Loaned to Valenciennes for a few weeks, Ousmane Touré experienced his first success on Saturday. The latter proves remarkable in view of adversity: Nancy, leader of National.
“I'm not going to say that I feel disoriented but… Let's say that it makes me feel good to discover something new”recently launched Ousmane Touré who left his Lille cocoon for the very first time in his career. Not very far from Lille, in Valenciennes, he discovered the third level of French football: the National. Initially frustrated by an elimination in the Coupe de France, Vincent Burlet (Le Mans FC) got the better of his former reserve friend, he experienced his first start in the championship on Saturday, and it went well.
Traveling to AS Nancy-Lorraine, the Valenciennes were not the favorites, far from it. This reality was heightened just a few minutes after the kick-off, and the opening score of Benjamin Gomel (10′). The reaction was fortunately immediate with Mathias Ayewusi's quick equalizer (13'). The match then became a fight that the visitors (11th, 21 pts) won as soon as they returned from the locker room (Bass, 51′). They could thus raise their arms (1-2) with this success pocketed on the lawn of the leader of National (30 pts), just that.
Starting in central defense, Ousmane Touré truly experienced a double first. An individual, his tenure for 90 minutes and his first yellow card, as well as a collective first. Valenciennes FC had simply not won a single match this season in the league. The Ousmane Touré effect is immediate!
