The first training session of the week, two days after the league defeat at the leader, Red Star (0-2) and four days before the 8th round of the Coupe de France at Saint-Etienne (L2), was concluded by a VMA test. The Vameval determines the maximum aerobic speed. It will allow physical maintenance to be individualized during the next winter break and for the second part of the season.
For the now relegated Crocs in National, two more weeks of training before two weeks of vacation. A Coupe de France match at Saint-Etienne (L2) this Saturday, December 9 at 3 p.m., a championship match against Goal (Ouest Lyon) at Antonins on Friday 15 at 7:30 p.m. “I’m preparing Goal, I’m not preparing Saint -Etienne”, immediately insisted Nîmes coach Frédéric Bompard, who has a sense of priorities, Tuesday at the Bastide. Without for the moment Delpech (swollen foot following a sole on Saturday in Saint-Ouen), Sacko (ill), goalkeeper Dias (knee) nor Burner (calf) and Mbemba (healed ankle) who trotted apart.
Goalkeeper training filmed by drone by video analyst
The three goalkeepers Paradowski, Nazih and the latest recruit Ondoa trained on their own with the referent Anthony Babikian. All filmed by drone by Arthur Petit, the video analyst who completed his training this summer. “For two months, I’ve been trying to film as much as possible. I fly the drone at a height of 15 meters for tactical sessions. For the goalkeepers, it’s lower, a bird’s-eye view is better” For dives, between others, but not only…
Sbaï, Labonne, Wade, trifecta
The day’s training concluded with a solitary effort, the VMA test, the Vameval, which determines maximum aerobic speed and VO2 max. The goal is to run as long as possible at a speed that increases in stages. The test is usually carried out at the start of the season to refine physical preparation. The one at the beginning of December, on the Nîmes side, will allow work to be individualized during the winter break and the second part of the season.
And the winner (announced before the test by coach Bompard) is… Hamza Sbaï, a versatile 23-year-old defensive player, last to remain in the race at a speed of 21 km/h. The Nîmes Olympique record, a priori held by Renaud Ripart (23 km/h), aka the white Kenyan, still stands! He beat Ronny Labonne and Paul Wade, tied for runner-up. Picouleau, Laurens, Mexico and Diallo were not far from the podium. Delpech and Sacko could have claimed it, but they were unavailable.
After the physical, it’s time for technique and reduced games in the afternoon. To prepare for the 8th round of the Coupe de France in the Cauldron… and especially the reception of Goal (West Lyon) so as not to spend Christmas in a relegation position.
