Onet-le-Château II – Saint-Sulpice: 0-0. Five points in four games, the balance sheet is positive for Charef Chaouch, the Saint-Sulpic coach: “We are where we wanted to be. We have guarantees in the defensive sector and we are undefeated away after three outings.” Moreover, he expected a more complicated match at Onet-le-Château, “an N3 reserve all the same”. When the final whistle blew, he therefore felt a certain frustration: “We had five clear chances with lost one-on-ones and easy headers from set pieces.” But cold, his analysis is more pragmatic. “We are making progress and that’s reassuring,” he says. The first half is useless. The defenses take precedence over the attacks and ultimately, we witness a battle in midfield. The organisms are suffering, the second period will be different and to the advantage of the Tarnais. “Physically, we were much better than them and that’s where we were dangerous,” observes the Tarn coach. Hence the frustration at the final whistle. If Charef Chaouch has guarantees on the physical, technical and tactical approach to matches, he must now take care of the mentality of his players. It’s been a few seasons since Saint-Sulpice has been more comfortable away from home rather than at Molentrincade. “We are going to work in this direction even if I know that I have players more comfortable on synthetic than on grass,” concludes the technician. Lucid, he suspects that the road to maintaining will be long and strewn with pitfalls but this match at Onet reassured him.
