He was omnipresent in the semi-finals against Sainte-Foy and CS Nontron will still count on him in the final, Saturday May 3. The third line Martin Mussini, born in Argentina, first practiced football before following his brother at the club of San Martin de Cordoba, at 13 years old. “It was a very good discovery for me. »»
However, she almost was brief. “I played with Eduardo Bello [NDLR : 27 sélections avec les Pumas depuis]. On my first match, he broke the arm of an opponent. I told myself that it was a dangerous sport, I hesitated to stop. Finally I continued. Fortunately for red and blue.
It was not until 2017, at 21, that he puts his suitcases in Nontron. “It was done through the Benciventa brothers and their father. In Argentina, the family lived 200 meters from my home. The one who is then three-quarter center acclimatizes quickly in Green Périgord. “I found in this club the family side that I had known in Argentina. »»
-“An X factor”
The CSN was then only its second club. “In my country, this is not to change. We remain faithful. If we leave, it’s to go up level. “After five seasons in Nontron, Mussini joined Le Havre, with whom he climbed from Federal 2 to Federal 1.” I wanted to see a little above, “he justifies. It is a club with whom I have progressed well, especially alongside Jérôme Dunay [actuel manager de Rouen]. But I had some injuries and I decided to return to Nontron. »»
Back at the start of the season, the Argentinian has established himself as a CSN manager. “I know it’s cliché but we are really a very good bunch of friends. Those who helped me for my move to Le Havre are the same people who welcomed me when I came back. “It is an X factor for our team. He knew how to put his experience at the service of the group. He returned as if he had never gone, ”says his coach Sylvain Charbonnet.
Here it is ready for the final that it will be necessary to approach “the cold head and the warm heart”. Mussini knows that we should not change things now but that the defense will have to be better than during the semi-final won against Sainte-Foy-la-Grande (62-42). “It’s a good reminder but we will remain positive. We are not going to panic, this is the first time it happens to us in the season. We are well aware that if we have a quarter of an hour of absence as in the semi-finals, it will not go, “concludes the Argentinian.
The match
After a more than successful season with only two defeats, a rise in Federal 3 and a departmental shield, Nontron is eighty minutes from a regional title. Will the CSN be the first Périgord club to get one? The case will not be easy against Arudy, champion of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. If the Nontronne attack has given fully satisfaction until then, the defensive investment during the semi-final has not been up to the task (62-42). The cutlers will have to correct the shot to hope to do the double. “Our success will go through the management of weak moments. We have to be able to tighten more when we are in difficulty if we want to win, ”explains Sylvain Charbonnet, the red and blue coach.
Arudy finished first in hen 5 with 14 wins, a draw and three defeats, then beat Pouillon/Labatut, Mimizan and Saint-Sever in the final stages, as well as Lembeye in the land of terroir. The club of former international referee Jérôme Garcès has in its ranks experienced players such as Thomas Sanchou passed by Albi, Castres and Brive or Adrien Latorre who was still playing in Pro D2 two years ago with Béziers.
