This time it’s the right one! Sochaux holds on to its victory at Bonal with a score of 2-0this Friday evening, against Valenciennes on the occasion of the 9th day of National thanks to goals scored by Samy Benchamma at the half-hour mark, and Corentin Jean in added time. Not a great match for the Yellow and Blue who played in pink to support the cause of Pink October, but efficiency and solidarity to win. In pain but the result is there and that’s all that matters after two months without success at home. Real relief for everyone, players and supporters, and a rise to 6th place in the ranking.
Solidity, efficiency, solidarity
This is how Sochaux won their match against the Northerners. With a great Mathieu Patouillet in the cagesauthor of three saves in the first period in a team which was able to hold on for the goalkeeper “our first goal comes in a strong moment, then we gave up in the second half, when we are cornered and we score an almost unexpected second in the last minutes, the joy is multiplied by ten”and to see Arthur Vitelli jumping into the arms of your coach, we better understand the feeling of deliverance of the whole team “It’s a big relief, it’s really nice, already everyone’s state of mind, everyone was involved, in terms of the ranking we needed it because it’s not the start of the season that we hoped, but in the minds, it will do good for everyone” underlines the captain, excellent in defense.
Benchamma’s revenge
But the happiest of all is surely Samy Benchamma. Criticized since his arrival this summer, the young midfielder put his team into orbit by opening the score half an hour into the game. A deliverance and revenge for the evening’s scorer “yes I was vengeful because with everything I’ve heard about myself since I’ve been here, all the expectations that are placed on me, I had a big deal, my goal doesn’t show anything at all, it just shows that I have character and I hope this victory will kick off our season and my season, it’s just the beginning.”
The measured joy of Mokeddem
Like Benchamma, Sochaux finally responded to Bonal to the delight of its coach “we folded without breaking, we confirmed our status as a good defense, the boys knew how to put what they had in their guts onto the pitch, everyone raised their level. And contrary to what we can say, the group lives well, we say things frankly to each other” recognizes Karim Mokeddem, happy also for the supporters “The public has been waiting for this victory for a long time, I’m happy for them, but I hope we won’t have to wait as many matches to find victory in Bonal.” The FCSM coach wants to enjoy the present moment but in moderation “We’re enjoying this evening but I’m not getting excited, the most important thing in football is the match after, because now it’s important that we move on.” By finally winning in Bonal, being undefeated for 4 matches, Sochaux moves into 6th place, close to the leaders, but still 6 points behind the co-leaders, Nancy and Concarneau. Slowly but surely, the FCSM hopes to enter the TOP 5 this Wednesday by confirming this success in Rouen.
