As expected, Stéphane Moulin conducted a large squad review against the Chamois Niortais. Holders in Nîmes, last Sunday, only Romain Thomas was present at the kickoff. Cabot, Bobichon or Capelle, back from injury, played the entire game, while Alioui has stored up playing time and confidence.
A turnover that allowed young Taïbi, Ould Khaled (90 minutes each) and Boma (45) to compete against a benchmark opponent, not on the L2 podium for nothing. Conversely, such changes have caused the Angevin collective to procrastinate too much. I had said that I would hide the result because I suspected that we would lack cohesion. But we made too many mistakes
, regrets Stéphane Moulin. The Sco offered three goals to their opponent. Including the first, from the 15e second, when Kemen took advantage of a poor rebate from Bamba to quietly adjust Butelle (1-0 ‘).

If Baroan also took advantage of the largesse of the Angevin defense to allow his family to return to the front (2-1, 57 ‘), the Sco proved to be responsive, coming back twice to score, thanks to goals from Diony (1.1, 18 ‘), with a small dive (18’), and Alioui, after a nice feint that sent two Niortais into the background (2-1, 68 ‘).
As soon as he came into play, the very young Cho took advantage of this friendly meeting to score points and a goal again (3-2, 80 ‘). But Boutobba reset the counters to 0, following a new misunderstanding in the Angevin defense (3-3, 83 ‘). “Some have shown great things while for others, it is more difficult, believes the Angevin coach. It means that there is work to find a homogeneous overall level. “
