Since the announcement of the draw for the Coupe de France and the arrival of Lyon (match scheduled for December 17 at 9 p.m. in Charléty), we have felt a certain stir on social networks around Paris FC. The Parisian club should achieve one of the best attendance in its history after the 15,000 dam against Lens in May 2019. But all in good time ... "We haven't talked about Lyon since Monday and I won't talk about it. not yet, warns Thierry Laurey. It will be a bonus match. For me, what matters to me are the last three league games before the break. These are also three interesting matches to experience and play. In recent weeks, we have managed to tip the scales in the right direction. You have to stay focused and not slack off. "
Thanks to its three victories in a row (all with a score of 1-0), Paris FC managed to return to the Top 5. The continuation of its good series against Bastia (14th), Valenciennes (13th) and Amiens (19th) ) would allow him to finish the year on - or close to - the podium before the break.
“We did not set goals in terms of points,” says Laurey.
Today, we have 27 and we will try to have more than 30… But what will count is the classification on the 38th day, not on the 19th.
Lately, it has smiled on us.
But the margin between victory and defeat is tiny.
In L2, apart from Toulouse or Auxerre who manage to have a certain grip on the game, the teams are very close to each other.
The level is homogeneous.
I am therefore wary of these three matches, starting with Bastia.
With the new coach (Régis Brouard), they changed their system.
It gave them a boost and they found stability.
They are on two league victories, it is working well, they are moving forward.

Paris FC loses Julien Lopez
Paris FC will be able to rely on the new state of mind that has animated it in recent weeks. "We are all fighting together, we support each other a lot, we do not give up, there is a lot of solidarity between us," said the young central defender, Ousmane Camara. "You have to have the humility to say it: maybe at one point we saw ourselves too good-looking," admits Laurey. There has been a change in mentality. With the staff, we made some adjustments, everyone felt concerned and that allowed us to find a second wind. Now, we have to keep this rigor. "
If the match in the Coupe de France against Cayenne (14-0) allowed the Parisian attackers to heal their stats, it was also followed by bad news.
Hit in the hamstrings and released in the 30th minute, Julien Lopez will not play again in December.
Samir Chergui and Lamine Diaby Fadiga are also injured.
