Rayane Messi scored a goal in her first friendly game of the season, a rare opportunity to play with the first team. This performance recalls its double in the Coupe de France the previous year, highlighting its ability to seize opportunities. The Strasbourg striker was particularly effective at this meeting, thanks to his combinations with Felix Lemaréchal, his ability to project forward and the danger of his right foot. Felix Lemaréchal praised his good game and goal, highlighting their good agreement on the ground and his ability to quickly integrate into the team. This performance is all the more significant as he had little play time in the past season, and as he has already proved his talent during his first appearance as a first team by scoring a double in the Coupe de France.

Therefore, the question now arises as to how Strasbourg coach Liam Rosenior intends to gradually integrate Rayane Messi into offensive rotation. His teammate, Felix Lemaréchal, is convinced of his potential and ability to adapt, stressing that he has already worked with the team the previous year and that he knows the game system well. This confidence reflects the recognition of Messi’s talent within the team and the hope that he can become an important player for the future of Strasbourg.

In another news, FC Lorient, newly promoted in Ligue 1, announced the signing of Kama, the former goaltender of the Racing Club in Strasbourg Alsace. This 28-year-old goalkeeper, after two seasons in Pau in Ligue 2, joins an elite club after being a hero to the Strasbourg fans during the win in the League Cup in 2019. Formed at the Tours FC, Kama played 40 games with Strasbourg, but gradually lost her place as the incumbent. This signature represents an important reinforcement for the Lorient, which seeks to consolidate its workforce before the start of the season.
