Anglet’s brooms …
The Genêts d’Anglet will be looking to qualify in Bergerac this Saturday. Coached by Erwan Lannuzel (formerly Biarritz and Bayonne), the Périgord team narrowly missed out on qualifying for the national team last May and narrowly missed out on a historic Coupe de France semi-final qualification (eliminated only on penalties by Versailles in the quarterfinals -the final). It is an understatement to say that Cédric Pardeilhan’s Genêts will not start as favorites tonight. “Bergerac are a very rigorous and pragmatic side with experienced players who also have experience of these matches,” he is wary of manager Angloy. “They don’t get angry and if they don’t score they also know not to concede a goal and are not afraid to go to penalties. And they have the experience of last year ”, continues Cédric Pardeilhan.
Make the right choices
It is therefore a strong match that Inaki Claverie’s teammates will have to play if they want to pass an extra lap. It is finally an interesting meeting to prepare the staff. With this goal, players can be asked for more things than usual in training. But that doesn’t change the motivation of the players at all and we won’t change the way we play either, explains Cédric Pardeilhan. We will have to make the right choices at the right time: know whether to play or not and not lose balls too close to our goal “, summarizes the coach, referring to the opportunities granted three weeks ago at home. By Chauvigny, who took advantage of it by scoring four goals “They are a pretty strong team in transition and they train every day. In short, the Genêts are not allowed to make the slightest mistake or risk being punished. But the feat would only be greater.
Bergerac, these are some players and coaches that Genêts have already met in the past (1) but it is above all a rematch team that narrowly missed out on the national team last year. And a mad desire to savor the pleasures of the Coupe de France.
Cédric Pardeilhan has called up almost the same group as last week in the league, in Pau. The young Léo Caup, despite a good match, is numerically replaced by the return of Thomas dos Santos, certainly more experienced in this phase of the competition. The last uncertainty remains the participation of the injured goalkeeper Guillaume Lesec. The young Eneko Feltrin would take his place in goal in the event of a starting package, protagonist of the last round of the cup after scoring the last shot on goal against Stade Montois.
