April, shows that he can still evolve at a very high level. For the moment, the goalkeeper, who will be able to benefit from a retraining at the club, has not yet announced anything for the future. But many would like to see him leave for a 16th season at Paris FC…
“Our goalkeeper did the job at the end of the match, comments Thierry Laurey. We scored a sumptuous goal and we held on well. Taking a point from a leading team in a great atmosphere is still a good result. We had already drawn with the leader Le Havre who will go up to L1. We have quality but this season, we have had matches on our own. I have already repeated it: We did not do the season we wanted to do. But I want us to do the end of the season that I would like us to do… It will be the same until the end. Players are warned. Whoever comes in flip flops will not see the end of the season. »
