Football: Saturday against Bastia, Nîmes Olympique wants to end an uneven season at the top of the table

This Saturday at 7 p.m. in Costières, Nîmes Olympique (9th) receives Bastia (15th) for the 38th and last day of Ligue 2. Without Sainte-Luce, Ferhat, Valerio, Doucouré or Philibert, in re-athletics and therefore not ready. Then, for a large majority of the workforce, it will be the starting song…

The end of a cycle, the song of departure, the call of the sea… call it what you want, but this Nîmes-Bastia, the last day of the 2021-2022 Ligue 2 championship, will be the last for many Crocodiles . Between the end of the contract (Briançon, Ferhat, Sainte-Luce, Martinez, Paquiez, Valerio), loans with option to buy (Bratveit, Ponceau), those who want to look elsewhere (Benrahou, Fomba, Koné, etc.) and those who have not convinced and have not been able to establish themselves as holders with Nicolas Usaï (Burner, Ueda), the equation for next season is full of unknowns.

NO can finish between 7th and 12th

That of this season is not yet completely resolved: NO, 9th, can finish between 7th and 12th place according to the results of this Saturday (multiplex at 7 p.m.). “Finishing in the first part of the classification is very important. By winning, we would have taken 29 points on the second leg, the results would be more favorable. The five months since my arrival have been intense. I am very satisfied with the current involvement of the group. One would have thought that there would be relaxation and 4 or 5 withdrawals to finish, but no.”

The group : Dias, Nazih (or Bratveit, left), Burner, Paquiez, Martinez, Briançon, Mbow, Guessoum, Ueda, Sadzoute, Sarr, Delpech, Ponceau, Eliasson, Benrahou, Fomba, Omarsson, Koné.

Nazih and Delpech pre-summoned to the France U21 team for the Toulon tournament

It’s a habit for one, a surprise for the other: the Crocos Amjhad Nazih (20 years old) and Léon Delpech (19 years old) received a preconvocation with the Blueberries for the next Toulon tournament (May 29-12 June), reserved for U21 selections. If the goalkeeper, who has contacts in Ligue 1, is regularly called up to the French youth team, it is a first for the midfielder, 10 starts and 1018 minutes this season in L2. “It’s a great reward. I had never been called up to the France team, except once for an U14-U15 rally. We will know on Thursday May 19 for the final list. It’s good, I have nothing particularly planned for the holidays in May-June”, commented with a smile Delpech, who only has an amateur license. So far, the croco club’s management has failed to get him to sign a first professional contract…
