While the MSB has been at a standstill since the implementation of confinement, Le Mans FC is continuing its season. This Friday November 6, on behalf of the 12th day of National, the Bloods and Gold are moving to Créteil, 3rd in the ranking. Les Manceaux, who remain on a draw (0 – 0) against Laval during the derby, are only 3 points and can hope to make a close.
A big thought for all supporters in difficulty
Beyond the sporting issue, Le Mans FC coach Didier Ollé Nicolle insists that the championship does not stop. Even if the matches are now played behind closed doors, he is happy that the season continues and he wants his players to bring a little lightness to the Sarthois in this difficult context. “The situation is anxiety-provoking. We also have people close to us who are affected and we have a big, big, big thought for all the people who are in difficulty. We really want to go and win this game for them. We want to share this with them“.
Show humility and stop talking about rising
But the sporting stake remains nonetheless very real for the footballers of Le Mans, still stuck in the middle of the table with only 2 wins in 11 days. “Everyone knows that we are not in the place we want to be. Everyone is waiting for us to start our season and we are also starting to get impatient and frustrated“reacts the midfielder Maxime Bernauer.
The tone of the staff has also changed. The coach Didier Ollé-Nicolle would like the whole club to show more humility. “By dint of telling the team that this is Le Mans, that we must produce a good game, that we owe this or that we owe that … No, we are Le Mans against others teams in a tight championship. That’s all. We must all put ourselves in humility, go and ensure the essentials, take points to move away from the bottom of the ranking and then, we’ll see if we can go and look for something else.“.
Créteil – Le Mans FC, kick off at 6 p.m.
