National 2. Plabennec – Chartres, this Saturday at 5 p.m.
Chartres is currently in good shape, things are going well for you…
We are lucky to be in second place in the championship. We have ambitions but we don’t get carried away. Each match has its truth and we go to Plabennec with the ambition to win to continue our good series.
There is a small gap that you hope to bridge with the Versailles leader, isn’t there?
Small gap, it is still five points. Versailles manages to follow up well and has a great team. We have to play our championship without looking too much at what is happening elsewhere.
Chartres launched its project in 2020, the ambition is accession to National, at first…
Chartres is a club that is being built. There is local enthusiasm with the town hall following our project. We have been working really well for a year and a half. As you say, we are a young club, which does not prevent us from having ambition. We will do the accounts at the end of the season, for the moment, we are taking the matches one after the other.
It is said that the N2 is raised, you confirm it?
It’s tough, very tough even. There is only one climb, it’s the big problem while there are 5-6 teams who are able to hold the dragee high. You really shouldn’t miss each other and have weaknesses.
You have to catch up with Versailles, Plabennec has to catch up with the support zone: you are the opposite but with similar objectives…
This is the first time I have come to Plabennec. I know their reputation and the values of this team. We have already played them during the first leg and we have seen a coherent team but which has also moved a lot since then. It’s football and in N2, each match is complicated. We are well placed but above all we do not want to ignite.
