Hagondange in the blur
Damien Mehnen calls “Guy Roux” for the goals of Hagondange this year. “Steve Alexandre, our trainer, is doing an excellent job with the group and we will try to maintain ourselves for our second consecutive season in Prenational”, specifies the president, who closely monitors the evolution of health protocols while fearing, like all the world, a season disrupted by Covid-19. We are talking knowingly here, since the coach was tested positive (asymptomatic) last week … “As a precaution, we stopped training immediately and we tested all the seniors and U20”, continues Damien Mehnen. “All the tests were negative. “
These events add to a truncated preparation for a club which had to resume outdoors, pending an accessible room since September only. Between the reservations about the virus, the lack of training and the risk of injury, the context is not the most favorable to hope for a result in Haut-du-Lièvre this Saturday. If the match is played… Hagondange asked for an exemption.

Thionville demands time
Second last season, before the end of the championship, Thionville will still target “the first part of the table” but with different means and a possible delay in ignition. “We resume without being quite ready, especially since we will have to tinker because we were injured”, explains Jonathan Varani, before the reception of Vandeuvre, a big piece, this Sunday at 3 pm.
The coach has indeed seen his back line lose hair with the stop of the leader Clément Brisson, the fracture of the elbow of the designated substitute (Kévin Tingapermal) and the injury of a winger (Hugo Renard) in preparation … “But we have a large pool of players, “continues the coach,” and we will aim for victory every time. Although I think our game will be more interesting in January. ”

Youth card in Longwy
With a first team engaged in N3, the Longwy / Rehon reserve will continue its training work. “The squad will be very young with an average age of 21-22 years”, explains coach Karim Chennouf. “We do not refrain from injecting older elements to lend a hand with experience, but we first want to improve our players so that they apply for N3 one day. Before that, we would like to recreate a group and a state of mind to seek a fairly serene bearing. “
The team will launch its season this Sunday at home, against Mirecourt (3:30 p.m.), on the ground of another reserve.
