The U16G regional selection was convened this Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at Astragale to play a friendly match against the young U16s from Dijon FCO. This was the first preparation match of the 4 planned this season.
This selection brought together the best players of the U16 generation coming exclusively from amateur clubs in our League. The objective for the U16G coached by Aurélien MICONNET (CTD PPF) was to confront them with players from a club with a training center, the DFCO, accustomed to the high youth level.
Reaction from coach Aurélien MICONNET:
The players responded to the game plan in this first match with a compact and dense mid-low defensive block which allowed the players to recover a lot of balls and create chances in the first half. The opening score at the start of the match by Nayisse Ali Charif on a superb goal which got the boys off to a good start and 2 high recoveries at the end of the half allowed us to score Naël CORLETTO et Ouchem's Theorem. We could have better managed the release of the ball and better identified the areas to exploit to have more phases of possession against a high opposing block.
The 2nd half allowed us to install a higher block and put more intensity in our defensive runs, the control was better and the depth was well managed on the few Dijon offensives. On a ball exit and a magnificent deflection of Joseph CHANUTto cast deep Ouchem's TheoremIt is Mickail COURTAUX which closes the score (4-0).
-We are satisfied with this first match because we were in little danger and the players were able to meet the expectations of the staff. We thank the DFCO club which allowed us to have quality opposition.
