N2. Les Herbiers – Saint-Colomban Locminé, this Saturday (6 p.m.)
In Saint-Renan last weekend, Saint-Co qualified (1-2). But there was a big downside, with the fourth red card collected this season by the team of Jacques Pichard and Florent Besnard. After Le Nédic against Blois, Daoudou against Saint-Malo and Belhaj against Plouagat (5th Cup Round), Quemard was also asked to join the locker room before the end.
A sanction which was not to the taste of his trainer. “I will defend my player on this one. The referee considers that he destroys a goal situation while there is still a defender behind and that it is not an aggressive foul. For me, there was no reason to see a red card,” laments Florent Besnard, who saw his defender receive a two-match suspension.
Irritated by this game, the Locminois technician does not hide the fact that taking so many boxes is not without consequences. Especially since they concern the defensive sector. “Four reds in two months is a lot. Certainly, we have the identity of an aggressive team. But we are not in the extreme either. This can be problematic given our workforce which is quite small. We may be naive at times. But boys learn. Now we have to deal with this. This might be complicated. But we know that everything will be difficult for us. We are prepared for this. There is no problem,” continues Besnard, who hopes to bring home a point from Les Herbiers despite a small group. Besides Quemard, Danso (foot) and Soufaché (adductors) are also unavailable.
The Locminois group : Daoudou – Faussurier, Rio, Traoré, Le Nédic, Belhaj, Marmot, Degan – Daubin, Luciathe (cap), Freitas, Benamara – Le Gouellec, Tokpa, Bila.
