He hit two games a second time. In the absence of Jacques Siwe and his nine achievements, Brighton Labeau scored his fifth goal of the season. “Catching Jacko would be good!” “Ricks the Martinican.
When his comrade became the specialist in powerful strikes and heads above the fray, the other center forward has turned into great opportunist. In Caen, he came to steal the ball into Moussounda's feet, too slow to organize on the recovery of Mandréa, before triggering an exterior of the foot (0-1, 44 '). “I felt that the pass (from Mandréa) was not supported enough, I played it instinctively, reports the Blessed. Afterwards, I have the lucidity to make the right gesture. These are three good dots. ”
In Gueugnon, against Martigues, he had already offered his own victory for a goal from Filou. By also playing the opposing goalkeeper, in this case Marillat, in the 88th minute of play. “There too, I had put him in pressure. It was still instinct ”.
“I am more fit”
Holder in the absence of Siwe, Brighton Labeau (29 years old since January 1) was one of the rare disappointments of the Guingampais start to the season.

Precious back to goal, powerful, the Martinican shares the taste for effort with his teammates. “We are all together, as a team. We are one to defend our goal and relieve Enzo (Basilio). We have a united group, “says the attacker trained at AS Monaco, also the author of a beautiful exterior of the foot for Luvambo (27 ').
Insured to stay in the top 5 despite the meeting between Annecy (7th) and Dunkirk (6th) on Monday evening, the Guingampais offered a summit on Saturday, February 1 against Paris FC. “I appeal to the Guingampais people, we will need him,” says Fred Le Grand, the president. “We are going to tackle this without complex match, especially at home,” announces Brighton Labeau. There will be no stress ”. Just the simple desire to keep moving forward. Without a host of potential holders but with Brighton Labeau around the field. Generous and catchy. Decisive, even sometimes.
