Le Mans FC want to revive against Bastia Borgo

Le Mans FC finds Bastia and wants to restart the machine. Beaten 10 days ago by the Corsicans of the Bastia Sporting club, the footballers from Le Mans are welcoming Bastia Borgo this time on behalf of the 21st day of National. The Sangs et Or, who are 3 points from the podium, hope to win to revive and stay in the race to climb into League 2.

The Captain’s Return

The training under a downpour did not in any case shower the desires of Le Mans footballers. “I don’t mind, I like to play in the rain!“have fun Pierre Lemonnier. The blood and gold captain, all smiles, is back from the hurt. After a month of absence, he will regain his place in defense and may be to breathe new life into the team. “I’m fine. I worked a lot with the physical trainers. The sensations are good. After we will see in match …“.

Even if the defeat in the last match against Sporting club de Bastia put a little blow to the morale of the blood and gold, who find themselves again behind 3 points from the podium, the state of mind is encouraging according to defender Manceau. “We have felt for some time that each player is ready to tear themselves away for the other and that is decisive. This is what can make the difference“.

Still in the race to move up to League 2

This new state of mind, with a more united group in difficult times, could be essential to manage the last third of the championship well. “We are not far” remember the coach Didier Ollé-Nicolle. “Quevilly made a small hole but one or two losses and everything has to be redone. We are only at 3 points. Today I think there are 5 or 6 teams that can still grab the second and third places“.

But to grab the podium, you have to manage the home games well. Le Mans FC are playing two in a row. Refueling points is a necessity for the Le Mans coach. The Le Mans team must also prove to be more effective in attack.

Recurring difficulties in attack

With only 22 goals scored this season, almost half less than Sporting club bastiais, Le Mans FC is in 9th place in this area. “We have to be better in the last 30 meters“recognizes Pierre Lemonnier. But with their new recruit, striker Jean Philippe Krasso, the blood and gold hope to finally take a step and start against Bastia a series of successes.

The group : Guardians: Aymes, Boss. Defense: Veigneau, Youssouf, Costa, Choplin, Lemonnier. Midfield: Coulibaly, Bernauer, Avounou. Attack: Gimbert, Tomi, Brahimi, Bègue, Krasso, Aïko, Donisa.

Le Mans FC – Bastia Borgo, Friday February 19, 2021. Kick-off at 6 pm at the MMArena. Closed game.
