ROUEN-RED STAR 93, 29/7/2000 (FRIENDLY)
With only a few days left before the start of the championship, here are the conclusions that can be drawn from a goal-less friendly at Rouen. On the positive side, no goals conceded, better ball circulation, especially in the first half. On the down side, however, not many goalscoring opportunities for the strikers. This is the main problem to address in the coming days. Lets hope that on Saturday in Burgundy, a surprise win will be the best way to get the season off to a start for a squad which posesses all the qualities to be up there with the leaders in the National.
