Football: when it comes to taking stock, the RCOA is in “can do better” mode

RCOA is currently in fifth position in the rankings. rcoa

If we draw a little comparison, we can say that the last home match against Euga Ardziv's Marseillais illustrates the RCOA's record at the break. After leading comfortably 3-0, the Agathois eleven were caught up 4-4 before winning on the wire, following a penalty. Phew, a psychodrama was avoided! But the N3 team is showing signs of fragility. Sometimes of tactical imbalance. Is there too much comfort for some players, too much demand ? This is the subject of internal discussions.

Despite everything, this victory places them in an honorable fifth place (out of fourteen), with 15 points. But far from the first (Rousset with 27 points) and not so far from the first relegation place. Knowing that there will be four, even five relegations at the end of the season.

So, a mixed record, like their statistics for results in the championship: five wins, zero draws and six defeats. “The team wants to impact the match, indicates the sporting director, Pascal Dagany. It's make or break.”

In this record, we must not forget the meritorious run in the Coupe de France. Running after two hares at once, you run out of steam. RCOA has reached the gates of the final phase (32nd). Eliminated by a certain Le Puy Foot 43, recent conqueror of MHSC.

Movements after the break

On the technical staff side, we are aware of the delay in the ranking.

Coach Jean-Bernard Reboul wants “catch up on points”. He specifies: “The first half is not over, there are two matches missing. Two affordable matches with the objective of taking at least four points.” On his personal situation, the technician specifies that he is “optimistic and still enthusiastic to participate in such a great project. The first team is part of a general dynamic that is progressing well, that is progressing quickly. All our teams are making progress. The training is moving upmarket. I completely support Racing's development model”. On the question of possible reinforcements, Jean-Bernard Reboul responds that there will be movements after the break. Perhaps departures and other players who will come to support the efforts of the residents of the Sanguin stadium. Just like Dramé and Foleu-Tené, the two latest arrivals.

Let's hope that the Agde leaders' pick is a lucky one. After all, there's no reason why it shouldn't be.
