It will be hot, very hot in Isère this Saturday August 6th. At the time of the kickoff between the GF38 and the FCSM, the thermometer will be around 30 degrees. Organisms will suffer, especially since the temperatures were already very high in Franche-Comté this week. “We have slightly changed our way of working in recent days. The content of the workouts is similar, but the duration is a little more restrictedexplains Olivier Guégan during the pre-match press conference. This Thursday, it was focused on recovery. It’s not beneficial to go out in this high heat.“

For this 2nd day of Ligue 2, it’s time for the first trip of the season to the lawn of Grenoble. The Sochaliens missed the mark against Paris FC at the start of the week (0-0). If the result “was not satisfactory“For Olivier Guégan, the match was consistent, particularly in terms of attitude, this aggressiveness set up from the start of the meeting. A game identity that the coach wants to see again against Grenoble, even if with the heat, “it will also be necessary to manage the weak times“Physical density is not everything to have a successful season. But it is essential, as defender Valentin Henry reminds us.
“The impact, the duel, is very important in this championship. You have to be strong in this area to exist in Ligue 2”, Valentin Henry
“Demonstrate maturity in the game”
Defensively, the FCSM was not (or very rarely) worried by Paris FC. On the other hand, he was too timid on the attacking front, failing to bring enough danger into the area of a team reduced to 10, then to 9. Good news: the Sochaliens will face Grenoble orphans of their two holders in central defense, as well as their midfielder. Olivier Guégan expects a “open match“, against a club he knows well.
My two years in Grenoble (from 2016 to 2018, editor’s note), are only positive. Players who have progressed, two consecutive climbs, a return to Ligue 2… The club had a complicated last season but it has strengthened its position this summer. The team had an interesting match on the lawn of Le Havre last weekend (0-0). […] We will have to be mature in the game. We need to keep the balance in the defensive phase, and we create imbalance in the offensive phase to bring danger. You have to be patient, know how to navigate the opposing block with fast transmissions. This is what we missed against the PFC”, Olivier Guégan
Aaneba still a little tight, Virginius back in the squad
For this meeting, the group summoned is almost identical to that of the beginning of the week against Paris FC. We can expect to see the same starting eleven again, especially as in central defense, Ismaïl Aaneba is still injured. He should be back against Amiens next weekend. Abdallah Ndour is also absent. On the other hand, an important return to note: that of Alan Virginius. The striker has been announced on departure since the start of the transfer window, with courtiers in Germany and England. But the one who flamed with the Blues during Euro U19 is still there and he will make the trip to Isère.
