The third clash of the season against Mountain for GSI Pontivy (Morbihan), this Saturday, November 12, 2022. And in the end, the Gésistes still win…
“We could have scored more”
Against Stade Brestois B, Garde Saint-Ivy Pontivy managed to keep a draw point (1-1), last Saturday, in N3. Taking the lead at the break thanks to a penalty shot by Antoine Héquet, currently 5.e the league’s top scorer with four goals. “We were pretty happy with our first period, with some intensity,” coach Philippe Pinson said. If the mastery of the game was not total, we managed to do what we wanted, more than in Saint-Brieuc. We could have scored more. »
This is regrettable because, faced with the pressure from Brest led among other things by the great activity of Pontivyen Kilian Liri, the team suffered a lot… “The players could not hold the ball.” We tried to defend ourselves, which didn’t really work out for us. If we suffered in the second half, we take a point at the end. »
“The mountain is somewhat in the same situation as us”
This is how it is 3e consecutive match without defeat, after a win against Locminé and a draw in Saint-Brieuc. Even if it’s been a little slow in the last two games, the points counter keeps rolling.
That will therefore be the goal of the short trip to Inzinzac-Lochrist for the Morbihannais derby at La Montagne, this Saturday, November 12, 2022 at 6 p.m. At the moment, Straža leads two sets to zero: 1-0 wins in the friendly and 2-0 in the 3e round of the Coupe de France on September 10. A possible psychological rise suitable for a new positive result?
It will be a good game. The mountain is somewhat in the same situation as us, although we have more points. We will approach this match with a lot of desire to play well and continue to win points. The goal is always there. That the match is enjoyable for both teams and the audience.
“We have become stronger”
Back in the National 3, La Montagne is struggling as it has yet to have success in the league (4 draws and 3 defeats). With the exception that all draws (Locminé, Brest B, Fougères and Milizac) were achieved in Mané-Braz and three defeats outside their bases.
In addition, the addition of experienced defender and former FC Lorient professional Jérémy Morel is an undeniable advantage. This means that the task is not easy and that GSI will have to raise its collective and individual level in order to be the first team to impose itself there. “The most important game is the one to come. We have strengthened on both sides since our clash in the Coupe de France. Yoni Guézello and Raymeric Sonny bring us, for example, a great influence”, concludes Philippe Pinson.
