Nimes Olympic
Lucas Dias in the spotlight. Holder during the first two days of the National (Martigues and Rouen), Lucas Dias (24) is in the process of settling in the Nîmes cages. After having known, intermittently, Ligue 1, Ligue 2, the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue, the native of Lyon may finally have the opportunity to impose himself in his position. Often disturbed by injuries, the Crocodile has, at the start of the season, the favor of Frédéric Bompard who preferred him to Amjhad Nazih. His match on Friday at the Robert-Diochon stadium reassured the coach who explained after the match: “He had a very good game. Moreover, the Nîmes technician has, so far, decided not to retain a substitute doorman on the match sheets. Just before conceding the Norman goal, Lucas Dias was the author of a magnificent save by fetching the ball under his crossbar. Even if it was not enough to clinch the victory, the beautiful reflex was chosen to appear in the “Top stops of the J2” of the FFFTV. The Nîmes goalkeeper is no longer missing his first victory and his first meeting without conceding a goal this season.

Doucoure Package. The season got off to a bad start for the Nîmes striker. A time followed, and interested, by the Concarnoise Sports Union (17th in Ligue 2), Mahamadou Doucouré was only a substitute on the first day against FC Martigues. His entry at the end of the match was not convincing since the Crocodile received a yellow card before being injured. Victim of a lesion in the biceps femoris, the Nîmes was forfeited for the trip to Rouen and he will be again on Friday against Le Mans and Avranches next week. Doucouré could resume the race from Monday and he should be handed over for the reception of Châteauroux (September 8). This unavailability falls very badly for Doucouré, since it coincides with the good form of Orphée Mbina (two goals in two games), the good return of Axel Thoumin to Rouen and the emergence of Thibo Dupont with the reserve.

Imminent take-off for Romann Laroudie. This Wednesday, August 23, in the furnace of the lair of Full Contact Cévennes in Prairie, Romann Laroudie took part in his last training session. Tomorrow, the young (17 years old) Alesian will take the plane for the very first time in order to reach Istanbul (Turkey) with the French team in order to participate in the European Full Contact Championships. French amateur champion among juniors a few months ago, the slender fulleur (1m86, -71kg) will try to perform from his very first participation. “He will not go there as a dabbler” warned his uncle Bernard Laroudie, himself a multi-medal winner in the discipline, a few weeks ago. If we are to believe the demands of his summer preparation and his basic physical abilities, Romann has every chance of shining in Turkey. If the exact schedule of his first fight is not fixed, it should take place during this weekend of August 26 and 27. It will be broadcast on the Facebook page of the Wako Federation.
