There is not yet a fire in the cathedral. But with only three points in three matches and already six lengths behind leader Saint-Pryvé, the ambitious C’Chartres Football of Jean-Pierre Papin and Kader Chehida can no longer really procrastinate at the start of the season. Despite seven absences, he will seek to show the muscles, this Saturday, August 28, with the red lantern Vitré, a draft of N3 with whom he has never won.
After three days, the account is not there for the C’Chartres Football
The challenge: to relaunch
A post at 1-0 against Romorantin, where he ended up losing 2-1, then a bar and another amount against Rouen, who came to win by the same score at Jacques-Couvret. After a victorious 2-1 opening against Granville, Chartres has not really been varnished at the start of the season. But if success has fled it, the CCF also lacked sharpness in the game, especially in both surfaces. He will clearly have to ramp up if he wants to play the leading roles. From this Saturday August 28, in Vitré, greater efficiency is expected by Jean-Pierre Papin who approaches the meeting with optimism. “Until now, we were in first year. Now you have to skip the second. We are starting to find our bearings and we have worked well this week. We’re going to engage, ”imagines the CCF coach. It would be a good idea.
The squad: seven players on the flank
Not yet seen this season, midfielder Aurélien Gazeau, recovered from his calf injury, will make his comeback. This is the only good news on the effective side for the CCF. Except that of Yannick Mamilonne, a tear that should keep him away from the field until October, the various pips do not inspire concern. But it’s still a total of seven players that JPP will have to do without against Vitré. Hamjatou Soukouna (ankle) and Erwan Colas (adductors) are not fully recovered from the injuries contracted against Rouen, Matthieu Villette suffers from the back, Bastien Vilmercati from ischios, Ibrahima Traoré underwent an injection of PRP (plasma rich in platelets) and Maxime Fleury is unavailable due to the recovery protocol after Covid. It’s a lot. Fortunately, the CCF, which had initially planned to operate with a small group, has a fairly large workforce, integrated this week by the latest recruit Dramane Koné and Ludwig Lahaye. The two players were summoned by Jean-Pierre Papin and Kader Chehida. It remains to be seen who will start.
Who is Dramane Koné, new striker at C’Chartres Football?
The opponent: from ignition delay
Three defeats in three games against Lorient (0-1) Guingamp (0-4) and Poissy (0-3), eight goals conceded and none scored. Laurent Hervé’s AS Vitré tastes at this start of the championship, for his return to National 2. The Ille-et-Vilaine club, down after a 2019-20 exercise stopped in March by the Covid, surely pays to have learned late his draft, July 13. The Bretons began their preparation two weeks after the CCF and had to review their recruitment plans with three (Abdoul Bila, Béni Nsango and Thomas Parada) of the seven reinforcements who arrived just before the start of the season. They can constitute an ideal prey for Chartrains who have never won in the fortified city (1 defeat and 3 draws). But beware of waking up …
Chartres has never won at Vitré …
