The winter break which took place after the 14th day and a trip to Andrézieux on December 20 (0-0) was taken advantage of in several ways by Bergerac Périgord FC. With rest first of all, immediately after this match. With work too, since the resumption on January 2. And behind the scenes too, since Yassine Azahaf’s squad has grown at the start of the year when the transfer window is in full swing.
While the list of injured players has been greatly reduced, Bergerac Périgord FC saw the arrival of a player in midfield: Adama Niakhaté. The latter played seven matches in the colors of Chantilly, 11th in Pool C of National 2, during the first part of the season. “It’s a small size, a dynamic environment, recovery and relay,” describes the Bergerac technician.
One per line?
It is possible that this arrival is not the only one that the Périgord club records during this transfer window. Negotiations are advanced with a goalkeeper, who could sign as early as next week, and other reflections are being carried out around two positions: a center forward and a defender. “The ideal would be to have one reinforcement per line,” says Yassine Azahaf.
The number of BPFC’s flagship team has never been so quantitatively significant. The group which works all week for the N2 already consisted of 23 outfield players and three goalkeepers since the arrivals of Valentin Liénard and Djakaridja Soro in mid-October. It will be necessary to add one to four recruits. With only one objective: to seek maintenance, the BPFC being for the moment relegated.
Upset calendar
The meeting scheduled for Saturday January 11 against Rumilly/Vallières has been postponed, a municipal decree prohibiting access to the Bergerac football fields (Campréal, la Catte, le Pont-Roux, le Stella). This last minute postponement did not impact the week of the Bergeracois, who worked in anticipation of this match until Friday 10. The match could take place on Saturday February 1, the first free weekend on the calendar.
