It’s almost an obsession for Erwan Lannuzel’s men. Do “6 out of 6”, as Bergerac captain Damien Fachan says. Take the six points in the last two games of the season. The Bergerac Périgord Football Club travels to the Firmin Daudou stadium to face Trélissac FC this Saturday, May 21 at 6 p.m., for the Périgord football derby in National 2. Matches always tough – it’s a question of departmental supremacy. But this year, Bergerac is playing particularly big.
Distance duel between Bergerac and Le Puy
The Bergeracois were overtaken in the Group D classification by Le Puy, the leader, who has a small point lead in the classification. In other words, it will be necessary to hope that the Auvergnats stumble on at least one of the two matches to regain first place, synonymous with a rise in National. Le Puy is also playing a derby this weekend, against Andrézieux. But he remains on a good series, while the Bergeracois show signs of fatigue. The epic in the Coupe de France, and this season spent prancing in first place, with the pressure that this generates, are not for nothing.
We will have to take the three points to be still alive on the last day
The Bergerac Périgord Football Club has just had a defeat in Campréal against Andrézieux, with the expulsion of Samir Bakir, its striker who took three games of suspension, and a frustrating draw against Les Herbiers. But for these last two games, the motivation is maximum: “This first match at Trélissac remains a derby and I am convinced that Trélissac will play the match thoroughly. We will have to take the three points to be still alive on the last day”warns Damien Fachan.
A derby under the heat and without gauges
It’s a derby. A real. And nothing to do with the sad 0-0 of the first leg in Campréal, under minus three degrees this winter, with barely more than 300 supporters at the stadium because of the sanitary gauge. Saturday evening in Trélissac, the stadium will be full. The temperature in the stands, close to 30 degrees. And derby obliges, it promises to be very hot on the ground as well. Trélissac has nothing to play for this season, the team saved its place in national 2 last weekend.
But in front of their public, the Trélissacois will not let go: “We play a derby, it’s to win it”, warns Fabrice Faure, the president of the Trélissac club. His Bergerac counterpart Christophe Fauvel warns: “Any result other than a win at Trélissac would be a bad result for Bergerac”. All this promises a good show.
