What is a football game often played? “Not much”, as Jean-Pierre Papin confided, after the bitter defeat on Saturday night at Couvret, against Rouen (1-2). Normans who knew how to be opportunistic, realistic too, when C’Chartres Football thought to hold its second success at home, after that acquired during the opening of the championship against Granville (2-1).
Chartres hits twice the amounts
Sometimes it is played out in small details or, like Saturday night, a few centimeters, the size of an amount. Just like this perfectly wound strike from the middle Mehdi Haddadou who found the edge of Monteiro’s cage. It could have been 2-0 for Chartres at the hour mark. But twenty minutes later, everything had to be done again for Arnaud Archimbaud’s teammates who were caught in the scoring (1-1, 80 ‘).
The declaration of Jean-Pierre Papin after Rouen, the live of the meeting
On an overflow of the re-entrant Salhoune, the latter returned to the penalty spot for the other replacement Barthélémy who saw his missile, deflected by a Chartreuse leg, crashing on the bar of Crépel. But when the ball fell, Bella, the 20-year-old Cameroonian loaned by Reims, did not ask herself a question and her uncrossed recovery at ground level hit the mark. An amount on each side but one had been favorable to Rouen. And it was not over yet.
“We must be more efficient, more aggressive in the two zones of truth”
The scoumoune was going to pursue the JPP proteges since, in the wake of the seinomarine equalizer, the CCF Louzif side defender, seeing the forward FCR goalkeeper, tried his luck from 20 meters… His shot hit the upright (82 ‘). Height of misfortune, almost against, Salhoune, again, passed the Chartres rearguard in review to drive the point home (1-2, 84 ‘).
Was it bad luck for Chartres? A little yes, but also to far too many defensive largesse, as Kader Chehida, Papin’s assistant confided. “The scenario is hard because the players fought but we have to be more efficient, more aggressive in the two zones of truth! We sometimes lack maturity at key moments. “
Reaction expected in Vitré on Saturday
The key moments are in particular the end of the matches. Facing Granville, Chartres had experienced a free warning, Crépel saving the house twice. Facing Romorantin, the CCF had already been crucified in the 84th minute, after having opened the scoring again.
After this new failure, Chartres is now obliged to win, from Saturday, in Vitré, dead last with three defeats, to avoid seeing the leading teams take off a little further. History also to regain confidence before receiving the client Versailles and the ex-Chartrains Ludovic Fardin, Kapit Djoco and Bissourou Touré who scored one of the three goals of the Yvelinois on Saturday in Guingamp (0-3).
