New life. This is what Sochaux is looking for before its trip this Saturday to Annecy. The FCSM is far from dying but his 3rd place, which he defends on the occasion of the 14th day of Ligue 2, seems somewhat misleading in view of his last performances. Qualified without glory in the French Cup,
the FCSM will have to rediscover in Haute-Savoie the virtues which were its strength at the end of the summer with this incredible series of 6 victories in a row. Against the promoted from Annecy, 16th, first non-relegation, the Yellow and Blue, of course deprived of Rassoul Ndiaye, suspended, must above all show themselves “pragmatic and efficient” emphasizes his trainer, OIivier Guégan. Clear, “get to the point” .. and therefore win so as not to be left behind by the leading duo, Bordeaux and Le Havre.
A complicated match in perspective
For the Sochaux coach, his team will have to “succeeding in the start of the match, no longer being behind in the score, because we saw it against QRM, it is very energy-consuming to come back to the mark”. Annecy may have won only once at home (with 4 defeats), and have only had one success in their last 5 games, but they are still a difficult opponent for Olivier Guégan. “Against Quevilly, we came across a bone, the best team at the moment, typical of Ligue 2. Annecy is different, they play with heart, they go for the opponent very high, it’s up to us to adapt and be smart on a pitch, open to the four winds, and which will certainly be greasy and degraded over the course of the match” warns the FCSM technician.
Who instead of Ndiaye?
With the suspension of Rassoul Ndiaye, everyone indulges in the little game of his replacement this Saturday in Annecy. Weissbeck who picks up, Lopy revived, or Alvero tenured in Ligue 2? “My choice is made” jokes Olivier Guégan “It will give others the chance to show themselves and show what they are capable of. We do without Weissbeck and we won, we hope to win without Ndiaye even if he is an important player. Some deserve to be launched, others to breathe. But the strength of a group is to seize opportunities, when the door opens, it must not close, that’s the message I passed on to my players” concludes the Yellow and Blue coach.
Tebily out, Do Couto and Lopy in
Words that could suggest that the young Skelly Alvero (excellent at each of his entries in L2 and rather at ease in the French Cup) would hold the rope, knowing that Hermann Tebily, package (injured in the foot in cup), removes an offensive option on the bench. Despite these adjustments, the FCSM seems equipped to return to success. Anyway, his coach is aiming for 30 points at the break. The calculation is therefore simple: he must win at Bonal against Bastia next Saturday and this Saturday at Annecy.
