The place that Mendiburu and his companions would have claimed, without the context that everyone knows. Because even if the results gathered in recent weeks probably do not approve it, the investment deployed by the Angloys is certainly not compensated at its true value.
Goal hat…
You had to see the first minutes of this Catalan-Basque mano a mano yesterday! A real trench war, in which the midfield battle raged for the ball. But after a short half hour, the Canet players got into formation. And El Khiar made the visiting nets tremble for the first time (1-0, 27th), almost repeating a breath further. A first yes… Because if nothing changed before the break, the Roussillon midfield, author of an outstanding performance, executed a masterful lob from midfield (2-0, 50th).
The beginning of the end for Anglet? Not at all! In a defense error on a corner, Laplace gave hope to his team to finally “settle the score” in Catalonia (2-1, 51st). But, with experience and facing the visitors’ young talent, Canet defended before forcing Ariztimuno into an own goal (3-1, 75th). A true anvil on the neck. Far from giving up, the visitors threw their last forces into the battle, emptying the bench to try to turn the situation around. But nothing changed.
Nothing could prevent the Anglet Gens from suffering a seventh defeat of this 2025-2026 two-speed vintage. While victories become rarer. Cruel disillusionment. Now, there is nothing left but to snatch one last success, next weekend, with the reception of Lège-Cap-Ferret. A last happiness, which is taking a little too long…
He said
Cédric Pardeilhan, Anglet coach: “We had a good first half hour, where we could have taken the lead if we had capitalized on our opportunities. Then we conceded that goal. The other two are avoidable, and are due to errors on our part… But I can’t blame the players. The situation is difficult, we travel by minibus, and there were guys who had never experienced the N3 level. Obviously, I don’t like to lose, I am a competitor. But I can’t blame the players, who continue to give their all, whether on the field or in training. They don’t cheat. Now, the goal is clearly to finish the season with a victory against Lège next Saturday.
