Arriving at the training center, the fields shine under a radiant sun. Erwann Lannuzel, the coach of the N3, and Quentin Barat, the physical trainer are already hard at work on the No. 2 pitch to lead the reserve team's session. 16 players, including 2 goalkeepers (Georges Grimaud and Damien Le Croart) make up the group.
Under the gaze of around fifteen supporters, the N2 group in turn arrives on the main field. As usual, after a brief speech, Bruno Irlès begins the session. Unsurprisingly, Andy Carroll is not present. For his part, defender Djibril Diaw touched the ball individually alongside physio David Das Neves.
A formula with Beugre and Ikia Dimi tested
After a short warm-up, Bruno Irlès wastes no time and works on his tactical animation to create automatisms. He sets up a half-court opposition. The coach already seems to have made his choices by incorporating Étienne Beugre in front of Yanis Merdji and Ikia Dimi on the right wing.
According to an indiscretion heard this morning, the recruits would be qualified for this weekend. Let's wait for this news to be made official by the club. Travis Mutyaba and Amadou Diallo pay the price and play with the sparring partners. The rest is classic.
While Irlès gives instructions at the heart of the game, Dado Prso, further back, does not hesitate to advise the attackers. The training increases in intensity and the duels are fierce. “Only Yanis” create Bahassa. “Ivan returns” said Captain Yambéré. We feel that the players are determined.

Nothing serious for Georges Grimaud
Lannuzel's men finish the session and take the opportunity to observe their colleagues from National 2. Georges Grimaud, who injured his shoulder during the warm-up for the match against Poiré, participated in the entire training with the N3. “Yes, it's okay, I'm fully strapped”, he tells us.
It is in a positive atmosphere that the Girondins first team concludes its training. They still have two days left to finalize the final details before this important trip to face Stade Poitevin this Saturday at 6 p.m. for the 16th day of National 2 of group B.
