A few whistles escape from the stands of Charléty. By going to greet the supporters, the players of Paris FC calm the atmosphere a little, which could have become a little more tense. Some stay to discuss with the kop. Three weeks ago against Rodez, Paris FC hit rock bottom in the second period. This Saturday evening, he conceded his third defeat at home against Valenciennes (0-1). In Charléty, its record is just catastrophic with 4 points out of 15. As a result, the negative qualities will begin to run out to describe the matches of this team. We thought she was invigorated by the almost happy success (Nîmes goal against his side in the 87th) reported from Nîmes (1-0) last Saturday. But she was unable to continue by winning – what would have been a first this season – a second success in a row.
“Three defeats in a row at home, that makes me wince, sighs Thierry Laurey. Last year, we were very good at home, there it is more than insufficient. Fortunately we manage to take points outside. »
Surprised on a perfect cross from Lecoeuche for Di Liberto’s header (0-1, 22nd) the Parisians evolved to ten for almost the entire second period after the rather stupid expulsion (two yellow cards in five minutes) of Yves Dabila (56th). But if they had at least the merit of never giving up (13 shots in the 2nd period), they wasted a lot and fell on a huge Gauthier Larsonneur. The goalkeeper on loan from Brest (L1) notably managed an exceptional parade on a strike from Julien Lopez (84th) which should have allowed the PFC to equalize. Which would have been well deserved.
But instead of going back to the top of the table as Thierry Laurey hoped Thursday at a press conference, his team remains far (11th, ten points behind the duo of leaders Bordeaux and Amiens). With only three points ahead of the red zone, she could quickly start to look behind her if she continues to produce such performances. Because beyond the accounting aspect, it is the deficiencies of his collective game and his frequent technical waste that are the most worrying today.
But Thierry Laurey, who still does not seem threatened in the short term, was far from defeated at the end of the match. “There is no anger, just disappointment and frustration,” said the PFC coach. We thought we’d win to make a good deal. But we weren’t specific enough. We are in the hard. But the attitude of the boys is good. I am satisfied with their behavior. At ten, they showed that they weren’t giving up. We managed to pack the match in numerical inferiority. Afterwards, there is a deflected shot from the frame by the arm of a defender then a wonderful save from Larsonneur. It seems that against us, the goalkeepers always have the right reflexes… But we will continue to work.
Above all, we will have to get points on Saturday at Geoffroy-Guichard against Saint-Étienne. Because the smoldering crisis could, in the event of a new poor performance, this time really burst.
