Avranches faces tonight the agreement Sannois Saint-Gratien from 20h. Interview with Reda Rabeï. Loaned by Amiens, the Nordist will play big during his freelance run. An extension in the pros is the key.
This is not a coincidence. Neither a choice on a whim. Reda Rabei landed at US Avranches last week, following the wounds of Kleyveens Hérelle (fractured malleolus) and Julien Farnabe (cruciate ligament rupture), out until the end of the season.
But the track of the Amiénois emerged on the side of the Vendée a long time ago, when Frédéric Reculeau, then coach of the Herbarium, had already spotted the young man. "I took steps at the time, but it was not at the end, says the coach of the USA. Even if it is not a guarantee of success, it was a desire to work together. "
Between loans and injuries
Alert on the different offensive opportunities to strengthen the ranks, Gilbert Guérin's club jumped at the chance. That of relaunch a technical player of 23 years of twenty selections under the blue jersey in futsal. "I was a little fed up with futsal. I was able to join Wasquehal in CFA in 2016 for six months before having a proposal from Amiens quite quickly, " rewrite Reda Rabeï.
Loaned in the wake of Lyon Duchère (National) and Juventus Bucharest (Romanian D1), last season, the versatile striker took a while to acclimatize. The fault, as a bonus, to injuries taken in one shot. "When I arrived in Amiens, in Ligue 2, I injured myself from the summer preparation against Reims in friendly (ripped quadriceps). I fought to come back, but it was complicated because I was not used to this professional pace , " explains the child of Roubaix.
A transition not obvious, synonymous with maturity despite everything. "When I was told that it was futsal, I asked myself because there is a lot of prejudice on this, admits Fred Reculeau. But when we observe the boy, we can see that he has taken into account the codes of the off-court grounds. It's up to him now to do the job to find his account here. The message and the current are passed between the technician and his new offensive weapon. Especially since the information was collected at source.
As a good referee on the side of Amiens SC, the assistant coach of Christophe Pélissier, Romain Poyet, was able to see his fellow Norman. Precious pipes. " Romain is a former striker (passed by Auxerre, Clermont, Dijon, Brest, Caen and Amiens) and I was looking especially to know the skills of the moment of Reda, have more details on his profile, says Reculeau. He is a player who has great technique and is very skillful in front of goal. He has not been able to chase a full season so far. I hope we will be able to get him back on his feet. "

A challenge for the striker who will have to negotiate a major shift in his young career in National. "Basically, if I make a good loan to Avranches, I should continue with Amiens. I know the club is counting on me, "he says.
Reda Rabeï is still looking a little
In the meantime, Reda Rabeï has already been able to shine as of last weekend, scorer during the qualification of the Blues for the 8th round of the Coupe de France, on the lawn of La Chapelle-des-Marais (R3, 0- 5). "It was good that he took some benchmarks," notes the coach avranchinais. "He is concerned. It is inevitably a good player if Amiens thinks to prolong it ... " , launches the president Guérin. "It did me good because I had not replayed since early October," smiles the player, unfortunately out on injury after a blow to the ankle.
A slight glitch not prohibitive for the neo-Avranchinais, anxious to maintain a noteworthy entry. " I first need to convince myself. It's been too long since I miss playing time. I have to link the matches at all costs. Training with a Ligue 1 group is good, but going back and forth in reserve, it is less, he confides, without filter . I have to get upset because I'm still looking for a little bit. I need confidence. This is the only solution to aim higher. A leitmotif in perfect harmony with the plans of the USA.
