The Castonétois (12th) travel, Sunday November 3 at 3 p.m., to the red lantern, Bordeaux II. A special match against a team which had to withdraw during the first day of the championship, due to a lack of available players, and which remains with two drawn results. Atmosphere.
The stadium
For its fourth reception of the season, the Girondins reserve, whose first team now plays in N2, welcomes Onet to Saint-Médard-en-Jalles. After being withdrawn during the inaugural day, the Bordelais received in Arsac the first time, then in Saint-Médard twice. This will therefore be the third time that they will play on this natural lawn near Haillan, the Aquitaine training center. “I don’t know anything about this stadium”admits Yoan Boscus, the coach of the OCF.
The Bordeaux group
If the well-known and former professionals Paul Baysse and Rio Mavuba had come to lend a hand at the start of the season, in order to avoid a second package which would have doomed the reserves, coach Boscus expects to meet a totally different group on Sunday November 3. “They were in a hurry at the start after their withdrawal on the first day. There was a big mobilization. Since then, their team has had nothing to do with it. Mavuba and Baysse will no longer be there. moreover, this formation has nothing to do with the typical reserves which play a lot of young U19s”warns the Aveyron coach.
The ranking
The Girondins have still not won this season. After a first withdrawal followed by two defeats, the Bordeaux understudies remain with two drawn results. The package having penalized them with a 0-3 defeat and the withdrawal of a point, they are therefore in last place with only one small unit on the clock. That's four fewer than Captain Hugo Bobek's men. So be careful not to relaunch them this Sunday. “The championship was distorted due to their withdrawal against Stade Bordelais and the following three, four days. Their ranking does not reflect their current value. It is now a real National 3 team. We would have liked to meet them sooner , but we shouldn't meet them later either.”
The move
Customary to leave on the eve of matches when travel is far away, the OCF players will not deviate from the rule, joining the Bordeaux region this evening. A routine that has often worked for them in the past.
The context
What should Castonétois expect in Bordeaux? It's no secret that the context of this trip can prove complicated at a time when the two main groups of Bordeaux supporters, the Ultramarines and the North Gate, are in conflict. A situation which also forced the authorities to establish a closed session during the last three rounds of the Coupe de France outside the flag team.
“The supporters follow the first team in National 2, I find it hard to imagine that there will be a big crowd on Sunday afternoon”however, Yoan Boscus projects, before this match against a team already in their group last season. But the context surrounding the first team, demoted from Ligue 2 to N2 this summer, has turned the club upside down at every level!
