The match between Tours FC (R3) and FC Lorient (L2) scheduled for today at 6 p.m. is canceled for security reasons. The federation indicates that the prefecture of Indre et Loire and the town hall of Tours noted that the Tours FC club was not able to guarantee a security system for welcoming the public and the decision was taken with the stakeholders. Terrible news for these amateur players who had been preparing for this meeting for several weeks. The team's coach, Bryan Bergougnoux, did not hide his anger at the RMC microphone. “There is a lot of frustration. A player was in tears. I am very, very angry. When you want to lead a club, you have to do things fully. The situation is difficult, but when you make commitments you have to keep them. »
The anger of Bryan Bergougnoux
“It’s a lot of frustration and anger. I was lucky to experience this kind of atmosphere, I think a lot about my players who make enormous sacrifices. They sometimes tried to put pressure on management regarding all that. I was able to dissuade them because it would have given a bad image. Going on strike in football is always frowned upon. They didn't say anything, they continued working. And today they are deprived of a match which would have been unique for them in their lives. I am very angry. We were happy to have eight balloons today donated by the FFF. We've been training with deflated balls for weeks. Officials will have to provide explanations. »
