Ligue 2: "There is nothing positive to come out", regrets René Girard

2020-09-19T20:25:52.819Z


Undefeated leader (3 wins in 3 games), Paris FC fell for the first time this season this Saturday against Nancy (0-2).


Paris FC is no longer undefeated and has lost its place as leader of Ligue 2. Unrecognizable from their first three league games, the Parisians were trapped by Nancy (0-2).

A good warning in the form of a return to earth.

Paris FC are 3 rd one point behind the leader Niort, their next opponent on Matchday 5 next Saturday.

What to remember: Paris FC without a solution

This is the match since the start of the season where Paris FC has been the least dangerous offensively.

The Parisian attackers were well contained by the Nancy players.

The start was however rather good with in particular a good acrobatic recovery from Julien Lopez just next (3rd) and some interesting offensive combinations.

But the Parisians quickly died out and were suffocated by the Nancy circles.

After several alerts - Biron above (42nd), Vincent Demarconnay stoppage against Bassi (54th) - Nancy made the difference at the end of the match.

If Demarconnay wins his duel against Triboulet, Biron (3rd goal this season) followed well (0-1, 74th).

While Paris FC pushed to equalize and Demarconnay had climbed, Barka scored in the empty goal in added time (0-2, 90th + 5).

Paris FC missed their match

Fact of the match: Laura's missed equalizer ball

Despite its failed performance, Paris FC was nevertheless very close to saving appearances by snatching the draw.

But after having dribbled the substitute goalkeeper of Nancy, Sourzac (who had replaced Valette affected in the calf, 61st), Gaëtan Laura saw his strike from near in the goal quickly repelled by El Kaoutari (83rd).

The emotion of the match: the tears of Diaby Fadiga

Lamine Diaby Fadiga came out of the field in tears and his head hidden in his jersey.

Injured in a thigh since the start of the championship, the 19-year-old striker was making his return to the squad.

But barely ten minutes after coming into play, he stopped his action after an acceleration (73rd).

The ex-Niçois relapsed and should be absent for a few more weeks.

Another blow for Diaby Fadiga who had already experienced a first season at Paris FC upset by injuries and a head trauma at the Marcel-Picot-de… Nancy stadium last November.

The number: 19

By winning at the Charléty stadium, Nancy ended a series of 19 games without a win on the road.

The last success of Nancy on the move dates back to April 2019. It was the evening of the end of the series for Nancy who had not won in the L2 championship since January 10, ie 11 games.

Finally, Jean-Louis Garcia's team had so far never won on Paris FC in six official matches (2 draws, 4 defeats).

"We will stop basking ourselves with these series," said Nancy's coach.

The reaction

“We didn't deserve better.

It was not a good evening.

We didn't play.

We were inside in all areas, duels, combat.

We could have come back with Gaëtan's (Laura) ball but it's really too little.

There is nothing positive to come out.

We saw that when we weren't in the right frame of mind, we could hit rock bottom.

As I said, we hadn't won anything yet.

Maybe there was a little euphoria that had set in.

I don't blame my boys, it can happen to get through it once.

It is a good lesson which should serve as a wake-up call.

Maybe I too made a mistake in not making the right choices.
