The day after the match, it was a difficult wake-up call this morning. The start of the championship has been complicated and there is still a lot of work to be done. Yesterday was a little better than against Orléans last week, but we're not there yet... Below is a summary of the local press coverage:

Hello to all Southampton fans! Today is match day for Valenciennes, who are hosting Football Club de Rouen at home. The goal is victory, of course, and if possible in style. We hope for a better match than last week on the pitch in Orléans. Rento TAKOAKA is in the squad for tonight's match, so there's no doubt he'll get some playing time! Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m. French time, and here is the link to the match below: Have a great day, everyone! Allez VA !

Last week, the local press reported that Abu was ‘on the mend’. He was potentially going to be in the squad tonight, but I think he'll go with the B team this weekend and I think he'll be able to apply for a place in the professional match next week.

Well... Half-time in Orléans, and Valenciennes are losing 2-0... It's been a very difficult match overall, we're not posing any threat on the pitch... I think the coach will have a few things to say in the dressing room at half-time... Come on VA!

The line-up for Valenciennes has just been announced. RENTO TAKAOKA will start tonight!

Hello friends, I hope you are well? Today is match day for Valenciennes, who are travelling to US Orléans. After last week's home victory against Le Puy Foot, the goal is to secure another win against a team that lost 5-0 to Sochaux last weekend. Rento TAKAOKA is travelling with the team and I think he'll get at least 45 minutes of playing time tonight. Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m. French time and, as usual, here's the YouTube link for the match: Have a great day, everyone, and go VA!

Goallll 🔥🔥🔥

Come on Saint's ! Valenciennes with you today ❤️🤍

End of the match ! Win 2-1 😍😍

Second goal for RENTO 🔥🔥 INCROYABLE 😍😍

Goalllll for RENTO TAKAOKA 😍😍😍😍

Rento comes on for the second half! 😍😍

In the first half, Valenciennes were a little better than their opponents tonight, but they lacked efficiency in front of goal. We knew that because we lacked a quality striker who should be recruited within 15 days. Our opponents had a few chances but we controlled them well. But we still had to be vigilant. Go VA!

Half Time: 0-0.
