Like Saint-Pryvé-Saint-Hilaire and Saumur, also beaten at home by Poitiers and Bordeaux, Blois Foot stumbled on Saturday October 5 on its lawn. Defeats which, added to the first of the BF of the season, prove the density and difficulty of this N2 championship.
Faced with rigorous and brave Bretons who came to boldly play their luck, the Blésois found it difficult to let go. The finishing also failed: “I think we could have played until 11 p.m., but we didn’t want to, summarizes goalkeeper Léopold Maitre. Given the number of opportunities, in other matches, it will pass. It could make 3-1, even 4-1 tonight. »
“We’ve had a good start to the season, we shouldn’t throw everything away”
Apart from a sluggish moment in the middle of the second half, the BF had control of the match. The basics are there, nothing serious so according to the captain: “No, we had a good preparation, a good start to the season. Losing can feel good. A good little slap to get back to work and leave conquering. »
Building on last season, or even the one before, and an excellent start to the season, the Blésois group is in no risk of falling into disaster. “We have certainty with a game plan in place since the end of last season. We just need to be more patient. But we are not sounding the alarm. We have what it takes to have a great season. Afterwards, football is a lot in the head. »
“We started from further afield a few years ago, recalls Cédric Hengbart. We’ve had a good start to the season with seven games, we shouldn’t throw everything away, quite the contrary. You have to be positive and get back up.
This Monday, the Blésois group will therefore get back to work with the aim of quickly moving on to something else: “We lost in Paris 13 (in friendly) in August just before the first day after 7 matches without defeat. I gave them a new challenge to eight for a new record”adds the coach.
“Break this spiral immediately”
The former professional player knows his group better than anyone and its ability to react: “We have the Cup (from France) which is coming and we must immediately break this spiral: we are at a draw and a defeat, two bad results, and we must not let it continue. » Sunday, at Châteauneuf, an N3 team, the coach will know a little more about the ability of his group to bounce back.
