Ligue 2 (12th day). Nancy – Guingamp: 2-1
The opportunity was beautiful, however. Faced with the last – orphans of Nancy with the slightest success from the start and scammed by an interim coach without any visibility (in this case Benoît Pedretti) – the victory was even set up as an obligation on Saturday. “I do not know if it is a waste, breath Stéphane Dumont, the Guingampais coach, after the defeat (2-1). But we got what we deserve. This is what happens when we don’t put in enough commitment, when we don’t do the right thing, when we do things halfway. They forced fate ”.
“We are too irregular”
Happy on the goal (knee) of Carnot (17 ‘), the Guingampais were inattentive on the equalizer of the Lorraine, Akichi finding too easily the head of Triboulet (59’). They were no more inspired when Simoes quietly stepped forward, found the post, and allowed Jung to deliver an unexpected victory to his team (1-2, 87 ‘). “We gave them this second goal, regrets Stéphane Dumont. On these actions, more communication is needed. We are too irregular lately ”.
At eleven against ten for a quarter of an hour, it was screaming. The Costarmoricans didn’t do enough, even though M’Changama’s stretcher ride seemed to piss them off (the captain complained about the liver but performed reassuring exams after the game).
“We ran out of energy”
“We did not put the intensity necessary to win a match, especially in the second half, continues Stéphane Dumont. It lacked energy, impact, commitment, accuracy with the ball. Five minutes from the end, he had to be taken, that point ”.
Roux (79 ‘) and Phaëton (90’ + 1), on two free kicks from Carnot, could certainly have saved him. But that doesn’t take away from that nagging feeling that the opportunity was great. Too good, no doubt, after the success obtained on Rodez before the truce and an overall serenity. “I’ve been saying it from the start, we don’t have a margin. But, even with an average match, we had to take this point. Yannick (Gomis) found the bar (19 ‘), we can also equalize in stoppage time (Phaëton, 91’) ”. The EAG coach sums it up with one stroke: “It’s frustrating”. On Saturday, in the coldness of the Marcel-Picot stadium, it was a golden opportunity that flew away.
