The growing maturity of Rodez’s midfield, sometimes served by his volcanic temperament, allowed him to discover the role of captain this season.
Che role gives you more duties than rights. The armband is not a consecration, but a responsibility. And it is less heavy when you share it.“In an interview with Press Center At the beginning of July, Ruthenian coach Laurent Peyrelade sent the message to defender Pierre Bardy that he would no longer be Rodez’s number one captain. The holder of the armband had to “change every game“, then finally”after each defeat“to turn between the last city,”Rémy (Boissier), Ugo (Bonnet) and Amiran (Sanaia) “. But only two of them were entitled to the end of the fabric: after the trip to Caen (4-0) in opening, where Pierre Bardy was captain, Rémy Boissier was dispossessed three times, always at the benefit of the 29-year-old defender.First in Auxerre (1-0), on September 21, since Rodez had lost three days earlier against AC Ajaccio (0-2), during the reception of Grenoble (1- 1), on the 24th, because he was not titular, then in front of Sochaux (0-1), on October 16, after being beaten in Guingamp (2-1), on the 2.
So why has the blood and gold coach decided to hand over so much responsibility in the middle of Spring 27 this season? He never wanted to answer this question. So others took care of it. “JI’m not surprised that Rémy wears the armband so often because he has a leadership temperament “, emphasizes Alexis Chambéry, former coach of the U17s and teammate of the native of Millau “in the team III of Rodez, in Promotion d’Honneur, about ten years ago“. “He was not a captain, but spoke to the group a lot, guided the others … whether under 17 or in reserve.“Speaking even a little too much for Nicolas Trottier, the former Raf educator who signed him to the club at the age of sixteen from Castelsarrasin (Tarn-et-Garonne):”He did not always speak wisely. He was more the madman who had to be channeled than the leader capable of setting the pace for others. I remember a young man taking a lot of boxes.“
“For 18 months, he has been exemplary in the middle”
Then the kid from Montauban matured, especially in recent years. “The fact of leaving, already, his passage at Le Mans (2018-2020), then, before becoming a father … All of this really enabled him to take a step forward in terms of maturity.“The one that Rémy Boissier crossed on the ground also explains his growing importance in the pro ruthen group.”For 18 months, he has been exemplary in the middle, recalls Nicolas Trottier. He is a player who has enriched his palette, made assists, scored …“An analysis shared by Aurélien Tertereau, his partner in the midfield until the end of last season:”Remy has always spoken in the locker room, he has repartee. But above all, I think that the coach wanted to reward him for his big 2020-2021 season (seven goals, two assists).“
“It is also because he needs to be in an environment where he is trusted., says Nicolas Trottier. Just like the need to have his relatives with him: his father follows him a lot, his wife has found a job in Rodez … It also helps him to give his full potential on the ground.“His former coach, when he was playing in reserve, concludes:”Pierre (Bardy) and he knew the complicated years as a youngster, when we ate a plate of pasta in the back of the truck before returning from a trip. They do not think they are others and it is important to pass it on to the recruits, who grew up in cotton coming from a training center. With Joris (Chougrani) and Ugo (Bonnet), they will surely be the last to embody the real DNA of the club.“
Rémy Boissier could not answer questions from Center Presse since the Raf refused, yesterday, our request for an interview with the player.
