day). FC Lorient – Le Havre: 0-0 Not brilliant … but solid! – League 2

Failing to be brilliant, FC Lorient began to show strong enough, this Saturday at Moustoir, to share points (0-0) with Le Havre, another candidate for the L1, which presented itself with a little more certainty than the hake.

"This is a league entry very different from last season," said Lorient defender Felipe Saad. Against Quevilly-Rouen, a promoted, we had had thirty opportunities for the same result (1-1). With the difference that we had not been whistled, I think. Today, we also immediately played against one of the favorites. We could see that we had the weapons to confront it.

Wissa misses a penalty

To face it, and even to win, because in this closed and disputed match on a "sick" lawn (it is attacked by a mushroom) and in bad condition before Even at the beginning of the Interceltic Festival, Wissa created the best opportunity of the match by getting the blame in the box at the expense of the left-wing Le Havre, Coulibaly (34 ') … before his penalty – which would change the face of this meeting – is rejected by Thuram (35 '). However, Lorient suffered in front of a Norman formation that had taken the lead in hand and had started to be the most dangerous (Bazile strikes at 3 'and Bonnet at 9' for example) … and who was also the most ambitious in the last quarter of an hour …

"Do not neglect this point"

"The last ten minutes, we said on the ground: if we can not to win this game, you have to at least not lose it, "said Saad. Before adding: "We lost some points a bit foolishly or even justifiably in the last minutes last season. Also, sometimes you have to know how to keep these points that may prove valuable. We just missed the dams for one point. Although it has obviously not pleased our supporters, we must not neglect this point. To know how to keep what one has been conquered is also a sign of maturity ". At the end of this draw, finally logical enough, Mickael Landreau also preferred to see the glbad half full: "I am very satisfied with the energy deployed, the desire to defend together until the last minute against a top teams on goal kick. We entered this championship. The condition of the lawn did not help us. But my players were able to respond to the physical challenge. Solidity has been shown … "Those who see the glbad half-empty will point out the gaps in construction and finish. The coach did not deny them: "Offensively, we have a job". And this is even more the case when one wishes to settle at the top of this championship of Ligue 2.
