A week after suffering their second defeat in the league, in Montpellier against the MHSC reserve (2-0), the Castonétois (4th) welcome the leader Béziers this Sunday (3 p.m.) to La Roque on behalf of the 10th day of National 3. Without pressure but with ambition.
The ogre of the hen arrives in La Roque with its myriad of federal contracts and its stated ambitions of immediate ascent to the higher level. On paper, it could be scary and the results since the start of the season confirm the trend. The Biterrois leader leaves nothing or almost nothing to his opponents. With eight wins and a draw so far, the Biterrois overthrow everything in their path. Moreover, their goalkeeper Marc Vidal, who was still defending the colors of Raf just six months ago, was only looked for the ball in the back of his net once!
Returns and absences
“Béziers is the big chicken. We approach this meeting without pressure, we must not be complex against this kind of team. It’s superior, we know it and we’re not here to compare ourselves. On the other hand, over 90 minutes, we will have to be able to compete “, analyzes the Aveyronnais coach Yoan Boscus. Far from admitting defeat, the locals will come forward with arguments to come and thwart the plans of the Héraultais and, why not, bring them down for the first time this season. good news, the returns from suspensions of Durand and Soulatges as well as the injured, Daurenjou and Schaab. On the contrarythe Ruthenian commuters will have to do without Fofana and Ahammout (injured) as well as Lacroix (suspended).
remember the past
Authors of a good start to the championship, Boscus and his men (4th) should not forget that they had been able to bring down their opponent of the day two years ago in the Coupe de France when the latter were leaders of N2 and trained by a certain Didier Santini, the new coach of Raf in Ligue 2.
Place on Sunday to relieve the lawn in La Roque
“ They are very solid. There are players with big CVs like Mostefa or Vidal. One draw, one goal conceded. This meeting will strongly resemble that against Grasse (0-1 defeat for Onet in the 8th round of the Coupe de France 15 days ago) in different circumstances“, adds the tactician from Castone. This will also be the opportunity to experience a first for President Luban and his men: they will now officiate on Sundays at home throughout the winter in order to spare the lawn and certainly attract an audience. more numerous to push them to sublimate themselves. Captain Bobek and his gang have been accustomed to many fine performances lately. So why not one more? Chiche.
