The end of the season promised to be exciting in Group D of National 2, where five or even six teams could still claim to access the National. Finally, it is Annecy, leader at the time of the cessation of the amateur championships by the French Football Federation (FFF) last week, who is preparing to join the upper floor. Third with only three points behind, President Jocelyn Fontanel’s MDA Foot is one of the big losers in this decision.
“We must face the facts, it is impossible to resume under conditions of health security before June 30, 2020, the initial date of the end of the season, recognizes the manager, however, in an interview with the Patriot. The FFF had little choice. It could also end the season at the end of the year and set the next seasons for the calendar year instead of going from July to June. But question of regulations and management of player and staff contracts, it was not easy either. “
“A thought for Saint-Priest”
Despite everything, Jocelyn Fontanel feels “quite obviously” regrets not having been at the end of the exercise: “For the N2, we had the best dynamics over the last sixteen days out of twenty-one played, ie more ‘a half of the championship! We mastered our matches better and better by dominating our opponents (…). If we had played the weekend of the municipal elections (March 15), we could have been leader mathematically, in the same way than Grasse and Moulin-Yzeure. Annecy is promoted. Bravo to them! But when you think that in the return matches they had not yet met a single Top 6 team, everything could still happen …
“Not to mention the climb, we would all have liked to experience this exciting end of the season with another four or five teams involved, he continues. Conversely, I have a thought for Saint Priest who finds himself in an uncomfortable situation with a descent to the key because of an unfavorable calendar. What other decision could the FFF take? It is not for me to answer but at the Comex, nobody asked us our opinion. I understand certain president who want to throw the “sponge. We must now put things into perspective: all this is not very important in view of the pandemic that we are living with thousands of deaths, the economic and social consequences that we are going to experience soon”, he prefers to relativize.
