Le Parisien invites you to take a tour of the football program in Île-de-France. It starts this Friday evening with Red Star and Versailles playing at home in National. In National 2, Racing (group A), Lusitanos Saint-Maur, Sainte-Geneviève and Créteil (group B) will also play at home. In National 3, Drancy and his new trainer will receive the 2nd Vitry.
The poster of the weekend: Red Star – Le Mans in a sold-out Bauer
Recovered to 2nd place in the National thanks to their victory against Sedan (2-1), the Red Star chained a 2nd game in a row at home against Le Mans of Reginald Ray who revived by beating Concarneau on Monday (3-2) . After the match behind closed doors against Châteauroux and a partial closed session (a closed stand) against Sedan, the Bauer stadium will be sold out. Best defense in the championship (15 goals conceded) and 2nd attack (29 goals scored), Habib Beye’s team will nevertheless have to be wary of this Le Mans team against which it has never won in National (2 losses, 3 null). Red Star’s last victory against Le Mans even dates back… to 1998 in L2.
On the Red Star side, Achille Anani (injured) will be absent while transfer window rookie Merwan Ifnaoui was not retained in the group.
The question: Will Versailles bounce back against Orléans?
With a draw against the relegated Le Puy (1-1) and a defeat at Bourg-en-Bresse (3-1), Versailles lost its place as National leader. A little worse when Cris was undefeated until then since his arrival on the bench. Pressure from the leader? “I don’t see it that way,” Cris replies. We have an experienced team. Afterwards, we only remained leaders for two days, so that doesn’t mean anything. We know very well that a defeat or a draw can change the ranking. We were 1st, we are 3rd, it does not change much. We are always there, we are present. »
The reception of Orléans (10th), this Friday at the Jean-Bouin stadium, will allow us to see how this team where, curiously, the departure of Kapit Djoco, its top scorer, for SC Bastia (L2) during the transfer window, did not has not been compensated will be able to rebound. Pham Ba (injured), Dossevi, Brun, Vieira, Armand, Lapis, and Gibaud (choice) are absent.
The number: 5
The sanction of Christophe Taine, the coach of FC 93 Bobigny after his expulsion against Wasquehal on January 21, linked to a scuffle with an opposing manager who entered the field. Also expelled during this game, goalkeeper Marvin Golotin was also suspended for five games. Christophe Taine, suspended as a precaution for the last match at Saint-Quentin (2-1), will therefore have to stay away from the sidelines for the next four meetings of his team, 2nd in group B of National 2 and which hosts Besançon this Saturday (6 p.m.).
Player to watch: Yannis Ouhammou (Saint-Maur Lusitanos)
Eighth in group B of National 2, Saint-Maur Lusitanos receives Saint-Quentin this Saturday (6 p.m.). He can count on his new striker Yannis Ouhammou. Arriving at the Lusitanos during the January transfer window, Ouhammou did not miss his debut. For his third match, the 26-year-old striker scored twice on Saturday at Wasquehal (3-1). He started the season with Toulon (11 games, 1 goal). Trained in Caen, Ouhammou had his best seasons in 2017-2018 (12 goals with Chartres) and 2021-2022 (11 goals with Romorantin). He also had experience in Spain, at Club Polideportivo El Ejido (3rd division) in 2018-2019 (11 games). At the Lusitanos, he reunited with Yann Lachuer, whom he had already had as a coach at Romorantin. “The presence of the coach, Yann Lachuer, was important, explains the 26-year-old player. Just like some friends like Hugo (Cointard), Nordine (Benaries) or even Samir (Bakir), Mathis (Thévenin) and Jonathan (Beaulieu). It’s nice to find a healthy and coherent environment. Humanly, I feel that I can take pleasure”,
News of the week: Himed Hamma has replaced Philippe Lemaitre at Drancy
Little revolution in Drancy. In office since the 2019-2020 season, Philippe Lemaitre was dismissed on Tuesday evening from his position as coach of the current 13th in National 3. President Alain Melaye chose Himed Hamma to replace him. After two and a half seasons (June 2019-January 2022) at Bobigny in National 2, Hamma, former coach of the Drancy U19s, returned to the club as technical director this season. After having been very close to joining Créteil as assistant to Stéphane Masala, he therefore found a bench with the mission of keeping Drancy in N2. With a first match this Saturday afternoon (3 p.m.) against Vitry, 2nd and who has just beaten the leader Aubervilliers, he will be placed right from the start.
