Ligue 2: reduced to nine, Paris FC holds the shock in Sochaux

by time news

Pierre-Yves Hamel collapses, drunk with fatigue, on the lawn of Bonal. Like his Paris FC teammates, the former Lorient striker went after himself. If he had no balls in the area to exploit, he was invaluable in his ability to keep the ball and in defense thanks to his heading game. Given the scenario of the match, Paris FC, which finished at … nine (two reds), can be satisfied with this point taken from another contender for the rise in L1. He couldn’t reasonably have hoped for better. But he will have to show another face on Saturday against Quevilly RM in terms of play.

What you must remember

The big mistake from the 1st minute by goalkeeper Ivan Filipovic, who was totally torn on his dribble, had set the tone for a rather nightmarish first half for Paris FC. Incidentally, this inconsequential hesitation revives the debate on number 1 with Vincent Demarconnay absent in Sochaux (covid). From the 12th minute, Lebobang Phiri, the South African international on loan from Rizespor (D1 Turkey), one of the four recruits lined up at the start by Thierry Laurey, had to come out, hit in the calf. Author of a poorly controlled tackle on Mauricio, Cyril Mandouki, the Parisian captain was then expelled (37th).

At ten, Paris FC logically evolves in a very low block and leaves the ball to the Sochaliens. But apart from a little scare on a goal disallowed (rightly) for offside to Sissoko (62nd) and a strike from Weissbeck above (72nd), the Parisians defended well. After a dispute, Julien Lopez, who already had a yellow, is even expelled (90th) and lets his teammates finish the match at nine during five minutes of additional time. The Marseillais takes a huge breather from Laurey. The gaze of Lopez in the direction of his trainer says it all… The last minutes are unbreathable for the Parisians. The first shot on target of the match comes in the 90th + 2 on an attempt by Amougoum well captured by Filipovic. But Paris FC resisted well. He showed tremendous solidarity. It’s already that.

The player: Maxime Bernauer

Most often used as a right-back last season, Maxime Bernauer should evolve more in the center of defense this season with the arrival of Julien Le Cardinal (SC Bastia). The former Le Mans player made a faultless match with Samir Chergui. Bernauer symbolized the fine defensive spirit displayed by his team at Sochaux.

The number: 2

The number of red cards taken by Paris FC during this match at Sochaux. It’s already as much as during the whole of last season with Gaëtan Laura at AC Ajaccio in September and Moustapha Name (during the play-offs).

The reaction

“At nine, I’m happy to take a point. This is the point of self-denial. It’s a good result even if it could have been better playing eleven. The boys had a great game in the spirit as I expected. We weren’t put in too much danger but we would have had to finish at 11 to hope for better. We knew that physically we weren’t quite ready so it’s good for morale to resist like that. . On the red card of Julien (Lopez), I can only be angry. I had warned him, the referee too, but he has to talk all the time when he already had a yellow. We have to be much more professional. I have nothing against Julien. But I’ve been telling him to stop talking for a year. He sought, he found and was taken. As much as Cyril’s red (Mandouki) which is a clumsy gesture, I can tolerate it but not that… We were already at ten, we didn’t need to be at 9. It’s up to Julien to be forgiven now… ”
