Although acquired with forceps, in the last seconds last Saturday against Rezé (82-72), the last success of the men of President Benoît Fillonneau has value of reference in the field of combativeness and total commitment. This latest success surely weighs heavily on the morale of the tenants of the Collineum, who are determined to seek other laurels and if possible this Saturday evening. The only hitch that has so far occurred is that of the second evening of this season against the “supposedly” modest Landais of Serrelous-Horsarrieu, currently at the top of the group and alone for the moment to have known only victory.
Motivated visitors
The misfortune of Aziz Dembélé’s teammates lies in the fact that the men from Gironde set foot on the ground this Saturday evening in Beaupuy, probably driven by a strong desire for rehabilitation after the disappointment recorded last Saturday in their room against Garonne (71- 72). In other words, the BBM could well pay for the broken pots last week by the team of President Casagrande in the Bordeaux metropolis. But this evocation is to be classified only in the field of threat and the players of the BBM do not agree to comply with such a shadowy prognosis, like its new leader Hugo Pellure. “It is certain that we are on a war footing, driven by extreme motivation, as in each match that we play elsewhere, spoke Thursday evening the ex-Montois. We have shown on several occasions that we know how to fight to the end and compete with the best”, barely referring to the last confrontation with the Papo, Guillou and other Show in the last match against Rezé.
“Especially, continued Hugo Pellure, since we are currently playing with eight able-bodied players. I know their leader Chassaigne well, who is a formidable player with whom I was at Pau. It will have to be watched over like milk on the fire. They also talk to me about Eddy Steiner who played here again last season. I only know him by name and for having rubbed shoulders with him on certain occasions, but never on the court. In my opinion the danger will come from everywhere, with the so-called Rezendès, very successful against the Garonne. We will therefore have to be vigilant, multiply in all directions, in attack and in defence, but we have already demonstrated that we can also do in this area. »
The best thing for Alexandre Tansini’s men would obviously be to take matters into their own hands as soon as hostilities begin and to avoid a return of visitors as oppressive as that of Rezé last week. Easy to say, much harder to do!
