Table tennis | Pro B gentlemen. What to know before moving the Metz TT to Thorigné-Fouillard

A bad patch

The Metz TT is going through a rough patch. After having signed his first victory in the Issy-lès-Moulineaux hall, mid-November, the players of Nathanaël Molin, penultimate of Pro B, have just recorded two defeats in a row, against Chartres and, more surprisingly , at home last Friday against Tours, a direct competitor in the fight for maintenance. A setback that Captain Metz had struggled to digest. The week of training was somewhat reassuring about the state of his troops. ” It’s okay. We are in a series of matches, we must get up immediately. There was one day a little complicated and we returned to a correct order of march ”, estimates the Lorraine coach.

Facing the leader

The rest of the celebrations promises to be tough this Friday. The Metz TT travels to Thorigné-Fouillard, leader of the championship (five wins in six days), carried by a successful trio made up of the Iranian Noshad Alamiyan (n ° 25) and the French Jules Rolland (n ° 61) and Damien Provost (n ° 78). In the past, Chen Diogo, the Portuguese from Metz TT, and Esteban Dorr have already managed to bend the Bretons, which allows the Lorraine to believe in their chances. “We are already going to look for a point, that’s the goal in this match,” says Nathanaël Molin.

Prepare for a crucial week

In addition to the result, captain Metz will monitor the behavior of his players during this meeting. He is waiting for the best in view of the crucial meetings to come. “We must perform well to achieve good performance against teams more playable for us, Argentan (Tuesday) and Nantes (next Friday)”, launches the Moselle technician.
