Ligue 2: Paris FC without Boutaïb and Guilavogui in Guingamp

Caddy and now Boutaïb and Guilavogui. The offensive sector is reduced to a trickle in Paris FC. Even if Thierry Laurey has a certain richness and variety among his attackers, he will have to compose a team without a professional centre-forward this Saturday at Guingamp. If the absence of Warren Caddy, which will last until the end of the month, has been known for a long time, Paris FC lost two new attackers this week.

Author of a successful debut (1 goal, 1 assist, 1 assist which caused a penalty in two games), Khalid Boutaïb suffered from a crutch and was left to rest. He should be back for the clash against Sochaux. The staff did not want to take any risks either with Morgan Guilavogui, on fire since his return from CAN (4 goals in 3 games). The PFC’s top scorer (10 goals), slightly affected, was also rested. Income from a traumatic loan to Créteil, Patrick Koffi who trains with the reserve, is himself injured. To complete the group, Laurey called on Yoann Beaka (18), author of a hat-trick in reserve (N3) last Saturday against Aubervilliers (6-2). There will therefore be five players aged 18 or under (Hadjam, Camara, Koré, Gueho, Beaka) in the group of 18. A first since the PFC is in Ligue 2.

“We saw that Khalid (Boutaïb) had already improved our attacking game in two games,” said Laurey. But it is well worth it for a week of care. We will find different solutions. » Author of a sumptuous goal against Quevilly (3-0), the right winger Lamine Gueye should be aligned in the axis of the attack with Alamami Gory in support. Moustapha Name, the winner of the CAN with Senegal, returns to the middle.

Undefeated for 12 games, Paris FC can break their record for the 2017-2018 season with Fabien Mercadal. “Me, my invincibility record is 17 games with Arles-Avignon but we were playing low, smiles Laurey. We know that one day it will stop, but for the players, it spices up the matches a bit. This allows everyone to tell themselves that we are in a period of success. “The first leg is a bad memory for Paris FC which had conceded its first defeat of the season against a Guingamp goalkeeper, Enzo Basilio in a state of grace (8 saves). The beginning of his bad period.

“It had started to derail a little behind so we hope to avoid that again, continues Laurey. Guingamp have not been consistent this season but they are quite comfortable against the leading teams. They beat Ajaccio even if there were favorable circumstances, they held Auxerre in check. We have to do even better defensively. We sometimes leave balloons to the opponent which can cost us dearly. . Today, 5 teams took a little margin. We know from experience that it is better to be in front than behind. For me, we will see more clearly when we go to Toulouse during the 31st day. »
