Irresistible before the break (6 wins in a row), Paris FC resumed the championship on Monday (8:45 p.m.) at Le Mans (fallback ground after Charléty's suspension) against Le Havre.
The Parisians will be deprived of Hanin (sick) in addition to the three players who left for CAN, Morgan Guilavogui, Ousmane Kanté (Guinea) and Moustapha Name (Senegal).
Before this match, Thierry Laurey is very offensive, as usual.
Paris FC has not played since December 21.
Aren't you running the risk of running out of rhythm?
THIERRY LAUREY
.
Almost four weeks without playing, yes it's annoying.
We will try to regain the momentum before the break.
We know that we will have to find other levers than the only athletic field where we know that we risk being a little tight.
It's up to us to be focused and intelligent enough to compensate for all that.
The group was affected by the Covid last week…
Yes, but less than some.
Afterwards, I can't understand how some clubs have no case… Maybe they did an internship in a cloister… We have players who have just resumed and who will be there against Le Havre.
This is why we must be vigilant.
Afterwards, over time, he risks having a lot of postponed matches and that can cause problems.
I hope the Competitions Commission will be lenient enough in rescheduling matches.
This would distort the championship if some are forced to cross France at close dates.
What was your reaction to the announcement of the sanction of Charléty's five-game suspension?
It was a nice Christmas present like there are not two (
Editor's note: it is aimed at Jean Lapeyre, legal director of the FFF
)… I find it normal that we are sanctioned because there were problems.
I accept the lost match, the fine.
This is not the debate.
But I have the nerves that we hit on the sportsman by sanctioning us for the championship.
We didn't fight.
And we didn't tell Lyon to play five games away from their stadium.
And why 5 games?
It could have been 3, 7 or the whole season as long as they are there… But I understood the FFF's desire to please the Minister of Sports who had raised her voice two days before.
Do you blame the instances?
Yes, because the authorities have the perfect opportunity at the start of the season to mark their territory by taking strong measures.
They didn't.
What annoys me is feeling like I'm paying for others today.
It's easier to hit Paris FC than more powerful clubs.
Each time there were different penalties.
I just wish I had been considered the same as everyone else.
Why not play Charléty behind closed doors… But there, it's very heavy.
Playing away against direct opponents is bound to be a handicap in the race for the climb...
I said what I had to say about this unfair situation. Afterwards, we will receive Le Havre at Le Mans… In itself, it's not a disaster, I don't make a big problem out of it. We've done pretty well on the road this season (6 wins in 10 games). We are not going to play the martyrs. When we return to the field, we will be focused on the match, we will not think that we should have been at Charléty and not at Le Mans. For me, this will not be an acceptable excuse. We have to adapt to this situation and put things in place. We have to use this situation to condition ourselves to play the best game possible. Facing Le Havre, we know it will be complicated. It's more the physical aspect than playing at Le Mans that bothers me. Already, we know that it will be a beautiful lawn.

What do you expect from your rookie Jonathan Iglesias?
That he brings his experience to the heart of the game. He is a human boy, he has a very good state of mind, he is very involved, he is already at home in two weeks.
He has technical qualities, movement, he knows how to project himself and score goals.
He will lead by example and bring competition to the middle.
It's a leadership profile that we didn't have.
At the level of the attacker where are you?
We would like to take one, but there are not that many on the market.
We are on a file.
We'll see…
A loan from Hyun-jun Suk from Troyes has been mentioned…
No.
This is not the profile we are looking for.
