That was the big concern before this match: what face would we see on the USO side, with a completely redesigned team? For this 11th day of the championship against Paris 13 Atletico, Xavier Collin had to do without a dozen players due to injury (Akassou, N’diaye, Dabasse…) and suspension (Fortuné, Saint-Ruf, Mambo, Solvet). Result: a very experimental team on the lawn of Charléty, with many young players.
If they made no mistakes and knew how to stay solid, the Orléanais delivered a very bland performance in the offensive field, despite this red card for the Parisian Haddad in the 42nd. A numerical superiority which was felt in the second half from a visual point of view, since the control of the game was on the side of the Yellow and Red. But apart from this head of Lucas Bretelle which passes over at the end of the match, the USO did not have any big chances, did not know how to undermine this very grouped Parisian block. Too bad, this Orleans youth nevertheless has in it this madness to pack this type of meeting.
man of the match
Complicated to take out a player from the lot in this rather dull match. Clément Akpa delivered a solid performance in central defense, being aggressive in the duels and trying to bring the surplus with his races. For his first tenure in National, the young Lucas Bretelle proved that he had the technical and physical qualities to be a credible solution in midfield.
sentence of the day
“When a team doubts, you take an inbound post, you when you make a post, it’s outgoing. They have to rectify this situation, but when you see their team… Tonight, even if it’s been reorganized, most of the people of Orleans are starters with us. Once the USO kicks in, this team will be very hard to stop.” analyzed Vincent Bordot, the former coach of Saint-Pryvé and now on the bench of Paris 13 Atletico.
The number of the day
9: with this draw against Paris 13 Atletico, the Orleans share the points with their opponents for the 9th time of the season. The long-awaited victory will wait… perhaps this Friday, November 11 for the reception of Avranches at the Stade de la Source?
