In the Paris FC locker room the disappointment was palpable. The players focus on Fontaine‘s incredible equalizer in the 94th minute. A blow that ruined the party as the 3rd place held out their arms in a Charléty stadium that exceeded the capacity record of 8,002 spectators for a PFC match.
“We played our free kick badly in their field, we are badly positioned but I think there is no corner,” regretted Samuel Yohou. The climb to Douchez bothered us a bit. And while we have numerical superiority, Fontaine finds himself alone… It’s a small mistake. It hurts but we have to put it into perspective. We can only be proud of our journey and the match played. After the 4-0 in Orléans (end of August) we raised our heads again. We have a better defense, we are still undefeated at home. We have to move forward. »
While waiting for Saturday’s match against Lorient, Paris FC will certainly finish the first leg in at least 5th place. After Perraud‘s new shot (his 3rd goal with a shot from outside the area into the top corner), Douchez’s save on Wamangituka’s head (84th) was decisive. “If we had won against Red Star, our first part of the season would have been exceptional,” acknowledges Mécha Bazdarevic. We should have gone 2-0, especially with 11 against 10. But we have to remember where we came from. Six important players left and we had many difficulties. So I can only congratulate the boys for this first part of the season. There are many positive aspects. »
This is also the feeling of Demarconnay, who arrived a few seconds from 13th place clean sheet in 18 games. “Obviously it’s annoying to equalize at the last second,” admits the Paris FC goalkeeper. I’m disappointed for our fans. But I’d rather be in our place than in Red Star’s… This loser doesn’t question anything. When it’s hot we’re obviously a little nervous but this first phase is largely successful. With the change in personnel, the numerous departures, if they had told us that we would have scored 32 points at halftime, we would have signed immediately. »
Paris FC has shown that it can be ambitious in the second half of the season. A striker is expected to support Wamangituka’s revelation. “In any case I will ask my leaders for reinforcements,” smiles Bazdarevic.
