the essential Double licensed, with the hopes of Castres Olympique and with the senior team of RO Castelnaudary, Gaël Escribe, who is also a talented Seven player, spoke following the defeat of his team 14 to 27 once morest St -Sulpice.
Identifying Pierre Pineda as Leucate’s man of the match once morest Villefranche-de-Lauragais (30-24), 38 years old, including 11 seasons spent wearing the Sporting Club de Leucate jersey, may seem superfluous as the player and captain of the The maritime team is huge at every meeting.
Certainly, don’t count on him to sprint 100 meters, although his races, sometimes, all power and in the axis of course, have put some on the buttocks. Don’t count on him to bring honors back to his name either, although he will undoubtedly give some sleepless nights to his future adversaries who are preparing to challenge him.
Pierre represents quiet strength and malice in his face-to-face melee with the opposing pillar. “I won’t tell you what my tricks are before entering the scrum but sometimes you have to have a little cunning, including with the referee. The scrum is purely mental and in each of them, he we have to question ourselves individually and collectively. It’s a man-to-man fight,” laughs Pierre at the end of the match once morest Villefranche-de-Lauragais.
Pierre Pineda, gone to stay?
Coming out in the 73rd minute, with a slow and confident step, he doesn’t even look at his opponents. The Maritimes dominated in the scrum and marched three times on the opposing pack in devastating penetrating groupings, two of which logically led to a penalty try and two yellow cards for the Lauragais men. “Today we played the match we needed. At Prades, we weren’t too bad but today, we were up once morest the wall following this spiral of three successive defeats. That’s when we are at the with your back to the wall that you see who you are. We worked hard and it worked,” confides the Aude pillar.
With 11 match sheets, including 10 as captain and starter and another on the bench in… 11 matches over this first half of the season, needless to say that Pierre Pineda is one of the captains of the maritime box. A basic man, a leader who does not hesitate to bring his men together during stoppages in play. History of setting the clocks back and boosting energy. It works by the way! “At 38, I feel a little lucky to be able to play so much and the team is still on track to qualify.”
So, of course, the objective of the club is to ensure its maintenance “in order to then be able to have fun. We are a great group who live in a superb atmosphere. We must continue because the group is very tight. “There’s nothing for granted,” Pierre Pineda readily agrees. Who, however, looks with envy at the final stages but the Audois are not there yet.
Like him who wonders if he will wear the Leucate jersey once more next year. However, you don’t have to insist for long to hear, “if everything goes well, yes”, concludes the person who works in contact with nature on a daily basis and who thus benefits from a perfect healthy lifestyle. The secret of eternity but still don’t count on Pierre to give it to you. Especially if you are a referee.
