FC Metz, clumsiness! Last night on the occasion of the 7th day of Ligue 2, the Garnets were held in check by FC Annecy. Final score: 0 to 0.
Faced with the promoted Haut Savoyard, courageous and brave, and who moreover finished the match at 10 after the expulsion of former Messin Ahmed Kashi (80 ‘), the club at the Croix de Lorraine did not know how to concretize his dominance.
Too much waste, a cruel lack of imagination, and a little physical and psychological fatigue – it was all the same FC Metz’s 3rd match in 6 days and the very first post summer transfer window, which ended Thursday evening .
After the victory in Rodez, last Tuesday (1-4), Garnet captain, Matthieu Udol regrets this slack.
