The weeks go by and Friday evenings are still disappointing for the representatives of the Ile-de-France and the Oise in National. Affected by the Covid, the Red Star saw its match in Boulogne postponed. But Chambly, hooked by Saint-Brieuc (1-1) and Créteil, beaten by Le Mans (2-3), remain in the red zone, in 15th and 16th places.
What you must remember
A cruel scenario for Creteil, beaten by Le Mans during additional time (2-3, 90 + 3) despite 10 shots including 8 on target. Deprived of Mandanda, Ndiaye, Soaré, Pembelé, Chergui and Diarra (Covid and injuries), the Cristolian team which finished the match 9 against 10 (2 reds) had been behind twice in the score but had managed to come back each time. once thanks to a double from Alexis Araujo.
Kevin Farade can regret his three missed opportunities. Even though National’s worst attack (12 goals before this match) managed to score twice, this team remains very fragile. If he manages to win his duel (85th) against Donisa (ex-Red Star), Romain Cagnon, the lining of Riffi Mandanda trained at OM, is crucified on a counter concluded by Bègue. For once, Créteil did not deserve this. This is the first time in 9 games that Le Mans has won at the Duvauchelle stadium.
Still no success Chambly who has not won since October 22 with a series of seven games (2 draws, 5 defeats). But the relegated from L2 at least found the resources to equalize at the end of Guillaume Heinry’s match (1-1, 85th) against Saint-Brieuc. Led on a penalty converted by Théo Bloudeau (0-1, 33rd), Chambly had found the bar twice by Johanne Akassou (42nd, 72nd). The Oise team remains relegated (15th) and its almost derby next Friday at Red Star will be worth a lot.
Player: Alexis Araujo
The small attacking midfielder (1.68 m) from Créteil celebrated the 100th game of his career in National with a double. Araujo (25) scores his first league goals with Créteil where he arrived this summer. But that was not enough for Créteil to win. Trained in Lille (1 game), the Franco-Portuguese has 37 games in L2 with Gazélec Ajaccio and has also played in Dunkirk, Boulogne, Lyon-Duchère and Quevilly RM where he met Cristolian coach Emmanuel Da Costa.
The number: 3
The number of red cards during Créteil – Le Mans. Créteil finished the match 9 against 10 with the expulsion of Ndinga (53rd) for two yellow cards and Julien Serrano, for an excess of commitment on an offensive phase (85th) just a few minutes after entering the game. necessarily the dream debut for Serrano, the former defender of Monaco where he won the Gambardella Cup in 2016, who was playing his first league match with Créteil. In numerical inferiority, the Cristoliens cracked in the 93rd minute.
The reaction
“This loss hurts. I get a lot of frustration out of it. We lead the game alone with gross errors. The first two goals are largely avoidable. I’m not going to go back over the refereeing decisions but there were far too many cards… We see that when important players aren’t there, it’s less fluid. But I’m not going to scold those who played. Considering the circumstances, the content, they were deserving and I’m pretty proud of them. I am disappointed for them, the staff, the club. The best team was not rewarded. At the very least, we deserved a draw. » Emmanuel Da Costa, coach of Créteil.
