It’s a fact: the Sablais are struggling to find the right fuel far from their bases, in view of the three heavy defeats on the road. “Yes, we travel badly. But we have to put things into perspective: we lose the co-leader at Rueil, at Lorient who will finish in the top 4, and at Vitré where it is always very complicated ”, puts coach Makan Dioumassi into perspective. His people are more inspired at home with two victories (Bordeaux, Poitiers) which keep them afloat. The ideal would therefore be to rebalance the balance sheet again at Beauséjour, which serves as an adjustment variable …
The LSVB welcomes Angers tonight, for an opposition between two formations with the numbers turned upside down in the offseason: 90% for the Vendeans, three-quarters for the Mainoligériens. There the similarities end: “We don’t box in the same category. It is the undisputed leader and the best team of the two pools ”, with five victories in as many days, and presenting the best statistics per team (points scored, evaluation, assists…) for the two pools. Individually, there is inevitably talent in store, such as gunner Gauthier (15.8 pts) or pocket leader Williams.
The Kunter Paw
“Angers has shown its willingness to climb. Coach Sylvain Delorme called on former players from the Cholet training center. The Choletaise identity is marked. We find the Kunter paw. The technical-tactical level is quite high ”, persuades the technician from Sablé.
From where the idea of a beautiful challenge to be taken up for the gang to Captain Lessort, deprived of the leader Lucas Plasse for some time yet. “It will take a feat, let’s be realistic, does not hide Makan Dioumassi, recalling that the Angevins twice beat the LSVB in pre-season preparation matches. We will have to be ourselves, achieve a match of character, and develop a lot of energy, without seeing ourselves as little Thumb. “
This gala match will also be used for “Prepare for the rest of the championship, facing more affordable teams: Dax, Cergy-Pontoise, Tarbes and Rennes”. That is to say four meetings to follow in the space of ten days! Another challenge to negotiate well.
