Le Mans FC won the 3-2 victory against Angers in preparation. Coach Patrick Videira said: 'As I told the players, the important thing is to continue to advance. We made good things, it's a shame we missed efficiency. After the selfless effort at the end, playing with ten, it's important because it could happen to us. It's interesting. Both clubs had the will to win. We enter a second phase of preparation, we get closer and closer to August 22. It's not a stressed group, it lives very well. It takes things as they should come. We must be able to keep this carefree form. We must not change our mentality but we must be able to become a Ligue 1 team. All these matches must allow us to grow. We made mistakes, we had technical waste, we'll have to have as little as possible. We must be able to do better, have the management of the players who leave from the second line, without being obsessed with the ball. Character and response, it's a bit our trademark since two years. There are positive things, enormous energy waste, even for the players who only played a quarter of an hour. We must just win in offensive and defensive efficiency. If there is response and character in this team? It's not new. Like me? Maybe. It's a bit our trademark since two years. We always said that individually, we didn't have the best players, but collectively we must be able to do things. We need to have character and an incredible state of mind. We must not lose it. Le Mans FC is currently 2nd in Ligue 2, with 62 points, 16 wins, 14 draws and 4 losses in 34 matches. The goals have been scored at a ratio of 50 goals for and 31 goals against, which gives a total of +19 goals.
