Back in Ligue 2 last year after 6 years in the top flight, including a terrible last season, Guingamp has not managed to go directly back to Ligue 1. Too irregular on the ground and unstable behind the scenes, the Bretons do not finished only 8th in the standings. This new season has not started well for the Trégorois. Disrupted in their preparation by about fourteen of the entire workforce, they showed significant gaps during the first day against Niort and were beaten from the start in Roudourou (0-1). The following week, they achieved a much more convincing performance in Nancy but were weighed down by the catastrophic performance of their new goalkeeper Larsen guilty of two serious blunders. Despite everything, they managed to snatch the draw in added time. However, these two results were fatal to coach Sylvain Didot who was thanked by the club, replaced by Micha Bazdarevic. However, the club suffered serious internal turmoil again this week. Present for 10 years but contested internally, President Desplat tendered his resignation Tuesday evening. He could bring football director Xavier Gravelaine in his suitcases.
On the Le Havre side, the start of the season is much less hectic. 6th in the last season, the Normans missed the boat and could have secured a place in the play-offs last year if the season had been able to come to an end. Little in sight during their summer preparation, the men of Paul le Guen started with a setback conceded on the lawn of Troyes (2-0). But before the international break, they regained some confidence by winning against Amiens (1-0).
The workforce for Guingamp vs Le Havre
Guingamp brought in goalkeeper Larsen (Brondby), central defender Sampaio (Tondela), Belgian side Diagne (Ostend), Paul Georges Ntep (Wolfsburg) and experienced Romao (Reims) who made his debut against Nancy. In addition, the important Livolant (Sochaux) and Rebocho (Besiktas) returned to En Avant this summer. On the other hand, the porter Caillard and the menhir Kerbrat left the club. In the infirmary, we find striker Pierrot, midfielders Phiri and Ba and defensive rookie Sampaio. On top of that, PSG-trained defender Eboa Eboa suffered a serious injury against Nancy and rookie Ndenbe is also absent. Very feverish against Nancy, goalkeeper Larsen could be replaced in the cages by his understudy Basilio.
Le Havre had to recover from the departure of its striker, Timo Kadewere (20 goals), and his midfielder Pape Gueye who joined Lyon and Marseille respectively. On the other hand, Mbemba (Reims), Gibaud (Grenoble), Cornette (Amiens) and Alioui (Monaco) joined the HAC. If midfielder Fontaine has served his suspension well, defender Ersoy still has one game to serve, as does the all-important Mbemba who was sent off in the last game. Finally, recruit Gibaud is on the floor.
