Come on you Saint's ! 🤝💪

My sincere congratulations on your victory today, and in style, my friends! The current coach seems well on his way to keeping his job!

If I may say so, it is not the majority of supporters who are calling for Sport Républic de Valenciennes to leave. Most of them know that it will take time for SR to succeed in their project to get the club back into the top divisions. So, yes, there is impatience, and that's normal. There is also frustration that things are not going as we would like, and I, for one, would love to see the club do much better in sporting terms, but overall, the supporters accept the club's current situation, even if it is inevitably taking a long time for some...

National : « Une leçon de Grinta ! », Valenciennes s’est loupé et bascule du côté obscur - La Voix du Nord

Hello friends, I hope you are all well? Reaction the day after the match, as you saw, a 0-2 defeat against FC Fleury, an unfortunately predictable result... Fleury played well and we weren't able to play our game, which is a shame because a win would have moved us up a few places in the table... We were on a good run and I was hopeful that we would play well, but yesterday was very difficult... Our players are still talented, most of them are familiar with the French league, and many supporters are asking questions... I'm sharing a press article from today below. I wish you a good match, friends in Southampton. Allez VA!

Hello friends, I hope you are all well at the start of winter. News from Valenciennes: after the draw against Versailles two weeks ago, our team played a friendly match last Friday against the Belgian team RAAL La Louvière (two 60-minute halves, final score 2-2). The match was played behind closed doors at the Stade du Hainaut. Today, it's back to league action with a home game, again at the Stade du Hainaut, against Parisian club FC Fleury 91. Our opponents tonight played in National 2 last year and have just been promoted to the same league as us. We hope the momentum will continue with a victory tonight. Kick-off is at 7.30pm French time and the match will be broadcast on the YouTube link below: Have a great day and allez VAFC!

Revieuw press for Valenciennes team: VAFC : trois matchs pour espérer ou se désespérer - La Voix du Nord

look this press revieuw of Valenciennes B team after the game yesterday: « Si ça continue, il n’y a rien à faire », Valenciennes s’offre aussi l’invincibilité de Maubeuge - La Voix du Nord

Speaking of Dierrick ABU, despite what some people may think, I have some news! He is currently playing for our reserve team and yesterday he played the entire match. Our reserve team is leading the 6th division (regional 1) championship. The team was relegated from the 5th division last year and the goal is to bounce back immediately.

Press revieuw after the match: VAFC : quand El Hadary va tout va, malheureusement il n’a pu jouer qu’une mi-temps… - La Voix du Nord

To be honest, I don't have much news about Dierrick, but I'll try to find out more soon.

Our biggest flaw at the moment is that we're not clinical enough; we need to be much more effective in front of goal. In the first half especially, we had the chance to score two or three goals, but we only scored one... I think signing another effective striker in January would be a good idea... It's a real shame because this lack of efficiency in front of goal allows our opponents to believe they can win, and that's what happened again last night... In the second half, there was a difficult period and we had two players taken off with potential injuries (Ylan El Hadary and Streddair Oyuzu Appua)... We conceded a few more chances and Versailles wanted to get back into the game, which they unfortunately managed to do... There's no league match next week, but the coach has announced a friendly match against a Belgian Division 1 team.

The match has just ended at the Versailles stadium. Despite a good performance overall, VA conceded a draw (1-1). There was clearly an opportunity to take all 3 points tonight... Have a good evening and allez VA! ❤️🤍

Half-time in Versailles! Valenciennes are ahead thanks to Ylan El Hadary's goal in the 4th minute. (0-1). Valenciennes are putting up a fight in this first half. Let's hope for more of the same in the second half. Allez VA! ❤️🤍

For the little history, Jean Louchet was one of the first recruits of the Sport Republic era. Spotted by our goalkeeper coach, he is now the only remaining player from the 15 recruits of summer 2023. He quickly became one of the most beloved players among supporters, but was unable to prevent the team's relegation to the third division... Last year, he started the championship before suffering a serious injury that kept him off the pitch for eight months. During his recovery, he even extended his contract with us until 2027. He regained his place in the starting line-up at the beginning of the season and I think he hasn't been at his best so far, but overall, he has an exemplary mentality and is very demanding of himself and others. Jean, like the other players, is capable of doing better and must do better, that's for sure!
