Would Paris FC be back?
For the first time in four months, he has managed to string together two straight wins.
A week after his success against Châteauroux (1-0), he won this Saturday in Caen (2-0).
A very good accounting operation since the PFC took advantage of Auxerre's defeat against Rodez (0-1) to join AJA in 5th place, synonymous with a ticket for the playoffs at the end of the season.
After their verbal altercation in the first leg, the reunion between René Girard and Pascal Dupraz was expected.
By refusing to greet Girard during the pre-match protocol, Dupraz had set the tone.
The Paris FC coach replied with a smile.
He always had it at the end of the match by congratulating his players even if the return to the locker room took place under tension.
What you must remember
A victory without trembling.
Deprived of Check Oumar Diakité (blow received in training), René Girard, who kept his defender scorer Ali Abdi in right back to the detriment of Gaëtan Belaud and returned Marvin Gakpa as holder, had returned to his classic 4-2-3 -1.
Faced with a Caen team of distressing sadness, Paris FC, even if it showed big technical waste, at least displayed better attentions in the first half.
After having procrastinated too much while Julien Lopez had erased goalkeeper Péan, Gaëtan Laura immediately redeems himself by opening the scoring after a quick touch (0-1, 37th).

The striker scores his 6th goal of the season and therefore joins Ali Abdi as the team's top scorer.
After a failed duel by Laura in front of Péan (58th) then a rescue on the line of Normand Vandermersh on a strike by Name (65th), Paris FC is very scared.
But Vincent Demarconnay is decisive in front of Zady Sery (73rd).
And on an offering from Florian Martin who places the ball on the head of Axel Bamba, the Parisians are definitely taking shelter (0-2, 87th).
It has been a long time since we had seen this team so serene and as much mastering a match.
The player: Gaëtan Laura
Every time Gaëtan Laura has scored this season (Chambly, Valenciennes, Châteauroux, Guingamp, Amiens), Paris FC has won.
The statistics were verified again against Caen.
The 25-year-old striker, who has alternated great flashes and small eclipses this season, brings his total to 6 goals for 4 assists.
He had not scored for six games and the victory against Amiens (4-2) on January 23.
The number: 8
Paris FC had not won away since its success in Dunkirk (1-0) on November 7, ie 8 games (3 draws, 5 defeats).
The reaction
“At the end of the match, three players from Caen came to our locker room to make a mess not possible.
I find that unacceptable and shameful… gets carried away René Girard, the coach of Paris FC.
To get back to the field, we had a very good game.
The victory against Châteauroux gave freshness to the team.
We are still in the game.
We had a full, aggressive, ambitious game.
I was afraid this match, because Caen is a great team and we had to come out with a big match to win.
We could have increased the score before.
