At the end of the 16th day of the national championship, Berri footballers are late. They occupy sixth place with 27 points. The Castelroussins are therefore seven points behind the leader Concarneau, six points behind Villefranche-Beaujolais and five points behind the third Annecy: “We are still in the passage times. We must not panic because the championship will be played in the second part of the season. “specifies Patrick Trotignon, Managing Director of Berri.
A reinforcement see two at the very beginning of January
The Castelroussins leaders have already established contacts with a very experienced defensive midfielder who has already evolved in league 2. The idea is that he will travel to Bastia-Borgo on Friday January 7, 2022 and perhaps a defender to compensate for the injury and the distance from the Adam Mbengue pitch. The former player from the Malherbe stadium in Caen could be absent until the end of January or even the beginning of February. In the departures department, the club, for the moment, has not received the slightest proposal for Ilyas Chouaref who refused an extension with his training club. Romain Sans, or even Léandro Moranté, could be loaned. The sports sector is meeting this week to take stock of the players in question.
The new Berri training center should be inaugurated in March
Sixty beds will be available to the training center with twin-bedded rooms with incorporated showers and four-bedded rooms with collective showers: “There will be all the offices of the administrative center of the professional section. There will also be the changing rooms for the professional section in the white building located on avenue de la Châtre. We will also have a magnificent weight room which will be fully equipped. In total, as far as the pitches are concerned, we will have three pitches plus a half court for goalkeeper training. The inauguration will take place in the first months of 2022 and we hope to invite some football stars“explains Patrick Trotignon.
United Word Academy will be operational in September 2022
The United World academy will allow young foreign players to benefit from French training know-how. This private academy will be backed up by the training center, using the skills of the Berrichonne at the request of the international group United World. The idea is to welcome in this new structure around twenty young people per season. The amount to integrate such a structure is between 30 and 50,000 euros. This new academy could be located at the Regional Technical Center route de Velles in Châteauroux, or why not at Martinerie.
