A new shock for Paris FC.
After his big blow Tuesday in Auxerre (2-1) which allowed him to find the podium (3rd), the PFC disputes another summit against AC Ajaccio (2nd).
If successful against the Corsicans, the Parisians would become dolphins of Toulouse, wide winners of Dijon (4-1) on Saturday.
This will be the second and last game relocated to Le Mans before finding Charléty for another three games (Quevilly-Rouen, Sochaux, Niort) behind closed doors.
A series of 10 games without defeat
“If we had been put behind closed doors from the start, we would have understood the meaning of the sanction, we did not need to show us around the rillette factories, ironically Thierry Laurey.
But it's easier to make the little ones understand by typing very hard, than for the adults by not typing at all.
The club as a whole, the workforce, the staff, the players as well as our supporters are penalized when they have nothing to do with it.
It's unfortunate but as I said before the game against Le Havre, it's not a problem for us to play away.

With only ten goals conceded since the start of the season and goalkeeper Benjamin Leroy with 13 clean sheets in 19 games, AC Ajaccio has often been an impregnable fortress.
“Ajaccio defends very well, I would even say that it is quite remarkable, continues Laurey.
This team which is not 2nd by chance, is a real safe.
Auxerre has different game characteristics and Tuesday was more open.
Against Ajaccio, we know what to expect.
When you face a team that has only conceded ten goals, you know the problem.

"A redistribution of the cards in the workforce and more competition"
If Paris FC lost Warren Caddy for several weeks (tear), it can count on its two offensive recruits from the transfer window, Lamine Gueye, on loan from Metz (L1), and Khalid Boutaïb, transferred from Le Havre (L2) last Monday. “I hope they will bring a little more offensive qualities, launches Laurey. It is clear that there is a redistribution of the cards in the workforce and more competition. »
And the coach continues: “Some players will turn a little more, the playing time will be distributed, we will be able to breathe when the need arises.
Everyone will have to be ready to put aside their ego and seek to be as efficient as possible.
There will be decisions to be made but what interests me is that the team is moving forward.
We are on a good series (10 games without defeat).
The problem with a series is that we know it will end one day.
But we will do everything so that it is not against Ajaccio, which is a direct competitor.
