In the honorary division during the 2012-2013 season, captain of a semi-finalist team of Coupe de France in 2015 and now international, Sarah Nahim has made a nice football course to date. However, it is above all its behavior and values ​​that are put forward by those who know it.
Trained in Saint-Quentin before spending a year at Amiens SC, Sarah Nahim has subsequently responded to calls from the Rouen football club to engage in the summer of 2014. From the beginning of the season, Hakli Dahmane He also entrusted him with the captain's armband, which she still retains under the orders of Stéphane Arnold. At 25, Sarah Nahim is "a good level D2," says the latter, she is not yet at the top in the field of tactics. His technique is above average but there are still sometimes risky choices, "he continues. She herself concedes it without bitterness, however, "I would not have the pretension to aim for the D1 because there is a huge landing between the two divisions. I would have been a little younger I could have tried but here I stay on my basic goals to play D2: it's done. After that if I have the opportunity to go up to D1 with a club of D2 for the emotional level it would be the icing on the cake. If I ride with a D2 it would be the best! "
With her head on her shoulders, the sports educator has always had her and becoming a Moroccan international recently did not change her way of living football. "No official competition so you do not realize too much but go play in Jordan with your dad with tears in his eyes that's nice. I'm French and proud to be, but it's important for mom and dad. It reminds me of the origins of my parents, who gave me an origin of which I am proud too. "

 


Exemplary human values
"It takes the group upwards, it's important," says S. Arnold, "it has something federating that makes it possible to make the link between the coach and the rest of the group, it is crucial in a group ". All her coaches highlight the human values ​​of this central defender.
"Sarah does not take herself for someone else, she is natural, she has a passion and she lives it thoroughly. To build my project I wanted beautiful and good people, and when I met Sarah I wanted to know what woman she was. She was a beautiful person, humanly someone very very good. Few compliments today in football, yet Dominique Chevalier (who has had under his command in Amiens for a year, ed) is raving about him. "Someone humble, a little lack of self-confidence at the time because she did not know her potential. Having passed the goal of the D2 she set the goal, Sarah is now captain of the FCR and even if the coaches "have never been his best friends" as she says it themselves, they find a essential pawn of the life of a group "it is for many in the good results of the ASC of the time" admits the former friend of coach, "she does not take the cabbage", adds Arnold. The captaincy? No additional pressure, or exaggeration vis-à-vis the group "the atmosphere that I put, it's in my personality. Without the armband I do it anyway. "
As the first half of the season comes to an end and the FCR is doing so "respectably" according to its coach, the captain of the reds and whites will continue to put a good atmosphere in the group while remaining faithful to herself.
