Arnaud Archimbaud, how do you feel about a match that you dominated but ultimately lost 3-2?
From the end of the match, there was a lot of disappointment and frustration among the players.
Have you, since the start of the season, dominated an opponent as much?
I don’t think so, and having had so many chances, either …
Your goalkeeper didn’t have a single stop to make in the second half …
No, he doesn’t. After the three goals conceded, he had no stopping to make. Lorient does not have a single situation where they put us in difficulty. In the second half, we mobilized the ball, we won all the duels. This is the first time that we have achieved such a successful second period. And them, this is the first time of the season that they have been so badly handled.
Chartres challenges the leader of Lorient
Four clear chances in the second half, not to mention a cross that passes in front of the goal at the last second …
Yes, we had a lot of situations. On the result, we are frustrated … The start of the game, it must be completely swept away. We started off with the wrong plan, we gave them too much latitude. But we still created opportunities in this first half hour when Lorient scored three times… In the second half, we went looking for them much higher, we prevented them from coming out. This second half is fundamental for the future.
A successful second period but, in the end, a negative result since Versailles won …
Yes, that is what is unfortunate. We showed such strength of character, but we don’t take points! But this match, as I said, perhaps founder because we competed with a team which has quality players, more than in the other clubs of the pool.
“The feeling of having played a good game but we come back with nothing! “

Even if there is defeat, can we speak of a benchmark match?
In Saint-Pryvé (note: 2-0 victory, September 25), we had been consistent in the state of mind. But, in Lorient, we were exemplary in terms of the game over the second half, we had a monopoly on the ball. Our two central defenders have spent their time in the opposing camp, for my part, this is the first time that I have made so many crosses …
A word about your “failed” penalty …
It is not necessarily badly shot, it is the goalkeeper who chooses the good side. I have no regrets about my shot, but rather on the physiognomy of the match because I tell myself that it can be 3-3 …
And you have a new penalty ten minutes later …
Yes. If I score the first, does the referee give us the second?
n Was there any discussion about who was going to shoot it?
No. I didn’t go there instinctively because I don’t necessarily like to take a second penalty in the same match, missed or not. It made sense for Adama (Sidibé) to take it. We have fencers designated naturally, with also Maxime (Fleury) who scored one in the Coupe de France.
In the story, you have a good match, but …
What’s horrible is that we always felt that there was room to do better, to get at least one draw. And then we came across a guard who had the baraka. It was his evening… You have to make mistakes to learn. There (at the start of the match), it costs us 3 points, but over time, it will bring us much more. We have the feeling of having had a good match but we come back with nothing!
