Rémy Valin has rarely had to play for seasonal ends like the present. After having released the Nantes Basket Hermine (16th) from the dead end by a substantive work, the Nantes technician, renewed for two years, lives an epilogue of exercise without stake or pressure. It’s a bit weird when, in high level sport, you have nothing more to play
he admits.
Three days from the term of the championship, the NBH will move twice in a row, this Friday, May 2 in Roanne (5th), then in Gries (6th) in a week, before receiving Poitiers (8th) on May 13. Three teams that are still in the race for playoffs (1st to 6th in the ranking) or Play-in (7th to 10th).
For hopes, one weekend on two paintings
-The Nantes will therefore have the role of referee to play on these occasions. For the rest, nothing to report except that Stéphan Gauthier’s partners do not win, evidenced by their victory against Vichy (91-82, April 18) and their solid match at the expense of the leader Blois (67-76, April 25).
These are complicated matches to approach in our conditions, since we kept ourselves seven days from the end,
specifies Rémy Valin. But there is a big investment in training despite being reduced. The sessions are competitive and dynamic. And we can count on our hopes that train very hard with us.
Like Raphaël Boum, author, at 17, of a major performance against Blois, Narcisse Kuyo, Maxime Carrio or Nikolas Farkas. The youngest NBH players are currently present on the two tables. Upon their return from Roanne, they will find their U21 teammates to continue with the quarter-finals of their championship, Sunday (4 p.m.) in the Sainte-Marthe room, against Saint-Chamond Andrézieux. Ideas to study and put in place for next season? We work there
summarizes Rémy Valin. In the meantime, the NBH will try to have fun in Roanne and confirm his victory for the first leg at La Trocardière (97-84).
