“Genêts d’Anglet’s Path to National 2: Focusing on Results Amidst Tough Competition”

Let’s be clear, accession to National 2 does not depend solely on the results of the Genêts d’Anglet.

Let’s be clear, accession to National 2 does not depend solely on the results of the Genêts d’Anglet. With two games against Stade Montois and Neuville (already condemned to the descent in R1), the leader Libourne – who lost only one meeting on October 23 in Pau and who has just recorded five rank victories – should to be able to keep his first place until the end.

If the Genêts aspire to achieve a faultless (“that would be great”, said coach Cédric Pardeilhan), the Penguins can be satisfied with two successes in the last four matches to reach the upper level. At least, as far as the Angloys are concerned because the second, Chauvigny, has less of a delay to fill (five points).

So many points

Anglet has already registered more units in the return phase than in the first leg. And to think that they still have four games to play. “We have almost the same number of points as last year, which was already a very good season,” said Cédric Pardeilhan. Last year, the Genêts scored 45 points. They have 43 so far.

“We said to ourselves that we had to take nine points in the last three games and that’s what we managed to do, adds the technician. With this success in Neuville last week (2-1), we got closer in the standings. It was not easy because they were playing their all for the maintenance. We mastered our match by notably achieving a very big first period, during which we should have led more broadly.

The long trip (more than five hours by bus) certainly weakened some organizations. “It’s like that, we’re not going to change anything. But at some point, you pay for all those hours on the bus, ”extends the coach.

” Long day “

This Sunday, it’s still a distant trip that presents itself to the partners of Inaki Claverie. “We will leave around 7 am, the day will be long, fears Cédric Pardeilhan, even if the matches against the reserve teams have rather smiled on us so far. Not by luck, but because we played these games to get results. »

The Angloys will face Chamois who are flirting with the relegation zone. “We are always wary of these teams. There are definitely going to be young players who are going to want to show that they can play for the first team. In any case, it risks running fast and strong from start to finish, ”analyzes the coach, who will be deprived of some elements for this crucial trip. The attackers Betina and Lapeyre are both injured, Dos Santos and Fachan are affected in the back, Rodriguez is in the recovery phase and Bigne will play with C.
