Last night, in one half, the first, Villefranche led 0-2, already knew that overcoming such an opponent, Versailles, with such attackers (Baghdadi-Kodjia-Mbemba), would be an almost insurmountable ordeal. And this was verified at the end, with this defeat which tasted so bitter, at 1-3. The only positive point of such an evening, after 11th such a gloomy day, the FCVB will have at least limited the damage to 1-3, without falling to the bottom of the National ranking since Châteauroux (17e) and Paris (16e) hung on (1-1). But the Caladois will have to close ranks during the coming week, as their coach Laurent Combarel recognizes, to be able to challenge the Castelroussins next Friday at Armand-Chouffet.
Laurent Combarel: “We played like children in the first half”
Laurent Combarel (FCVB coach): “It's one of our worst evenings this season at home. We didn't put the right ingredients in the first half. There were fighter planes in front of us and to avoid making them shine, he We needed more consistency and vigilance. We played like children in the first half. It's frustrating because the second half showed other things in our game. We weren't helped by the scenario. of the match What's hard is that we still have three new injuries. (Strong, Baseya, Valerio). We lose, it's been a long time since that happened. We must admit, we were physically eaten by Versailles. We would have liked to experience another start to the match. Because, facing such an opponent, conceding two goals so quickly is giving them a gift. We moved them more in the second half. We will have to learn lessons from this match which costs far too much.”
Jeremy Clément: “We’ve never won away from home before!”
Jérémy Clément (coach “temporary” you FC Versailles) : “We're not going to be choosy because winning is important but after our good first half, we fell back into easy ways. It's not good at all. We fell back a lot in the second half and we had very little control. This is the lot of teams still in doubt, I think. We have never won away from home. But I am happy with this success. finds that we only played half an hour. There are attitudes that are not positive at 0-2. We can't be satisfied with so little. first half, we knew how to exploit our transitions by relying on the strength of our attackers. They made the right runs. We made the match easy in our transitions by hurting Villefranche who was unlucky with all these injuries. “We had success. It's Football… We could have been even more clinical. I hope this match will help us for the future.”
