Geoffray Durbant shone last season in the Stade Lavallois jersey. Club top scorer with 19 goals and one of National’s best attackers, the Guadeloupean is discovering Ligue 2. And he is struggling at the start of the championship. Durbant is yet to find the net. Seven goals scored last season after eight days. There, it is the dry breakdown. A situation that is not easy to live with and doubt sets in for Geoffray Durbant: “yes, it is obvious. When you’re a striker who strings together goals and you haven’t scored for a while, it’s true that it’s going through your head. But I don’t mind. I don’t listen to criticism, it’s part of football and I don’t worry.“
Smile to life
The striker had a few chances in the first matches, but it lacks that little extra that made the difference last season. The 30-year-old is trying to keep his spirits up: “you have to smile at life. It happens this type of period, even to the great players. I focus on work as well as my teammates. It’s up to us to put in the ingredients over the weekend so that luck turns in our favor.”
Geoffray Durbant is in a hurry. In a hurry to score this first goal in Ligue 2 which should relieve him and take away this increasingly heavy weight to carry.
This Saturday, Stade Lavallois travels to Quevilly-Rouen Métropole for the 9th day of Ligue 2.
