Trip to Créteil for US Orléans this Friday, April 8, 2022. A match counting for the 29th day of National where Orleans, 9th, confronts theUnion Sportive Creteil Lusitanos, 15th and first relegation. The Paris region team plays its maintenance at this level and will have to take points at home.
Will the USO footballers still wait to concede a goal before reversing the situation in Créteil?
It’s a scenario more than possible because in the last two games in particular, against Avranches and Le Mans, the Orléanais first conceded a goal before scoring twice in the space of two minutes. USO coach Xavier Collin sees him on many meetings. “When we observe, we are a reaction team. You often have to be led to free yourself and react“.
We must approach the matches with more serenity
But for him, it is rather a good thing. “It’s a lack of maturity but the positive side is that we are able, by being led, to react and turn the situation around. Sure, I would like my team to take initiatives and play on its own from the start of the game. It’s also a bit of excitement and a lack of confidence in our potential because today we have to approach matches with more serenity and control..” The coach concludes. “That proves thatwe have players with character so for me it’s very positive.”
The USO group
Last weekend, Timothé Nkada has returned to competition reserved. He played 45 minutes and scored one goal. He returns to the squad against Union Sportive Créteil. The 22-year-old player on loan from Reims had been injured since January. Xavier Collin calls on 17 players and will have to do without Fred Dembi againin recovery, and Jimmy Halby-Touré still in care. The Orleans side sees a specialist for his injury this Friday.
