This Saturday against Toulouse, Frantzdy Pierrot scored his fifth goal in his last four games. The attacker is full of confidence and it shows in his game. He does not hesitate to dezone to get balls, especially on the left side and combine with his partners. Its role as a fulcrum on the attack front is very valuable on the Costa-Rican side. It was he who scored the first goal of the game (25 ‘) with a perfectly uncrossed header in Dupé’s right window (0-1). The Haitian celebrates in front of the Brice Taton bend. The Toulouse ultras go down near the lawn, seeing a room on his part. “It’s not trash-talking, I didn’t say anything,” explains the scorer of the day. But I understand, I marked they are pissed off. It doesn’t bother me, the supporters are like that ”.
Objects fly on the lawn, without touching a player, fortunately. Back to the game and Pierrot is once again in the spotlight. On a ball in the depth, he passes in front of Nicolaisen, who pushes him. A very contentious action but the referee, Nicolas Rainville, does not flinch. On returning from the locker room, he continues to be dangerous. He tears off to center towards Livolant who touches the post (54 ‘). Just after the equalization of the premises, his head went slightly above (60 ‘). In all the good shots, it is he who requests Dupé with a heavy strike at a closed angle (71 ‘). On the second goal (88 ‘), his ball retention allows him to pass to M’Changama and get a deserved point. His athletic presence and his movements also weighed heavily on the Toulouse defense.
Pierrot’s playstyle evolves
His trainer Stéphane Dumont praises his work for being more than a simple pivot: “We try to give him a wider pallet so that he is not just a point of fixation, like the last goal where he dives. in the left hallway. He is rewarded ”. The person confirms: “I did not want to stay too much in the middle and dismiss. I can move left, right, like that, it’s easier for my teammates ”.
Main consequence of his many trips to the front of the attack: the technical relationship that has been forged with playmaker Youssouf M’Changama. The latter approves: “This is our third year together so it is logical that automatisms are created”. “I am confident and Youss’me gives good balls, we will continue like that”, replies his partner. Who perfectly returned his initial offering by sending him a pass that the Comorian midfielder transformed into a magnificent goal, with a strike from 25 meters without control, at the left corner of the surface. The two Guingampais are in great shape and carry their partners in their wake. It remains to improve this point brought back from the lair of the Toulouse leader with a victory against Bastia, the next opponent of the Rouge et Noir.
