National: three things to know before the Red Star derby - Créteil

This is one of the posters for the 9th day of National but an Ile-de-France derby that will not be able to accommodate more than 1,000 spectators at the Bauer stadium in Saint-Ouen due to health constraints linked to Covid-19.

Never two without three for the Red Star?

Winners of his first two games of the season, against Concarneau (2-0) then in Laval (1-2), Vincent Bordot's men (11th) are aiming for a third success in a row this Friday.

A positive result would lift them to the top of the ranking for the first time.

"The objective is to remain on the same dynamic," confides the Audonien coach, who should renew his confidence in the Laval killers.

Let us also remain demanding and united in the face of a team from Créteil that is complicated to play.

"

The health situation still not having changed, the match against Créteil is limited to 1000 spectators.

So that a maximum of people can benefit from Bauer, we set up a form for the subscribers who would not come to the match, available here 👇 https://t.co/RSjQIcQa3O

Créteil comes to Saint-Ouen to win

Surprise at the start of the season, the Val-de-Marne club (5th), which remained on a series of four games without a setback, fell at home against Quevilly-Rouen (1-3).

“It's a derby, it is important to win this match, in this particular stadium, warns coach Carlos Secretario.

The Red Star is on a good streak, they have just beaten Laval, but we are going to Bauer to get the 3 points to make up for our last loss.

This match serves as a first test, to locate our level, to see the minds of our players.

"

Striker Kevin Farade is operational again since the FFF disciplinary committee reduced his sanction by one match after his expulsion against Cholet (1-0).

Cheikh Ndoye: "If I had made a question of money, I would not be at the Red Star"

With Cheikh Ndoye in the stands

The Senegalese international who had been training for several weeks in Créteil signed Tuesday ... at the Red Star.

At 34, the former captain of Angers (89 L 1 games) needs time to regain his best level since he has not played since his serious left knee injury (rupture of the cruciate ligaments) which occurred in selection against Mali in March 2019. "Créteil is my favorite club but I signed for the Red Star and I will therefore be behind my new club and my new partners", specifies Ndoye.
