They packed up their suitcases. Until the end of the year, apart from a quick trip to the Lyon area for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France (December 20 against Goal FC), the Annecy residents will stay at home. And that’s good because at home this season, FC Annecy is almost perfect with a record of just one defeat in six games and one current streak of five victories without conceding a single goal. “This year, at home, we feel a special atmosphere with more and more people behind us”rejoices Florian Escales, the FCA goalkeeper.
Spend Christmas in the Top 5
While waiting for FC Metz on December 14, Clermont is another former Ligue 1 player which takes place this Friday evening at the Sports Park. Far from being at the top, the Clermontois (13th) even deprived of several of their executives remain dangerous and the Annecy coach is wary. “Clermont is scheduled to play the first part of the tableassures Laurent Guyot. When clubs like that get off to a bad start, there’s always a moment when they wake up.”

Between now and the mini Christmas break, FC Annecy aims to continue its invincibility streak at home and collect the maximum number of points to spend Christmas in the Top 5. This challenge will involve the return of a certain efficiency in front of the opponent’s goal. During its last two matches, the Annecy attackers remained silent (0-0 against Paris FC and Jura Sud). “I hope this won’t last, comments Laurent Guyot. We always want to be very efficient and this is obviously an area of work because between the number of situations that we create, particularly on fairly high recoveries and the number of goals scored, I find that the ratio is not sufficiently pupil.”
-The sentence – “I need a Doliprane”
This week, Florian Escales returned to his very high positioning, often outside his area, behind his defenders. This type of game requires a lot of concentration explained the FCA goalkeeper. “You have to stay connected to the game during the 90/95 minutes and try to anticipate the slightest long ball, the slightest stupidity, the slightest back pass missed by my defenders too, it can happen. Mentally it’s hard sometimes I say to Thomas Fedrigo (goalkeeper coach) that I need a Doliprane because there is so much information that even if I don’t run as much as the players, it’s mentally tiring.
The Group
For this 15th day of Ligue 2 and the reception of Clermont (8 p.m.), FC Annecy will be deprived of its defender Hamjatou Soukouna and its midfielder Yohan Demoncy, both suspended. Clément Billemaz (ankle) is still in care. On the other hand, defenders François Lajugie and Ritchy Valme are back.
