Ligue 2: Paris FC is not "completely ready" according to Thierry Laurey

We have often seen the demonstrative Thierry Laurey get annoyed and make leaps, at the edge of the Paris FC training ground in Orly. His team ended their preparation matches with a draw (2-2) against Créteil. The bottom line is that there is still work to be done. “We did not have a bad game but we took too long to play forward, regrets the new Parisian coach. We concede two penalties (Editor's note: Vincent Demarconnay stopped that of Sébastien Flochon) stupidly, we can not offer free situations to the opponent. We wanted to work on the central hinge, offensive movements. Everything is not yet perfect, far from it. But that, we suspected. "

Played in three 45-minute thirds, this match was also intended to give playing time to the entire workforce. But the eleven lined up at the start, and who evolved unchanged for more than 70 minutes, looks like the one who should start the championship next Saturday against Grenoble in Gueugnon for the 1st day of Ligue 2. A 4-3-3 where we found two of the three recruits of the offseason, Maxime Bernauer (ex-Le Mans) on the right side and Migouel Alfarola (ex-Annecy) on the left of the attack.

The choice of Thierry Laurey in central hinge was the most awaited.

Against Grenoble, Axel Bamba (injured and who will take additional exams on Monday but who could be unavailable for a long time), Ousmane Kanté (suspended) and Youssoufa Ndiaye (ankle, unavailable until December), will be absent.

It is the duo Samir Chergui (22 years old, 4 games in L2) and Ousmane Camara (18 years old, 3 games in L2) who have been associated.

Chergui, already convincing when he entered Reims on Wednesday, was rather solid and attentive in the placement.

It was sometimes more complicated for Camara, international U18, especially on a few raises.

A central defender is missing

“I found that they were serious, they managed well, believes Thierry Laurey. Samir Chergui joined us in the process of preparation (Editor's note: he had tendonitis in his knee), he had already been good in Reims, he is improving. If the recruitment of a central defender is a "priority" for the coach of the PFC, he should leave with Chergui and Camara for the hinge in Gueugnon. “I don't have 50 other options,” he continues. I prefer to favor a stability in the relationship in the middle and in front, rather than bringing down Mandouki for example. To start with two young people of 18 and 22 who have almost no L2 games, we can think that it will be a little hot. But me, that does not scare me. It is also one of the objectives that I was given here at Paris FC: to develop the potential of our young talents.It is up to them to seize their opportunity, and the elders to guide them well. "

With the injuries of Axel Bamba, Gaëtan Belaud and Warren Caddy and pending a little more experienced reinforcements, Paris FC will not start the championship in optimal conditions.

“We know that we risk being a little in difficulty, recognizes Thierry Laurey.

But I hope that we will compensate the current shortages at the level of the workforce by an irreproachable state of mind.

We must all come together.

But I hope that even without being completely ready, we will be able to do something positive against Grenoble.
