78 minutes. It is the (short) time that Jores Rahou and his N.26 were able to spend on the field this season. It was during the first day, the striker, freshly landed on loan from Paris FC, remained on excellent preparation with encouraging performance. It was the time for promises, the desire to bite into the ball and to store as much experience as possible with the Istrean promoted.
But he experienced what footballers fear. Rupture of the crossed ligaments from the first day on the synthetic field of Jura Sud (2-0), promises of long months outside the fields, operation and rehabilitation. A first big tile in his career for this 22-year-old center center. “”It was a complicated moment even if the group and the players have always supported me. I feel good, it’s been a month that I have resumed training with the group. I should apply for a place in the group. I’ve been injured for eight months. It was not easy, it was long. But with work, I was able to come back in shape.“
“Help the team as much as possible”
All this is now behind him. The attacker, passed through the young selections in France and the Algerian U20s, may be able to grab a few minutes by the end of the season and be one of the actors of the Istrean maintenance. “”I hope to be able to help the team as much as possible this weekend and that we are going to bring the three points back to maintain ourselves.”
-Coach Noubir will obviously have the last word to shape his group most likely to compete with Rumilly, a meeting, during the first leg, which had marked the 1st victory outside the Provençaux of the season. Today, the weather is more gloomy with four row sets including the last in Andrézieux (3-1).
Noubir: “He comes back with good sensations”
“What is frustrating is that the content is very good. But playing well is not a guarantee of success or taking points. Now we will be much more pragmatic and more determined on our mission“says the Istrean coach delighted to be able to count on an extra player in the last three days.”He is a boy kneaded with talent and quality. I knew him younger at OM. He has a great state of mind, he is a professional. We are happy to have it with us. He comes back well with good sensations“, Appreciates Zaki Noubir.
ISTRES – Rumilly, at 7 p.m., Parsemain stadium.
