More than 400 players braved the sweltering heat to attend training in Nice on Wednesday morning, the second fully open to the public since Frank Hayes took over.
The joyful gathering looked diligent and focused in the face of the intense live drills put forward by the staff.
New OGC Nice defender Moise Bombito received special attention. Like the form of Yusuf Ndayishimiye, who returns from a long-term calf injury. While Sofian Diop has been in and out of rehab, Egeron ended practice with a counter-attack and then added selfies and autographs.
Youngster Victor Orakpo makes his professional debut this weekend as he joins executives Dante, Bard and Bulka in discovering his growing popularity . New recruits Krause and Ndombele are also particularly popular with supporters of all ages.
Despite losing their first game against Auxerre (1-2), there were smiles on their faces and positive words on their lips. Everyone wants to believe there will be a bounce-back against Toulouse at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday, and they expressed their eagerness to see a game like this again.
“Three months is too long”we are told again. A reunion is imminent and it would obviously be better if it was a success.
The coach also participated in the autograph session.Photo OGC is good.
Exit Café des Aiglons, Cours 1904
A special year (the gym has a history of 120 years) and a special system. Therefore, this season Café des Aiglons will be replaced by Cours 1904.
On each day of the home tournament, there will be a talk show (two hours before the game and one hour in the square on the first side of Garibald) focusing on the key players who made the history of the Rossoneri club, discussing different topics.
The first topic of discussion outside Sunday’s game against Toulouse will be “The Birth of Gym”.
Alexy Bosetti, a child of the old Nice, Robert Malacarne, a grandson of Alfred Malacarne (one of the four founding members of the gymnasium) ) and Jean-Louis Santucci, grandson of Luis María (the founder of the football part of the stadium), will inaugurate the new project.
