The red lantern of the championship, which must play Ajaccio on Wednesday December 28 for the resumption of the French championship, is preparing to see its two attacking environments. -Durand (Angers, correspondent)
Angers SCO and Paris Saint-Germain have at least one thing in common. During the semi-final of the World Cup between France and Morocco, on December 14, the two clubs in Ligue 1 were the only ones to have two of their players on the lawn: Achraf Hakimi and Kylian Mbappé on the Parisian side, Azzedine Ounahi and Sofiane Boufal side Angevin. The comparison stops there between the leader of the French championship (41 points after 15 games, including 13 wins and 2 draws) and the red lantern (8 points, with only 2 wins for 2 draws and 11 losses).
Embersed in his sporting torments – confirmed by the dismissal of his coach, Gérald Batic, on December 22 – financial and judicial (its president, Saïd Chabane, is targeted by a correctional referral on June 14, 2023 for facts of Sexual harassment in seven young women), the Angevin club sees a rai of light thanks to its two fields of field, brilliant in Qatar.
But this glimmer of hope seems more financial than sporting for a club which intends to capitalize on their performances to replenish its funds, while the winter transfer window is already looming. On RTL, on December 16, Saïd Chabane (who did not wish to respond to the world) confirmed that European recruiters were already working at his door concerning Azzedine Ounahi (22). “We have approaches to major clubs and average clubs. It comes from everywhere. Italy, Spain, England, France. Our wish is to find a deal in January, but that it stays until the end of Season. “
The Fatalism of the President
The sums that circulate (up to 45 million euros on the side of Leicester) are to be taken with tweezers for the Angevin club, that the COVVI-19 crisis and the Mediappro crash had left with a deficit of 37 million euros, but augur on an unexpected added value. Azzedine Ounahi had been recruited in Avranches, National Club, in July 2021, for a sum estimated at € 450,000.
Evoking her future and that of Sofiane Boufal on December 11 on RMC, Saïd Chabane did not hide a certain fatalism. “In January or June, they can go. We prepare for everything.” And to add: “We can never hold back a player who wants to leave. The return will be complicated after such an event. You are not The same. We must rework your head, the physique, the environment. Everything will change for them. “President Angevin and his new director of communication, ex-journalist Mohamed Sifaoui, are locking all access to all access to their two Moroccan players.
