National (30th day). Boulogne – Stade Briochin, this Saturday (8 p.m.)
On Saturday, he hid his eye with his hand, before going for a run, smiling. Soon joined and imitated by Rafiki Saïd, also hilarious. On Saturday Devon Romil scored his third goal of the season and he celebrated it as the first, scoring on matchday one. “It’s a celebration that I invented. An idea, like that, ”smiles the Guadeloupe.
A moment of pure joy that Maxime D’Ornano did not see, who preferred to stop coaching Stade Briochin. “We learned it on Saturday, at snack time. We did not expect it at all, even if it was obvious that he was not doing too well ”.
“The page of Paris SG has been difficult to turn”
Devon Romil (24) was one of his favorite players. This match against Bastia was his 23rd of the season (3 goals, 2 assists). And there would have been even more if covid-19 hadn’t caused him to miss the three days at the end of March. “I was a little disappointed to miss them, I was in a good dynamic, but the team did the job with a win and two draws. Besides, I didn’t have any symptoms and I didn’t feel any particular fatigue ”.
Holder upon his return to the Red Star (1-0), the winger said “to have passed a course” this season. Above all, he put aside his big dreams, inherited from his nine seasons spent at Paris SG, alongside Kingsley Coman, Presnel Kimpembe, Christopher Nkunku or even Félix Eboa Eboa, the Guingamp defender. “The page was difficult to turn, but this year, that’s it, it’s over! », Assures the native of Villepinte in Seine-Saint-Denis, stopped in 2015 by a rupture of the cruciate ligaments. “Since then, this is the first time that I have managed a full season”.
Maxime D’Ornano, always him, praised his ability to repeat the efforts, including defensive. “He liked my ability to run. It was he who revived me ”. When he landed in July 2018, Jorris’s cousin, attacking Dunkirk in Ligue 2, had just arrived from a short stint at US Concarneau. “Today, I enjoy my life. I have learned to be patient, even though I know I can go even higher ”.
“Third place, we talk about it between us”
Above, there is this Ligue 2 that a third place, via the dams, could offer the Briochins. “We are not going to lie to each other, we are talking about it among ourselves. There are five games left. Even if it was not in the ambitions of the beginning, we want to go to the end ”.
The Griffons, far from any pressure, do not want to “think of anything other than the upcoming game”. But the next one, precisely, is this Saturday in Boulogne-sur-Mer, against a last of the championship who imagined playing the leading roles at the start of the season. “They just won against Sète on Tuesday (3-0). We imagine them in confidence. It will be up to us to be as a team and to be realistic in front ”. And it is up to him, the released winger, to hide one eye and smile, which would presage a joy to be shared.
