It’s a public holiday, the weather is nice. Results : 719 spectators came to the Gaston-Petit stadium on Thursday, November 11 to attend the confrontation between their Berri (National) and Clermont (Ligue 1). On the grass, the aligned teams are very far from those who start the matches in their respective championship. And for good reason there are selected parties to the African Cup of Nations, as well as injured players.
Castelroussins supporters hope to continue the good momentum
Ludovic, trader in Châteauroux, can hardly ever attend meetings scheduled for Friday evening at 7 p.m. So he takes advantage of this holiday to come, and he is confident for the rest of the championship : “There is frankly the best. It may be the start of a great dynamic. I really hope that this is the start of something and that the rise in League 2 will be very real at the end of the season.. “

For Eric, also a Berri supporter, the change of coach has paid off. “It doesn’t always work. At the end of last season with the arrival of Benoit Cauet it did not work. There with a trainer who knows the level perfectly and who has proven himself at the national level, it works. But be careful, even with a quality group, you will have to get a lot more points to get into league 2. “While waiting to keep pace, Berri lost at home 2-1 against Clermont. The Auvergnats led 2-0. After 45 minutes more than interesting, where Clermont leads 1 to 0, La Berri clearly eased off in the second half. The Auvergnats took the opportunity to lead 2-0 before the young Castelroussin Siriné Doucouré narrow the gap in the 89th minute. Final score 2 to 1. The two coaches saw some interesting things for the future.
