US Concarneau: “He has almost become an executive of the team”, Amadou Seydi has earned his status

National (13th day). US Boulogne – US Concarneau, this Friday (7:30 p.m.)

1065 minutes of playing time out of 1080 possible in twelve National championship matches. Who says better at US Concarneau? Person. Not even Thibault Sinquin (exited in the 72nd minute against ), whom Amadou Seydi beats by three minutes in the overall playing time ranking. “That's a good stat,” he laughs.

“Almost a member of the team”

In fact, the left central defender of Thoniers only missed the last quarter of an hour of the match in (3-0 defeat) where he was replaced by Justin Bourgault, immediately after Nancy's third goal (75'). “It was a choice by the coach.” A very unusual choice because Stéphane Rossi considers it to be Guillaume Jannez's twin tower as a central hinge: “I'm going to tell you a secret. Amadou came to see me telling me that it was thanks to me that he had the right to interviews in the newspaper. But no, said the coach. I don't give gifts. He was the one who did the right thing. It is thanks to his work and his involvement that Amadou almost became a member of the team. He is the one who earned this status. We feel that he has the desire to prove more things. But he must not rest on his laurels, on the contrary, he must continue to work as he is doing.”

Seydi only skipped the first two Coupe de matches, at Plaintel (0-4) and Baud (0-2), before returning to the 90 minutes at (0-2). “When I didn’t play in the Cup, it was also a choice of the coach,” specifies the player

“Yes, I’m thinking of Ligue 2”

The former defender of FC Sète (N1) and 13 (N1 and N2) is not complaining. His remark just means that he was neither injured nor suspended. He, the former “Mister Clean” of the team, had not received any warnings during the first eleven matches of the season. But that was before… “I have just won two in a row (against Dijon and Saumur) and the next one, I will be suspended. But I don't defend based on that. I don't think and I go all out. »

In an axial defense, with two or three heads, he, the right-hander, defends on the left. “Last year, in Paris, in a three-man defense, I was already playing on the left, so that suits me well.” So much so that at 27 years old as of last week, Amadou Seydi is planning, like some of his Concarne predecessors in this position (Ouaneh, Gomis and Sylla), towards Ligue 2. “Yes, I'm thinking about it, it's normal when you are a competitor. But you have to do the work. » And for that, you also have to score. “But yes, I have to open my meter. I'm looking forward to this first goal, it will happen. » In Boulogne? ” I hope. »
