A last affordable match before tackling the peaks of the National ranking? This Friday, February 18, theUS Orleans welcomes the Briochin Stadium at the Source stadium at 7 p.m. The Bretons are 11th, five points from Orleans, 9th. But after the snatch victory against Red Star on Monday, beware of relaxation against eye-catching Bretons who should operate on the counter. “We expect a very difficult game. The coach was very vigilant about this to remind us that it’s never easy to move a low compact block. So you’ll have to be good. Technically, we will have to be patient and attentive defensively. And never feel safe“, argues Stone Mambo.
The Orleans central defender, a convincing starter in Xavier Collin’s 3-5-2 since the victorious reception of Sedan thanks to the Cédric Yambere’s injurydoes not explain the current success of the USO and its five wins in six games by the only change of tactical device: “More than the system, since the Bourg match (1-0 victory, editor’s note), I think it’s really a state of mind that has evolved on the pitch. I think we are making a lot more effort, we are much more in the positive energy. We move for each other. We try to spread really good vibes. We have given and we are receiving the fruit of our work. Several factors also make us successful today. But this is no coincidence. I think it’s a lot of work and a bit of achievement.”
At the USO of maintain this very beautiful seriesto join the chasing teams and go even more confident in Haute-Savoie, where we will know more about the ambitions what the Orleans team can feed for the end of the season.
The US Orleans group
Facing the Bretons, Xavier Collin summoned practically the same group as that selected on Monday to face the Red Star. Except for Djessine Sebathe central defender returns from suspension and should be the starter in the famous 3-5-2 from the US Orleans. In contrast, Cédric Yambéré and Timothé Nkada are still not operational. Both players returned to training this week, the centre-back is “too fair“according to his coach, as for the striker on loan from Reims, he felt a new pain in his hamstrings and will pass new exams.
