After having nicely returned to victory, just before going on Christmas vacation, against Bourges Moulon (2-0) when it had not won for almost three months, the Castelroussine reserve relapsed last weekend in Vineuil (1-0 defeat). However, with some mitigating circumstances, in the form of a goal offered to the opponent and three strikes which were repelled by the uprights. “There are matches where we got through it, but not this one, still assures five days later, Armindo Ferreira. Frankly, there was nothing to reproach the players, apart from this youthful mistake on the penalty which we conceded. »
Only six possible transfers on the match sheet
Gifts and bad luck must disappear as quickly as possible or risk putting yourself in danger in the rankings. “We are reaching the last of the first legs. We can consider that the learning process is about to be completed and that we must get up to speed otherwise we will suffer until the end of the season.” also says the coach who fears this trip to Vienna, despite the friendly victory during the summer preparation (1-2). “This is a team with very experienced players and a coach (Wilfried Niflore). Furthermore, I know their terrain; At this time of the season, it is not ideal for playing our game. What state will he be in this weekend? It’s an uncertainty. »
Another uncertainty, even greater, but recurring: which group will Armindo Ferreira be able to have at his disposal? Knowing that, although the club was reinforced by new players during the transfer window (with the status of amateurs, following the ban on recruitment), all those who are not called up to the National, will not necessarily be at the disposition of the reserve. “There is a regulation which says that we can only put six transferred players on the match sheet. (including two outside the period, i.e. after July 15). For players outside the period, I already have Loan Husson, Grégory Kelo and Kalvin Luong. I’m not complaining; It’s just an observation…”
-Incorporate young people
While only a dozen outfield players participate in training sessions during the week, the group plays on a tightrope and must regularly incorporate young U18s, such as Amine Badirou and Mounir Seguer in Vineuil, and count on the return of the injured Jad Koembo and Mohamedi Komail Pikulas, in order to achieve a hold which will be complicated, but which is still largely playable.
