PTo win the maintenance in regional 1, you will have to win matches. It is not a revelation … But with the zero and white result of Saturday January 25, ES La Rochelle (3 defeats, 1 zero result) and AS Cozes (4 zero results) are each at four consecutive games without success. With the change in technical staff and the recruitment of three players, all holders during the derby, the Rochelais were active during the truce hoping to relaunch a team in technically and collectively.
The locals will have the best opportunity of the first period, when Toube, the new striker, a former Cameroonian international U20, was countered by the release of Javalet, who braked the ball before a defender ends the rescue in front of his line (14th) . There were more approximations than actions built in this hit derby where the aborted attacks were more numerous than the successful passes. “We were not in the first period,” said coach Cozillon Gaël Maïa. Fortunately, we recovered after the break, the team had more master’s degree, she chained more game forward. »»
Cozes stays in front
The visitors were then more dangerous. They will even have the opportunities to switch the match on their side in the last ten minutes, while the Rochelais fell in intensity as the match was progressing. Lasfar was set aside at the entrance to the penalty area, at the conclusion of an action that had developed on the right side, but it precipitated its recovery, which flew into the Rochelais sky (83rd). A few minutes later, Gès also had an opportunity to open the scoring, but he rose to the decisive exit of Mbiandjeu, the local goalkeeper just arrived from the Chamois Niortais (87th). “These are great opportunities that La Rochelle did not have,” noted Gaël Maïa, still satisfied to leave his opponent behind him in the standings.
“We found sequences worked in training, especially during the defensive phases, such as the framing of adversaries to the loss of the ball, analyzed the Rochelais Benjamin Darmon. The team put impact, aggressiveness and envy, but we missed precision in the last choices and technical quality on certain situations. It was a hired derby, we were keen to deliver a good match. The ESR will replay Saturday, February 1, for updating the calendar, with the reception of Brive.
