No harm seemed to be able to affect the Columérins who had become serene yesterday afternoon. Like the very aptly named defector from Béziers, author, in the space of three short minutes, of two goals, including the second, a true copy of the fabulous “Papinades” signed by the icon of the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, thirty years ago of that. Serene but not yet sufficiently sovereign, the proteges of Patrice Maurel, who, an hour later, will deplore the trend reversal that has occurred at their expense: “Yes, it is more annoying to be joined after leading the score than the ‘reverse. What do you want, it shows that there is still work to be done, mistakes to be erased, concentration to be kept from start to finish. “
Among which, this unfortunate propensity to revive an opponent from Vendée who did not ask for so much: “They are good players who form a good team”, recognized the same Patrice Maurel. Thus, moved by the sole desire to initiate a well-constructed movement, “Titi” Argelier lost the ball to a Dominique Pandor whom he then mowed down. We can guess the rest: penalty, reduction of the score (2-1), the outlines of a scenario favorable to visitors have emerged with more and more clarity even though the locals have had the opportunity to take a little break. after the hour of play, the post saving Jules Rolland from a new setback.
“I think that physically, we were superior after having been in suffering because of the neutralization of our midfield”, analyzed for his part Stéphane Masala, the Herbretais mentor whose coaching, to say the least, will remain as one of the turning points. major points of this pleasant confrontation. Still, by returning courtesy to Mathias Serin with an equally splendid strike, Assoumin restored the fragile balance. For good: 2-2. A result which, on both sides, refers to the famous dialectic of glass, which is half full, which is half empty. “We must rely on this first act during which the instructions were perfectly applied, knowing that little by little, the players will find the necessary rhythm”, concludes Patrice Maurel.
