The Sporting guys finished their exercise on Sunday in Federal 2 dams, first wrugled with a lack of staff. Illustrating the fact that the recruitment file is now a priority.
The day after defeat on Monday, elimination in the dam of final phases against Casteljaloux (15-28). Sporting rocks and will start a big project. A huge project that will lead him in September for a new Federal 2 campaign.
Huge because it is already announced, three players – Loïc Rouquette, Clément Foulquier and Boris Lac – have argued their right to retirement and their departure. Thus Mickaël Lavergne, the last survivor of the 3rd line, will find himself an orphan of his childhood friends while waiting for the return to the competition of Gaëtan Lozano, operated on the knee and possibly available towards the end of the calendar year. The 2nd line is hardly better Lotie since it only remains Quentin Files and Cédric Delclaux, not enough to restart a season.
“If we do not react now, we will go straight where we do not want to go”
Beyond the front lines, the site is less important behind because it seems that it is in the process of recovery in the coming months. Indeed, returns are already activated as pointed out in the general manager and vice-president of the club Jérôme Accorsi: “ Yes, part of the recruitment will be played internally. We have already been able to see Romain Barascud’s return for two games, Luc Lafon should resume competition in October and we have the agreement given to his friends, his leaders and coaches of Albert Valentin who is committed to one more season after a year of injury. “
-Injuries. The recurring evil having sealed the Decazevillois season, despite a place in the first four of the championship. A lack of workforce which, by runoff, has complicated things to the reserve. But Jérôme Accorsi wants to be optimistic. “”This is the rule, if we do not react now, we will go straight where we do not want to gohe said. We must increase our workforce by 10 to 20 additional players.“And very quickly follow up:”I speak well in the whole, not only to strengthen the one team. “
Five young adults in seniors
The recruitment work has already started and the former scorer is in the starting blocks. “ÇA yeshe laughs. Since January, we are looking for, we have been contacting, we have been trying to convince players in our project. Some have already agreed. These are players who correspond to the idea that we have of the future by registering over time, in a group.“For the moment, Sporting has some certainties.”Already, around fifty players wish to leave “announces the general manager even if he knows all the uncertainty of the words at this time of the season. And to resume: “ In addition to that, we are starting to harvest the fruit of the youth pole. Next season, five players who are 18 will join the seniors. ” The wingers Mathis Dissac and Célian Issoulier-Maquin, the 3rd wing lines Simon Fraux and Anthony Akbas and the N ° 9 Valentin Latapie. “”These are young people that we have already seen on some meetings in seniors and we are very happy to see them pursued in blue and white.“Obviously, for him, this will be the first harvest.”Indeed, with the enormous work that was carried out at the rugby school and the youth pole, I think that every year, we can integrate young players just like Viviez and Capdenac-Gare with whom we are in agreement.“A harvest without direct selling, of a producer also consumer, which will have been cruelly lacking in Sporting in the past five seasons. The recruitment is looming. If the former Decazevillois opener seems to have checked many boxes and therefore players for its back lines, the Mercato des Avants also is in full swing.”Sunday, you lose Loïc, Clément and Boris. Suddenly three players in eight forwards stop or go away. Already digitally, we will have to replace them. We are working on it, we have contacts, some of which are well advanced. We want to recruit guys who will have the state of mind we display.“We will not know more! The battle of recruitment is always playing discreetly and without advancing its pawns too much especially since the department does not full of an exponential pool of players.
Anthony Julian, a last dance!
Despite some who would like to portray a darkest than blue and white table, the club is doing well with a budget of 450,000 euros and its 90 licensees at the youth pole. An end of the season is always synonymous with speculation, questions, Sporting not wishing to deviate from its route. And even if part of its golden generation removes the crampons, the reconstruction is done in peace. Besides, the entire staff is renewed with the exception of the Aurélien Panis preparer who leaves the club after six years of service, to take some rest. However, it should be noted, however, another certainty today: the next SCD campaign will be the last of Anthony Julian at the head of training, after seven years at the controls.
