National: after the humiliation, the Red Star and Créteil in reflection

Friday, the Red Star crushed in Annecy (6-0) and Créteil who sank (1-6) on his lawn facing Bourg-en-Bresse lived sadly historic evenings.

The last time the Red Star conceded a 6-0, it was 50 years ago, on September 10, 1971 against OM at the Stade Vélodrome in D1.

As for Créteil, this is the first time in its history that the club has conceded six goals in the same match.

The biggest gap for a defeat (Créteil had already lost 3 times 5-0) is equaled.

In both clubs, the weekend was hectic, conducive to reflection, but did not lead to deep upheavals.

For the time being ?

Bordot suspended at Red Star

“We are ashamed to see being ashamed.

We beg your pardon.

“As a report of the 6-0 in Annecy, the club just put this message on the official website.

Because, among the supporters, already annoyed by the marketing shift (concerning the shirts ...) taken by the club, the discontent begins to intensify after this 4th defeat in 6 games and performances unworthy of a contender for the rise in the League 2. During the weekend, President Patrice Haddad, as usual, consulted a lot.

He did not speak with his trainer Vincent Bordot, which is not necessarily a good sign.

But according to our information, his decision has not yet been made. Unless the situation turns around, Bordot should therefore lead the training session well on Monday and he will also certainly be on the bench on Friday against Villefranche at Bauer. The last chance match? Because beyond the results, some tensions would have appeared within a group which is sorely lacking in character and leaders.

In Annecy, the absence of the captain and captain Cheikh Ndoye was felt.

For the rest, whatever happens, Habib Beye, arrived this summer in the staff, and who alternates with the other assistant Jimmy Modeste between the bench and the stands during matches, will not become number 1. He has not the DEPF (diploma necessary to train in National) which he is passing.

And as it seems understandable, he does not really want to launch his coaching career in these conditions.

In Créteil, confidence maintained in Da Costa

On the Créteil side, a crisis meeting is scheduled for the start of the week. Strong decisions could be taken. Coach Emmanuel Da Costa, who arrived in March, should be heard by the steering committee. Friday at a press conference, he addressed his players with spikes: "My boy plays in U13 and it is not even goals (Editor's note: about defensive errors) that we see" and even to his management: "Bourg is a club which is structured with competent people in all positions, whether it is the players, the staff and the administrative services, that shows the difference with us today" ...

But he would not be threatened and would still have the support of President Armand Lopes. The objective would rather be to find solutions to get out of this slump (17th with no victory). This will also certainly involve the arrival of new reinforcements after the signing on Wednesday of the experienced (29) striker Fantamady Diarra (222 L2 games, 47 goals). The case of general manager Rui Pataca, which crystallizes some internal criticism, could also be discussed.
