At the start of the final sprint, “Le Parisien” invites you to take a tour of the football program in Ile-de-France, from National to National 3 via National 2. A weekend that is still very important to all levels. The female D1, the national U19 and U17 are taking a break.
The poster of the weekend: Fleury-Haguenau
Before their “final” of group B of National 2 on Saturday April 30, Paris 13 Atletico (1st) and Fleury (2nd at 3 points) do not want to drop points this Saturday. Fleury, who has not lost since January 15 (7 wins, 3 draws), has come a long way behind Atletico, which experienced a little slack with 3 defeats in 3 games before reviving last Saturday against Saint- Quentin (2-0). Carried by an Anthony Petrilli on fire this season (16 goals), the Essonne team receives Haguenau (11th).
The anecdote: the call to Lensois supporters
Relegation since the start of the season, the reserve of Lens has returned to a point of the 13th and first non-relegation, Metz. A return that generated a big mobilization around this match against Paris 13 Atletico. On social networks, a hashtag #TousABlin (the François-Blin d’Avion stadium) was launched to encourage Lensois supporters, deprived of travel to PSG, to come and encourage their young people. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (Strasbourg), trained in Lens, as well as Tom Ducrocq (on loan to Bastia) and Charles Boli (on loan to Vicenza) have also published support videos. If the Lensois supporters respond to this call, Paris 13 Atletico risks evolving in a rather unusual atmosphere in National 2…
The question: Does Créteil show his last card?
With potentially six points behind Sète (who should have won the match on green carpet against Red Star) who received a visit a few days ago from a prestigious adviser, Rolland Courbis, Créteil, 16th of National, plays big this Friday at the Duvauchelle stadium against Villefranche, 3rd and in the race for the rise in L2.
“Villefranche plays the leading roles and possibly the place of roadblocker. We have to focus on ourselves to tip the details on our side. The players must also realize that, now, in the final stretch, each error, each act, each gesture will be important for the future, ”warns Emmanuel Da Costa, the coach of Créteil.
The match to go: Racing – Aubervilliers
A fortnight ago, the atmosphere was good at the Stade Yves-du-Manoir in Colombes for the Racing – PSG match (5-0). The public responds more and more present to follow the team of Guillaume Norbert, undefeated since September. Against Aubervilliers, 3rd and who have won 5 of their last 6 games, the meeting promises. This weekend could also be the right one for Racing, leader with 13 points ahead of the Paris FC reserve which cannot go up to National 2.
A success against Aubervilliers combined with a defeat or a draw for Blanc-Mesnil at Brétigny would mathematically ensure the rise of Racing this weekend. “Even if today we have a lead which may appear to be comfortable, it is forbidden to slack off, to give in to complacency. We have a job to finish to achieve this objective and the whole group is aware of it,” underlines coach Guillaume Norbert.
Player to watch: Franck Betra
If the Lusitanos Saint-Maur could not keep pace with the two leaders of group B of National 2, Paris 13 Atletico and Fleury, and are now just playing to keep their honorary place on the podium, certain elements have managed to emerge. This is the case of Franck Betra, the 25-year-old center forward, author of 10 goals in 22 games.
Arrived this season at the Lusitanos after two seasons cut short by the Covid in Bobigny and Angoulême, he knew the professional world very young abroad. At 17, he had indeed signed for Sheffield Wednesday (England) before leaving for Greece (NOT Giannina) and Kosovo (KF Trepça 89).
