Football: the Rafettes to give yourself a nice gift
Rodez (D2) receives Chassieu-Décines (R1) Sunday, December 12 in the afternoon (2 p.m.) on the synthetic Druelle for the account of the 2nd federal round of the Women’s French Cup.
One more last little effort for Laurie Cance and her teammates before enjoying a well-deserved Christmas vacation. It is clear that the Raf girls are spared by the Lady’s draw cut since their entry into the competition. After having crushed at home the Haut-Savoyards of FC Chéran (8-1), it is still residents of regional level who will come to visit the Ruthenians … in Druelle, the match having been relocated.
The Lyonnaises de Chassieu-Décines evolved in the same pool as the last victim of the Aveyronnaises. With the difference that they are in second place in the standings. The coach sang and gold thus expects a completely different opposition than that of the previous round. “We have obtained some information. They seem much superior to FC Chéran. With only two games lost, Chassieu has players who have evolved to the next level. We owe it to ourselves to be vigilant and to end the year on a high note. “For the occasion, Rufié should not or very little turn his group. Leader of the D2 championship after the first leg, the Ruthenian machine is in working order. Can going far in this cup become a goal for the goal scorer Lamontagne?This season, the team has only twenty days of the championship to play (hen of 11) so the Cup allows us to play. The group will be the same as in the last meetings. We are complete. I might make some adjustments in the starting XI, but no more “, admits the one who had left the executives at rest against FC Chéran. For the moment, the Rafettes’ record is almost perfect with 23 points taken out of 30 possible in the league.”We are going a little into the unknown after a blank season. The points lost against Yzeure are annoying, Thonon was playing well. After the Yzeuriennes are in the race. For the moment, it is positive“, notes Rufié.
It remains to stamp the ticket for the Round of 16 of the Cup which will take place on the weekend of January 8 and 9. And who will see the entry into the running of the formations of D1. A nice Christmas present to put under the tree along with the leader’s place in the championship.
