Thierry Sardo’s men are on a series of high-stakes meetings for the rest of their season and, above all, with a view to obtaining the ticket to stay in N3. After having put Tartas perfectly out of reach on January 22, thanks to a fine 3-1 victory at Claude-Boué, and before the late match against Châtellerault on February 5, the Uacistes will make a stopover in Anglet, Saturday January 29 (19 hours). An adversary in perfect equality with the Cognaçais: after 13 days, the two teams have 17 points (5 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats), even if the goal difference gives a slight advantage to the Basques. And the first leg goes in this direction, since they had left with a draw (1-1), September 11th.

Thierry Sardo remembers an opponent against whom his players had competed after a stormy start to the season. “We had led in the score, they (the Basques, editor’s note) had equalized before half-time and we had had a decent second half”. The UAC coach lists two strengths in the Angloys, who have “two good recoverers and players with size”.

Missing executives

Sardo will also be vigilant on set pieces and on opposing headers. “We will have to apply ourselves in the last gestures, something that we did not do perfectly against Tartas last weekend”, he continues. It is therefore with the idea of ​​bringing back a few points that the Charentais approach this meeting.

“There is a much better atmosphere in the group than at the start of the season and a message from the staff is better understood”

“If we can beat them, we won’t hesitate! This would allow us to continue our rise in the standings. ” Cognac therefore gives itself the right to be ambitious, thanks in particular to “a much better atmosphere in the group than at the start of the season and a better understood message from the staff”. Only small downside, the injuries of key players: Liassidji, touched against Tartas, should be unavailable, just like Zeoula. Limousin, meanwhile, should be able to hold their place in central defense, while Bernal and Kaba should return.
