“We were waiting for that, we can’t wait to resume competition“. The enthusiasm of winger Gamardo-Dacquois Alpha Mbodj, while the Landais make a short return to the championship this Tuesday evening. Dax-Gamarde Basket has not played in the league since his last trip to Vitré. It was. on October 24 for an 89 to 79 loss.
This Tuesday evening, at 8 p.m., the National One team will play in Tarbes against Union Tarbes-Lourdes Basket. This is in fact the match postponed due to Covid from the second day of the championship. The Basketball Federation chose this month of December to play the matches that had been postponed before the real resumption of the championship in early January 2021. “There we will play and _after we still have a month without playing_, because afterwards, we resume the weekend of January 9. It will take another month off“, explains Alpha Mbodj.
A particular calendar, “very complicated“, says Jean Lamaignère the president of DGB 40, who is annoyed by the situation. For his part, Alpha Mbodj tries to be positive:”it’s not easy but _we are not to be pitied given the situation in France_. We can train.“
Relaunch a good dynamic
In any case, the group is complete. And with a record of one victory for four defeats, Dax-Gamarde, penultimate in the standings, must restart the machine after a failed start to the season: “yes we had trouble. Like many teams, we had a little truncated preparation, new players, so the time for everything to fall into place. There, we had time. I think that’we used wisely the time that was given to us in quotation marks. Now, we have to see if we manage to revive a good dynamic. In any case I believe it“, explains winger Gamardo-Dacquois Alpha Mbodj. The DGB 40 will therefore test its (very) long preparation against a team from Tarbes-Lourdes even more in difficulty, last in the championship, which only played three games on six and won none.
