Even if it is neither Paris-Saint-Germain nor Olympique de Marseille, Annecy looks like a scarecrow for Stade Briochin, which will face it on Wednesday during the round of 16 of the French Cup. A complicated draw for the Costarmoricans in light of the characteristics of the Annecy team which, without making any noise, is advancing as one of the most formidable teams in Ligue 2. Fifth in its championship, it stalled against En Avant Guingamp , Friday at home (4-1), but remains extremely difficult to maneuver in a style of its own.
Problems for everyone
“He is a high-quality opponent, I admire the work that is being done here (in Annecy, Editor’s note), recognized Sylvain Ripoll, the Breton coach after his team’s victory at the Parc des Sports. This team still has the same characteristics but it still poses so many problems for everyone. It imposes a very intense fight. And at the same time, she is capable of setting the game and having collective sequences. All these ingredients make it very difficult to play. »
At home, the Haut-Savoyards play on an often difficult pitch and will therefore not be out of place at Fred-Aubert on Wednesday. They will put a lot of intensity into it, obviously, especially in pressing and sometimes from the first restart.
-Station inside the game
A true collective around strong individuals, like Yohan Demoncy who brings a link on the offensive level and shines with the quality of his set pieces, the formation of Laurent Guyot above all puts a lot of pressure on the interior of the game. A difficult characteristic for their opponents to manage but which is not without flaws. The Annéciens often, inevitably, leave spaces in the corridors, like the first Guingamp goal on Friday, signed Rayan Ghrieb. It’s up to Briochins to take inspiration from it.
