In a 100% shock Ligue 2 this December 22 in the 32nd finals of French Cupthe club of Guingamp finds himself with a little headache for the reception of Caenwho needs confidence before the winter break. While Lucas Maronnier will not be available due to a concussion protocol, the Guingamp coach Sylvain Ripoll finds himself without a new solution since Abdallah Ndour finds himself (again) with a sore ankle after his serious injury and Lenny Vallier is still absent. The coach, who is not in favor of large rotations when his team only plays once a week at the moment, almost wants to take a typical team outside of this problematic left-back position.

“It's a match in which we want to do well, we will end this year with this Coupe de France match before attacking again very early, just after the break, with the 17th championship match against Dunkirk. It's not going to change much for us […]. Hosting Caen must be an advantage. We beat this club in the league, it's true, the friendly match won this summer has no meaning. Malherbe encountered some difficulties in the first leg, but they are a high quality squad. It has to click, it has to go, everyone knows that they are not going to stop there. They will inevitably move up the rankings, because there are a lot of qualities, individual situations to be resolved perhaps, even if everyone is looking for this collective “fuel” as quickly as possible. It remains a match to approach carefully, because we too must erase this last impression in Bastia. The sooner the better. »
“In our misadventure in Bastia, we are lucky to have another match before the break to quickly move on to something else. Caen must say the same thing, I hope we will seize this opportunity and validate our first half of the season. We are lucky enough to be able to host at Roudourou, I think that in terms of concentration and many other things, it's good. »
