Nimes Olympic

Goalscorer Wade. Eliminated by Grenoble in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France (1-0), Nîmes Olympique will not play an official game this weekend. So to keep up the pace, Frédéric Bompard organized an internal opposition this morning at the Costières stadium. The staff had chosen mixed teams by mixing starters and substitutes. A shortened game as the second period lasted just 20 minutes. “We have had a very tough week of training. In a week without a race we must have covered about 30 km, there we are at 40 km so it started to suck., justifies the Nîmes coach who wanted to avoid injuries. During this confrontation, only one goal was scored through Paul Wade, who was on trial this week. ” He returned to play with the Nice reserve, we take time to think about himcontinues the coach who would have liked to see more goals, it was good in the preparation with the ball, we remained structured. I also remember that we had a hard time finishing. » Doucouré, Thomasen and Labonne are the three players who did not participate in this match. The Dane has completed his rehabilitation and will rejoin the group on Monday. As for Lorient’s side, he will just be able to take on Niort and Guingamp. Better than at the Bastide, Frédéric Bompard would still like to use the lawn of Costières to train there.

The Crocos will rest this weekend and resume training on Monday to prepare for the important reception of Niort on Saturday, January 28 at 7 p.m. Note that the Crocos will receive Saint-Étienne on Monday, February 20 at 8:45 p.m. for the shock of the 24th day.
