This time, no nonsense!
In Pau, Paris FC would be well inspired to return to victory this Saturday (7 p.m., BeIN Sports).
A victory that has eluded him for four league games (2 N, 2 D).
It would be a good idea just after their elimination in the Coupe de France, this Tuesday against Lorient (2-1).
One more last effort.
With two matches per week for almost a month, the Parisians will play their 8th meeting in Pau this Saturday in the space of 26 days.
“It's huge, says René Girard, the PFC coach.
There is a lot of demand and it is a requirement.
There is no need to ask questions.
The matches of Pau and Châteauroux (February 20) remain something important for the rest of the events.
"On the physical condition of his men, René Girard thinks that" the boys have recovered well, we have not had any additional injuries and on the contrary, we are recovering boys.
"
Four returns that will do good.
Absent Tuesday for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France in Lorient, the PFC can once again count on four returning players: Gaëtan Belaud, Ali Abdi, Mario-Jason Kikonda and Gaëtan Laura.
The latter is still the club's top scorer with Julien Lopez, with five goals.
"It's the advantage of having a homogeneous group," considers René Girard.
Here are some boys who weren't in Lorient.
It was for good reasons.
They will come back.
We will have a team that is a little more supplied.
"
A victory to stay in the game?
On a champion's pace during the first part of the championship, the former leader is treading water in the standings.
An observation that René Girard readily acknowledges: “We are in a place that may be ours.
Initially, we had started maybe a little bit strong, in overdrive.
I don't know if it's everyone, but we had the stars in our eyes.
Football is the field, it is the one that delivers the verdict and the truth.
So far, we've done a good first part, we're doing a much poorer second part, and I'm weighing my words.
There are 14 games left, still the possibility of doing good things.
Once again to take the bull by the horns… ”
Axel Bamba and Mario-Jason Kikonda will be suspended against Châteauroux on February 20.
The disciplinary committee of the LFP sanctioned them with a suspension match following a third warning in the space of 10 games.
