Ligue 1: against Angers, AC Ajaccio wants to “stop the bleeding”

This Wednesday, February 1, AC Ajaccio travels to Angers during the 21st day of Ligue 1. An important match in terms of maintaining the Ajaccio club.

It is an important match in view of the maintenance that the ACA (18th in L1 – 15 points) is about to play tonight against SCO Angers (20th – 8 points), during the 21st day of Ligue 1 .

The Whites and Reds remain on 4 consecutive defeats in the league, despite an interesting performance last Sunday against Olympique Lyonnais (2-0 defeat).

The goal is clear for coach Olivier Pantaloni: “stop this bleeding and regain points quickly so as not to already be left behind by the teams ahead of us”.

The meeting this Wednesday evening against a formation in full doubt (12 consecutive defeats in the league) promises not to be decisive but crucial, to leave a direct opponent at a distance for the maintenance.

Opponent precisely that the Ajacciens had beaten, on December 28 in Timizzolu (1-0), during the last success of the men of Olivier Pantaloni in L1.

Several players will be missing for this trip: Benjamin Leroy, the goalkeeper injured during the last training session last Sunday before Lyon, Mathieu Coutadeur (midfielder and captain of the sport) or the long-time injured like Romain Hamouma, Yoann Touzghar and Youssouf Koné.

Note at the end of the transfer market, the arrival of a new element in the ranks of the ACA.

It is a striker Moussa Djitté (23), a Senegalese who played in Major League Soccer, the North American championship, in Austin.

Trained in Senegal, he notably played in D1 Switzerland at FC Sion and in Ligue 2 at Grenoble.
