Villenueve-d’Ascq Aims for a Strong Start to the New Year
Following a triumphant December that saw them secure a victory against Lattes (46-58), the Villenvienses are gearing up for a challenging but promising new year. Thier coach, Mathieu Peymirat, has emphasized the teamS rigorous training regimen, stating that they have been working “every day, even Sundays…” This intense preparation is crucial as they face two formidable opponents in speedy succession.
Peymirat sees these upcoming matches as valuable preparation for their Febuary trip to Colomiers, a team currently ranked sixth with 15 points. He believes that a win against Colomiers would be a important step forward, solidifying their position in the standings. “If we beat them, it will give us a strong foundation to build on,” he explains, highlighting the team’s ambition to climb the ranks.
However, Peymirat remains cautious, acknowledging the tight competition in the league. Villenvienses currently sit in the middle of the table, just two points ahead of the bottom three teams: Limoges, Roanne, and Poinçonnet.
Building Momentum: From Champions to Contenders
The Villenvienses have transitioned seamlessly from their N2 French champions status to the challenges of a higher league. Their recent string of three consecutive victories against Annemasse, Roanne, and Espoirs de Lattes Montpellier demonstrates their adaptability and growing confidence.
Peymirat attributes these successes to the team’s hard work and composure. “These wins are well-deserved,” he says, “They reward the girls’ dedication and our commitment to staying focused.” He also acknowledges that these victories help compensate for earlier setbacks, particularly the home defeats against colomiers and Martigues, which the team is determined to learn from.
While the Villenvienses have shown flashes of brilliance, Peymirat recognizes the need for greater consistency.”We have strong 15-minute bursts,” he notes, “but we need to maintain that intensity for longer periods, ideally 30 or 40 minutes.”
A Chance to make a Statement
The upcoming match against SI Graffenstaden presents a prime opportunity for the villenvienses to make a statement. The Alsatian team, currently second in the standings with 18 points, boasts a substantial budget and is determined to secure promotion.Peymirat sees this as a chance for his team to prove their mettle. “We are looking to make a move and would love to upset them on our home court,” he says. Captain Alexia Lacaule and her teammates are eager to capitalize on this opportunity, hoping to replicate their success against Roanne, where Lacaule’s clutch free throws secured a thrilling victory.
The Showdown
Ambitions Girondines (7th/15 pts) will face off against SI Graffenstaden (2nd/18 pts) this Saturday, January 11th, at 8 p.m. at the Elisabeth Riffiod hall.
