A few days after announcing his early retirement, Jimmy Cabot was a guest on the show RMC Market. The opportunity for him to discuss the news from RC Lens and the very probable departure of Brice Samba for Rennes.
Brice Samba, more than just a goalkeeper
If the news is not yet official, Brice Samba should leave RC Lens to join Rennes and find Fofana School in the coming days. A departure which amounts to a heavy loss according to Jimmy Cabot: “ He’s a very good goalkeeper. He is capable of making impressive big saves. He’s a bit of a cat, he’s very strong on his line. He takes a lot of risks in the kicking game. It’s Jesus every other game. »
However, Jimmy Cabot is not worried about his old club, which he considers sufficiently structured to get back on its feet. “ It’s certain that as a Lensois, for the supporters, it hurts. He’s your captain, he has a big aura and a big charisma, so it hurts. There is good sporting logic and good strategy in Lens. We will have to continue with other good players and create a big group. »
In all likelihood, the Lensois leaders will set their sights on Jean Butez, renowned for being one of the best goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League for several seasons. At 29 years old, the former resident of the LOSC training center will therefore have the heavy responsibility of succeeding Brice Samba, a goalkeeper who will have left his mark on the minds of supporters and his partners.
