There’s no time to rest. Just seventy-two hours after the final match of the Ligue 2 ‘regular’ season, Red Star and Rodez are set to face each other in a playoff match on Tuesday (8:30 PM) at the Bauer stadium. This is the first step in their dream of reaching Ligue 1. The winner will then challenge Saint-Etienne on Friday, followed by a hypothetical two-legged tie against the 16th-placed team in Ligue 1. Red Star, whose initial season objective was to remain in Ligue 2, now wants to believe in their chances of discovering the elite next season. ‘We must be ambitious,’ assures Grégory Poirier, the Audoniens’ coach, on the eve of the match.
