For what must be his last season with professionals, the ex-Rochelais, leader of the Var group, radiates under the colors of his training club.
There is the visual impression and the facts which sometimes come to invalidate this first view. In Toulon, Jérémy Sinzelle (34) rallies the two to his cause and is unanimous in his partners and within the staff. With 1,055 minutes of play in fourteen appearances since the start of this exercise, already almost a third more than last year, the native of Nice is the most used center of the workforce. Black banner targeted above the ears, “sinz” is making the confidence granted. Returning to the fold, these are two seasons, the ex-Rochelais (2017-2022), who has lived a last year below his personal and collective expectations, is precious in a sector hard hit by injuries (Tuicuvu, Fainga ' Anuku, Paia'aua and Smaïli). But let's not be mistaken, he does not play the role of mouth.
Halagahu: “Djé is a coach who plays”
With an understanding of the game above the average in attack and a great defensive rigor, Sinzelle is a basic element for Pierre Mignoni. “I always defended it because I know its potential. […] It has long been criticized, sometimes permanently, and it is terrible. He was not ready for reasons X or Y. But I knew he could bring us what he does now, even at 34. I'm happy for him. He is a child here. It is to say, too, that a guy who comes back is a good thing for the club in general. I think everyone was harder with him compared to that. Fortunately he is there. At his age, we know very well that he is not going to mark a hundred meter test as Gaël Dréan can do but he is precious for the team. He has an important role. “
In this path to the end of his career, Sinzelle transmits her experience to this young Var group and in particular with the Minots of the Rade, those who recovered the torch transmitted from generation to generation. “It's too good to have a player like him, Salvo Matthias H. “Sinz” speaks to us, places us. He has the controller and we are a bit of pawns. On several situations, he tells us how to play. Djé is a coach who plays. He has a crazy experience, he won everything. He knows how the match will go. Even if he groans a little … “ Often described as “the dad” of the workforce, the person concerned, demanding with himself as with the others, does not hesitate to raise his voice when that does not like it.
-It must be said that the former player of the Stade Français only knows the path to the summits too well. In the shadows, he won everything that was possible to do with a Brennus (2015), two Cup challenge (2017, 2023) and a Cup champions (2022). And he intends to resume a small cup in passing, before switching to his new life. Passing her diplomas to train, Sinzelle will remain over time within the institution struck by lily of the valley. Indispensable, therefore, and more than one title.
