Even a victory may not be enough for the Bergeracois. While the Bergerac Périgord Football Club faces the Montpellier reserve this Saturday, May 28, at the Stade de Campréal, the club is also hoping for a misstep from the leader, Puy. Compulsory condition to go up in the higher division, the National.
The important thing is the 60 points
For the last time of the season, the players and the staff of the BPFC meet on the lawn of their training ground, this Friday, May 27, the day before the match. After a long season: 40 games, 5 to 6 training sessions per week on average since June 25. But above all a season full of emotion with the Coupe de France (eliminated in the 1/4 final by Versailles, after dismissing Metz and Saint-Etienne), it’s a highlight.
It’s a shared feeling, there is a nostalgic side, but also the desire to do well before this game at stake – Erwan Lannuzel
The coach begins his speech with rationality, the objective on Saturday is clear:“We have 57 points, we want to get the season to 60 points. First focus on us and then after we will wait for a possible misstep from Puy”. Because the calculation is simple: To be able to go up in National, Bergerac must do better than the leader of the classification, a point in advance. The scenario is not the simplest.
Erwan Lannuzel ends with the irrational. “Because this season has been irrational, so why not continue?” He does not hide it, on the edge of the field, a telephone will be connected to the remote match. “I think there will be a staff member dedicated to that. But I won’t look. We have to be focused first on our ability to win and then we will look at what happens when the match may be won.”
Bergerac against the Montpellier reserve, it’s in Campréal this Saturday evening. Kick-off at 6 p.m., live on France Bleu Périgord.
