Coach Pau demanded to quit the friendly match

In the 15th minute, midfielder David Gomis received a yellow card for a foul on an angouleme player who were playing in the French Fourth Division. Teammate Sessi D'Almeida complained to the Referee Chanel, so he was also warned. Four minutes later, in a tackle that probably only deserved a yellow card, midfielder Eddy Sylvestre again received a straight red card. Centre-back Antoine Batisse immediately reacted and was also shown a yellow card.

This time, coach Tholot could not keep calm. He loudly with the referee, leading to a red card. Unable to keep calm, Tholot asked the entire Pau FC player to leave the field immediately.

Bernard Laporte-Fray, chairman of Pau FC, and Joel Lopez, vice chairman, must stand up and encourage Tholot's teachers and students. They also advised referees to change their minds so as not to affect the Test nature of friendly matches.

After five minutes, the match resumed when Pau had to play without a man. As if things had calmed down, in the 26th minute, referee Chanel again issued a red card to Steeve Beusnard in a non-dangerous tackle.

Sylvestre and Beusnard were deposed, but Pau was allowed to put the player in replacement after a few minutes of missing people. Coach Tholot chose Quang Hai to replace Sylvestre in the 29th minute, then Noe Sow replaced Beusnard 32 minutes.

When there were enough players on the pitch, Paul began to show a two-level gap with Anguraime. In the 38th minute, midfielder Guang Hai got the first chance, but shooting lightly did not make it more difficult for the opposing goalkeeper. The Vietnamese player had another chance in the 70th minute, but this time his shot hit the opposing defender.

It wasn't until the 78th minute that Pau opened the scoring. Left-back Diyaeddine Abzi crossed the ball, causing the Angouleme defence to control the rebound. Striker Walid Jarmouni seized the opportunity to shoot quickly to score the only goal of the match. Pau had a few chances in the remaining minutes but failed to take advantage.

Only winning a goal, but coach Tholot was still satisfied. He said: "We spent three weeks of physical stuffing, and the hot weather made the player not be the best."

Pau is expected to gradually reduce the amount of physical exercises, to prioritize tactics in the following days. They will play a friendly match against Ligue 2 Niort on July 23. After a week, the team played the first match against Ligue 2 against host Guingamp.
