Paris FC: "It's Filipovic who has the hand", explains Thierry Laurey about the goalkeepers

This start to the season is marked by a change of goalkeeper at Paris FC which brought in a solid draw (0-0) from Guingamp on Saturday in the 3rd game.


Thierry Laurey's clenched fist at the final whistle at the Roudourou stadium spoke volumes about his relief.

Three games, three red cards and five points… “In terms of accounts, it's the union minimum”, explained the Paris FC coach after this draw on Saturday at Guingamp (0-0).

It is also the first time in its history that Paris FC has started its championship with two away clean sheets.

But, in terms of the game, even if the analysis is biased by the 89 minutes in 3 games (not counting additional time) during which the Parisian team played outnumbered, this team also offered the minimum.

Offensively, it's the complete run-in.

Automatisms are still almost non-existent with Pierre-Yves Hamel.

The former Lorient (L1) striker rarely finds his teammates.

It is also rarely found.

In this context, it is in the defensive sector where we must seek the satisfactions of this start to the season: the affirmation of Maxime Bernauer in his new position as central defender or Julien Le Cardinal, the best of the recruits so far .

In the cage, we witnessed a small revolution with the tenure in the three games of Croatian Ivan Filipovic in place of club legend Vincent Demarconnay.

This summer, the counters were reset by the staff.

Demarconnay, 39, who had a huge last season, caught the Covid before the first day at Sochaux.

But according to our information, even without his illness, he would not have been established.

Paris FC seems to want to bet on the tall (1.97 m) Filipovic who arrived in July 2021 from Slaven Belupo (Croatian D1).

“I remind you that he is a boy who was brought in to be Vincent's successor, in the short, medium or even long term, explains Laurey.

Circumstances made Ivan start the season.

It lived up to expectations.

Even if he made a small entry error against Sochaux, he recovered well and has since done what was necessary.

I don't see why today I would have any reason to change.

It was the same case last year with Vincent who was really very efficient, so I was not going to change him.

Last season, Ivan Filipovic played five L2 matches and three in the Coupe de France.

He alternated the very good (Lyon in the Coupe de France during the only disputed half, Amiens) and the less good (the 3-0 defeat in Nancy).

Inevitably, his performances are scrutinized, in particular by the supporters very attached to Demarconnay.

The right stops at the right time

In a few situations, poor control from the 1st minute at Sochaux, ball released in the 47th minute this Saturday at Guingamp, a few missed clearances, he was not always reassuring.

But overall, he was able to make the right saves at the right time.

Against QRM, his stature allowed him to make a nice tap on the head of Houtoundji (82nd) ​​and thus preserve (2-1) the success of Paris FC.

At Guingamp, he was also present on Cathline's lob attempt (44th) and Louiserre's free kick (90th).

All in efficiency and without frills.

His trademark.

Introverted, not yet mastering the Frenchman, Filipovic does not show his emotions either.

The opposite of Demarconnay with a more spectacular style and who likes to share with the public.

"I don't want to put negative pressure on anyone," continues Laurey.

For the moment, Filipovic has the hand and we will see where it will take us.

Vincent is number 1 bis.

But what is most interesting to me is that we have two goalkeepers who give us confidence.

And even three since behind, there is Obed (Nkambadio, 19 years old) who we see working and progressing.

He can take over without any problem too.

Paris FC also signed another goalkeeper on Friday, on whom it has great hopes, Téva Gardies (21 years old, 1.97m) from Sète.
