Brilliant at the opening against Saint-Etienne, the DFCO did not know how to shine again, for their first trip of the season on Saturday August 6, 2022. On the lawn of Pau, at the Stade du Hameau, in a somewhat stifling heat near 30 degrees at 9 p.m., Omar Daf’s men concede a draw: 0-0. While waiting for the last match of this 2nd day on Monday evening, the DFCO is 3rd in Ligue 2.
Omar Daf’s reaction
Not everything is to be thrown away, far from it. “I’m disappointed, I think we had the best chances. We’re on the second day of the championship. The team went ahead. He lacked the mastery and technical accuracy to create gaps , but on the investment of the boys there is nothing to say”.
Some satisfactions
On the line of his first outing (a goal and an assist against ASSE), Bryan Soumaré tried a lot, starting from his right lane, chaining dribbles and passes in the intervals.
Scorer in the first match, Mickael le Bihan remained silent, not but inactive. In a remote position compared to Idrissa Camara, he weighed in the construction. Without success.
The central hinge provides more and more certainty, with the Zargo Touré – Daniel Congré association. “On the defensive side, it’s a satisfaction. They met my expectations. They released a lot of serenity even when Pau had situations” Daf analysis.
It is also necessary to underline the first entry into play of the new n°10 of the DFCO Xande Silva. On his left wing and in the axis, the Portuguese had two chances, but stumbled on the goalkeeper. An entry appreciated by Omar Daf: “Dynamic, he brought us percussion, madness, he put danger, he put this team on the back foot”.
