The Ruthenians won in Amiens (1-0) on Saturday 11 September, during the 7th day of the championship. The good start of the RAF, 8th in the standings, is in particular due to the positive influence of certain summer recruits and their good integration, with great blows of card games and bowling sessions.
They had noses, Pierre-Olivier Murat and Grégory Ursule. Respectively president and sporting director of Rodez Aveyron Football, the two men achieved without making noise, a particularly intelligent transfer window; far from being a stranger to the Aveyron club’s good start to the season. As proof, four of the nine Raf recruits in this offseason have already won their place in the starting eleven aligned by Laurent Peyrelade.
Lucas Buades, Clément Deprès, Adilson Malanda (all three arrived from Nîmes) as well as Bradley Danger (Chambly) all have six starts in the first seven Ligue 2 games. And all have already been decisive, starting with the last one. named, scorer on Saturday in Amiens and in all the good shots on the lawn of the Unicorn (victory of Rodez 1-0).
Arrived free this summer, Bradley Danger immediately acclimated to the unique atmosphere that reigns within the Aveyron club. “He’s a player who looks like us. He is going well in the spirit of the club and the group ”, commented about him, the coach Laurent Peyrelade in the press room of the Amiens stadium.
Bowling evenings, strickes for victories?
Adaptation, the key to success in the Peyrelade workforce. In any case, this is what happened to his friends. Lucas Buades (4 goals) and Clément Deprès (2 goals) were also decisive and particularly integrated into the Ruthenian group upon their arrival. Card games, bowling or pétanque evenings … Certain ingredients explaining the success of Raf are to be found far from football fields.
Even more astonishing, the emergence of the fourth thief: Adilson Malanda. Like Buades, he arrived from the Nîmes reserve team on tiptoe. And like Lucas Buades, he did not start in the first meeting before being aligned from the start for all the matches that followed. Since then the Raf has not lost any more. Taking advantage of the successive injuries of the indecisive ones of last season, Pierre Bardy and Julien Célestine, the young defender of 19 years has not left the eleven “blood and gold”.
On Saturday again, in Amiens, the experienced Julien Célestine was on the bench for the benefit of the former crocodile. Author of a new convincing performance – what intervention in the feet of an Amiens, Saturday while the Raf was under pressure – Malanda should not leave the eleven Ruthenian next week against Ajaccio.
But nothing is ever acquired in the system set up by Laurent Peyrelade, and the coach never balks on the trunover to prick the ego of his players. The new four seem to have understood this.
