The Chartrains had a test match, this Friday August 5, on the Le Mans lawn of the Marie-Marvingt stadium (ex-MMArena).
Winners 3-1 of Le Mans FC, the men of Jean-Pierre Papin leave Sarthe with certainties that they had struggled to find after their first three successes in preparation (3-1 in Beauvais (N2) , 3-0 against Créteil (N2) and 3-2 against the PetrusFlo selection).
C’Chartres on the road to Le Mans
Faced with a National opponent of a completely different caliber than his previous opponents, Clément Chantôme’s partners were able to bend without breaking during a first half clearly to the advantage of the locals, who in addition to evolving a floor above the CCF, finished with their preparation (marked with two victories and three defeats).
Doubled by Gouletquer
Because even if they ended up conceding the opening of the score by the Sarthois central defender Polla on a corner of Fadiga (1-0), the Chartrains can thank the sense of welcome of Fhad El Khoumisti. The best player of the National last season indeed offered to miss five clear chances during the first half hour. “We had a difficult start but we ended up putting our foot back on the ball and it got better afterwards. We were able to organize ourselves and find our attackers. We are gaining momentum: this match does us good, ”noted Jean-Pierre Papin, the CCF coach at the end of the match.
If success sometimes hangs by a thread, it is clear that his team has demonstrated real strength of character, returning to the heights, on a combination worked on in training and concluded by the new captain, Clément Chantôme (1 -1, 43′).
When they returned from the locker room, the visitors managed to drive the point home on a combination led by Diakhaby then by Gagnon, unbalanced by the Le Mans goalkeeper Kocik. Former Manceau Alexis Gouletquer converted with a reckless panenka (1-2, 47′). Then, while the Le Mans waves were slow to break on Crépel’s goal, this same Gouletquer was found in space by Diakhaby to seal the victory for the visitors (1-3, 71 ‘).
With four successes in as many meetings, the Chartrains are in orbit awaiting the next test: the reception of Fleury (N2), from Tuesday.
