Too soft in attack, then crucified in the last minutes of the match, VAFC suffered a furious defeat in Grenoble. Even though the victory was difficult to play, a draw could have been achieved without this small moment of hesitation.
The impact of the result
All good things come to an end, but this is a bit bitter. Not that Grenoble’s defeat was cruel, but regrets can be pinned on what Valenciennes showed in the Alps. Facing Sochaux or Guingamp recently, VA has been able to build its success with strength and intelligence. At the Stade des Alpes it is difficult to recognize the VAFC. Unable to make a difference in attack, Nicolas Rabuel’s men could have changed the game by the hour, but the Grenoble post disagrees. Crucified at the end of the match for a flash of genius, VA has only eyes to cry and leaves empty-handed from his long journey.

He could have unlocked the situation before Grenoble, unfortunately luck did not return in favorUgo Bonnet. Ideally served by Noah Diliberto, the former Rodez player hit Maubleu’s post just before the hour (58 ‘). Apart from this golden opportunity, the Valencian striker has been very active on the offensive front, with many points ahead.
The statement
“It’s cruel, football is cruel sometimes. It is also a story of efficiency, we have 3-4 good situations, we don’t mark them. They have half a chance, they mark it. We are not paid well enough compared to what we did in the second half. Apart from a few long shots, we didn’t concede much. We were pretty low in the first half, it was a bit better in the second. The post is the turning point. It takes a share of success between an incoming post and an outgoing post. “
