“There is really a curse on our lawn!” confides FCVL assistant coach Oualid El Hariouli. But it's true that we still wonder how the former residents of Regional 3 managed not to win this match against Virazeil. They who benefited from two penalties during the match (43rd and 87th) not converted by Jérémy Bastardo and Anthony Robin.
A sign of a group that has been in doubt since the start of the season and is sorely lacking in confidence. The team of “Fifi” Parrel could also have chased the score in the first half with two face-to-face meetings lost by the visitors (10th and 25th).
The Marmandais suburbs had moved to the banks of the Lot with a defensive game plan and with the objective of blurring the lines by adding impact to the duels and breaking up the game. An objective achieved against Villeneuvois not quite sharp on the offensive level, not effective enough in the zone of truth. However, after the big rant from the FCVL coach in the locker room at the break, and after changes of players, the “red and white” were largely dominant in occupation and possession.
But once again, they came up against Virazeil's defense rather well in place and a goalkeeper who was calm in his interventions. This draw (0-0) does not suit Nicolas Denis' men at all, who let the leading teams slip away and now find themselves in the middle of the table. The mini-break comes at the right time to recharge the batteries and approach the rest of the season with more ambitions on the offensive level. “We have good players but it’s the mentality that isn’t keeping up.” And the mentality, the Villeneuvois will really need it in two weeks with a complicated trip to the leader ASSA Pays du Dropt.
