The duel at the top will take place this Saturday between the two best teams of this return phase. Libourne has been undefeated since October 23 (only defeat to date against Pau B) but in this return phase, the Penguins have garnered 29 points (nine wins and two draws). They are just ahead of the Genêts d’Anglet who scored 27 points (eight wins and three draws).
Cédric Pardeilhan’s players fell behind Chauvigny yesterday afternoon because the Chauvinois won their case on the reserve of their match lost against the B of the Girondins (1-5) and therefore recovered three points. As a result, Anglet is still in pursuit of this second place in case the burning file of non-qualified coaches and yet on the bench of certain formations (including Libourne, Pau B, Stade Montois) would go as far as a withdrawal of points (one per game in violation with nevertheless a derogation of four games). The file is in the hands of the Federation.
“Maybe reassembled”
“For us, it’s still extra-sporty,” says Cédric Pardeilhan. They may be turned against us, with the impression that we are angry with them, but if there is a problem, it comes from them, not from us. “For his part, Chauvigny, who has therefore taken second place, keeps all the cards in hand to keep it with matches against two teams already relegated to R1 (Guéret and Neuville). Anglet has a calendar a priori more delicate to manage with the reception of the leader Libourne and a trip to Lège still qualified for the last four of the Coupe de Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
“If there is a problem, it comes from them, not from us”
“For us, it’s more of a gala match that we’re going to play tonight. We want to beat the leader who remains on a perfect season. It’s the best team, ”admits Cédric Pardeilhan again without admitting defeat. “We want to finish this return phase undefeated. And if we can’t win, at least split the points by coming up with something. »
Jaki injured
After losing a few precious points at the start of the season, the Genêts were able to raise the bar and have lost only one match in N3 out of the last nineteen disputed. It was during the first leg in Libourne. The Yellow and Green coach remembers: “We had a little monopoly on the ball but without creating too many chances. They had scored their first goal somewhat happily. »
The Libournais then drove the point home by scoring a second goal from a set piece. “As usual in this kind of meeting, it is played on details”, specifies Pardeilhan. The Genêts technician will have to do without the services of his suspended vice-captain Bixente Mendiburu and the injured Mehdi Jaki. However, he can count on the return from injury of the two attackers Thomas Dos Santos and Samuel Betina.
