Stade de Reims will challenge En Avant Guingamp in Côtes-d'Armor, this Saturday, November 23, on behalf of the 9e day of the Women's Premier League. A necessarily special meeting for Mathieu Rufié. Arriving on the bench of the Rouge et Blanche during the off-season, the coach played on the Guingamp bench during the 2023-2024 financial year.
“It’s special. I certainly only spent one season there but for example, I have never played against Rodez again since I left. So this is my first time playing my old club, explains the Marne coach.It has a special flavor because I know people there, even if there have been a lot of changes. It's both a nice feeling to go back there, but also special. »
“That’s where it all started”
For Anaële Le Moguédec, this duel is also an opportunity to open the memory box. The 22-year-old native of Vannes (Morbihan) was in fact trained in Guingamp, before leaving for Nantes then Reims, where she arrived in the summer of 2023.“Over time, I think it’s a little less strong than before. I trained there but I didn't play for the first team. Even if it's far away, it's always nice to meet the locals and the people we know. »
