After five months of cutoff due to the Covid-19 crisis, football is resuming its rights on all lawns in France. The National opens this Friday evening with in particular Créteil and his new striker Kevin Farade (ex-Bobigny) who receive the Corsicans of Bastia Borgo. The Red Star will close this first day on Monday evening (8:45 p.m.) at the Bauer stadium against the other Bastia club, Sporting.
Wave of departures at Red Star ...
Like Saint-Ouen who elected a new PS mayor, Karim Bouamrane "mad lover of the Red Star", the city club has also entered the era of change this summer. The candidate for the rise in Ligue 2, the ambition displayed by President Patrice Haddad, with Le Mans, Orléans or Boulogne, has lost or let go 14 players. Including his nuggets Mehdi Chahiri (Strasbourg, L1) and Saïd Arab (Paris FC, L2) or captain Formose Mendy (Boulogne-sur-Mer, Nat.).
... who recruited very Ile-de-France
Beyond the loan of promising defender Sainte-Luce (Nîmes, L1) in particular, half of the recruits (Akassou, Bazolo, Doremus, Adiceam, Durand) come from N2 and N3 clubs in the Paris region. "We took top N2 players," explains coach Vincent Bordot. It is perhaps not in the habits of the Red Star to recruit so much in the Paris region but it is not a default or financial choice because of the Covid. "Defender Daillet (Boulogne-sur-Mer), midfielders Ndoye (Gazélec Ajaccio) and Pollet (Quevilly RM) and striker Bizet (Dunkirk) will bring their National experience.
The common sense of Bauer's kop
The kop at the Bauer stadium will be quieter on Monday, as the Red Star Fans (the main group of supporters) announced "to suspend its activities and the animation of the Rino Negra stand (that of the kop) until further notice (. ..). The virus is still circulating, it is the responsibility of all of us to contain the pandemic. »Common sense in a complex health context. At the beginning of July, the president of the office of the Red Star Bauer collective, Vincent Chutet-Mézence, was present during the official presentation and testified to the kop's unwavering support for the team: "You are our soldiers, we believe in you".
