Win the duel with Aholou.

At the Saint-Symphorien stadium,

Of the world.

A lot of people.

Several dozen people for sure.

Between 200 and 300 Metz supporters (visibly eh) gathered in front of Saint-Symphorien on Sunday.

The goal, to show the players garnets the importance of this derby of the East.

Nice gesture, although risky given the period ... There is not the problem.

Rather, the concern is that John Boye's partners did not turn this popular momentum into victory.

Or only for about thirty minutes.

Time to open the scoring with Delaine (17th), to walk the Strasbourg people… then to die out.

Thomasson was there and, on a double, came to shower the general enthusiasm.

And Racing signed its first victory in Moselle since 2007.

"We were at the end of our rope"

" I am very disappointed.

We did not manage to give back to the supporters what they had offered us, "admitted defender Dylan Bronn, admitting that his opponents were" more leggy ".

An excuse that his trainer also brandished.

“We were at the end of our rope.

We could not fight physically […] We were always a little behind, ”regretted Fréderic Antonetti, without worrying more than that after this second defeat in a row.

The technician knows it, it's already a small miracle that his group occupies the 7th place after 25 days.

"Where we went up to stay there, we need more arguments," he explains again, happy to now have a week to prepare for the next match in Nice.

“We don't calculate, that's how we have always advanced this season,” concludes Dylan Bronn.
