Lieu Rezé (Arthur-Dugast gymnasium). Referees The Wallet and Degny Akoman. Hourly This Saturday at 8 p.m.
Rezé has a solid collective which relies less on the performance of some major elements than on a well -oiled collective. Seven players are able to score in a match and have shown that they had to be wary of them until the end. During the first leg, the Garonnais won 11 points (85-74) but had to wait for the second half to distance their opponents. Ugo Teurcq had then tried everything not to sink (25 points) but Corentin Lopez and the Garonnais collective had then managed to hold the interiors visitors.
-Since then, Rezé has continued on his way and now finds himself just behind the GAB in the standings, with a small additional defeat. Suffice to say that the residents of the mound will have every interest in winning on the move to keep their fifth place. Rezé has already lost four times in his room against Brissac, Auch or the JSA Bordeaux, most often on reduced differences. But it must be recognized that the Nantes suburbs have the annoying tendency to miss when the pressure is too strong at the end of the meeting, it is still necessary to have solid nerves for visitors.
Do not think about the cup
There is room to win but it will be necessary to put all the ingredients that have made the Garonnais success this season: defend hard and share the ball in attack. Of course, group leaders have an important role to play but it is the whole collective who must show that we will have to count on him for the end of the season.
After two weeks of cut and the discovery of the quarterfinals of the “South West” Super Cup in Saint-Médard (N3) on May 8 (4:30 p.m.), Adrien Ferrer’s men should not be in stand-by mode, the head a bit elsewhere. Before thinking of direct elimination deadlines, the championship is not over. There are three days left and as many possibilities to grab a few points, or even a few places in the classification according to the results of the other teams.
