After ten months of work, struggle, hopes, the Périgueux CA season ended on Saturday May 3, during the night of an extension making elimination. The sky and white believed well, their supporters began to imagine the peaks of the Alps seen from Chambéry, the place of the semi-final.
And Crac! Everything stopped because of one of these damn details that make the decision in these clearance matches. “These are the final stages, it is the crumbs that make you win or not, regret, fatalistic, the half of mele Nicolas Faltrept. There is a lot of disappointment because I think we deserved better than that. We entered the game well. It could have switched to us, but we lacked control over the last penaltric five meters from the line, for example. »»
Winner of all the big
One situation among others that would have allowed CAP to continue the season. “We made two or three important errors that made that we could not win,” admits Didier Casadéi, the manager. And then, the Normans showed solidity, even more than the previous week in the regular season in the face of the same training. “At the end, they put big impacts on us, we suffered a little tackles, we had trouble finding the solutions,” recalls Faltrept. “Their game was in place and their 10 [NDLR : Javaux, auteur d’un nouveau 100 %] hurts us, ”says Clément Lanen.

And now ?
The players are not going to go on vacation right away. However, Cyril Couturier was starting to think about it. “We’re going to rest, prepare the end of season trip. The season was long and hard, ”smiled the center when he returned to the locker room. More seriously, he also spoke of “seeing what has sinned”, while ensuring “living [sa] Best life “:” I enjoyed myself, in a magnificent stadium, with a group that was built quickly. We are not cadors but we annoy people. »»Didier Casadéi, he still promised “two or three weeks” of work to players. Then, “we are going to take stock of who stays, who goes away and what we have to try to improve”, sportingly as “in the functioning of the club in general”. The majority of players are still under contract.
It should not be forgotten that this season was beautiful, that the CAP has dominated all the big displacements of the division (paradoxically, only Langon beat it twice), that he achieved his qualification objective, and that he entered his new stadium through the big door.

But the appetite coming by eating, everyone wanted it to last a little more. Except Rouen.
