Nimes Olympic
“Look forward to coming”. Number two at left back behind Mehdi Beneddine and dissatisfied with his short playing time, Namakoro Diallo left Nîmes Olympique at the end of September to sign for Quevilly. Barely five weeks later, it's already reunion time for the 28-year-old defender who returns this Friday to the Antonins stadium with QRM as part of the 12th day of the National. “It makes me happy to see my ex-teammates again. I can't wait to come to Nîmes and play at Antonins again, it will definitely be weird to find myself an opponent on Friday.”reacts the person concerned, contacted this afternoon. The latter does not regret his departure because since his arrival he has played all four of his team's matches in the league and two in the Coupe de France. “I am satisfied with my playing time. In terms of ranking it is not necessarily very good. We are short of points but our team is progressing, we are gaining strength with many new players.”he adds. First used as a left back, he has been playing for two games as a left piston in a three-way defense and was a decisive passer last week against Orléans (1-1), “as I like to attack and defend, it’s a position that suits me. I have already played in this position with coach Bompard. » The former Nîmes man, who has kept in touch with some of his former teammates, was invaluable to his coach David Carré in preparing for this trip. “Nîmes is a tough team to beat at home, it will be a difficult match”adds the left-handed resident of a non-relegation first team and 15th in the ranking. Diallo will not hesitate to take his left lane to go for centering. Ronny Labonne has been warned. “I will also have to prepare myself for Ronny’s outbursts because I know he gets on a lot”concludes Nama ready for this confrontation.
Occitanie League
Matches canceled. A few days ago, the cars of two educators from the Colomiers Football school (Haute-Garonne) were set on fire. In solidarity with the local district and “to say stop inappropriate behavior and attacks against educators”the Occitanie Football League has decided to cancel this weekend all matches at regional level among young people: girls and boys. Senior meetings are not affected. “Today, these behaviors reach an unacceptable levelcontinues the League in a press release, this decision marks a pause to allow everyone to sit down, reflect and understand that every word or gesture counts. » The League also invites clubs to raise awareness among their licensees and their parents about respecting educators, believing that a limit has been crossed. This obviously impacts all Gard clubs whose youth teams play at regional level. A decision which comes as the election of the new president of the LFO takes place on Saturday. This will be played out between the outgoing president Arnaud Dalla Pria and Guy Glaria, vice-president of the Gers District, who counts Xavier Mouret, president of Stade Beaucairois FC, on his list.

Having passed through the Niort training center, the striker, who can play on the side, took stock of his start to the season: “I find it mixed, in the sense that there have been good things but on other points it could be better. I will continue to approach the matches one after the other, to keep my seriousness and to simply bring what I can to the team. I don’t think I’ll change the way I work!”he exclaimed. The 24-year-old footballer says he is satisfied with how training went this week. This morning at Moulinet, only Mohamed Hamek (and of course Thibault Hamel, long-term injured) was missing.
