Take points or play, you have to choose. Faced with Monaco this Sunday afternoon, the Stade de Reims first wanted to reassure themselves by stopping the bad momentum created on the basis of very unfavorable scenarios which had won two defeats, against Troyes and Bordeaux. To achieve this, in front of its audience, the Stade de Reims first relied on its executives. With a Yunis Abdelhamid and Wout Faes solids, a Pedrag rajkovic vigilant, and a Moreto Cassama in the oven and in the middle of the field, the Rémois have rediscovered collective values which have given the Rouge et Blanc a solidity and rigor worthy of previous seasons.
The delicate start to the match, however, gave some fears to some 12,000 spectators of Delaune. But very quickly, the Rémois were able to respond to the physical duel imposed by the Monegasques. And at the intensity proposed in the middle, the proteges ofOscar Garcia answered with depth. Not enough to find Hugo Ekitike or Alexis Flips in the depth. Alone Anastasios Donis, striking on his left side, was able to open a few breaches in the solid Monegasque defense. Not enough, however, to create a real offensive danger. In the end, the chances were rare and the draw was logical. A point which does not allow the Stade de Reims to escape from the end of the ranking further intensified by the victories of Brest and St-Etienne. It will be a question of definitively breaking the bad spiral in two weeks, in Strasbourg. It will not be easy.
