UIt was not a week after his qualification for his second final of the Landes Cup in A row, against the Montois stadium on June 7 in Gamarde, the leader of National 2 found the championship before the last three days of the regular season. The ESMS is going this Saturday (8 p.m.) to Niort this Saturday, with the ambition to get closer to the Final Four of N2, scheduled for the end of May.
Faced with a team that has nothing to play, this trip will be far from a health walk. The current leader will have to be suspicious. “As a rule, our trips to Niort have always been complicated and laborious in recent seasons,” says the momentum Arnold Bouazza. Of the three times, we won only once (last year, NDKR). This is not a match that will be given to us, it is up to us to be serious and applied. But we must not hide that a victory would allow us to put an option in first place. And to continue his beautiful series, symbolized by only two defeats in 2025.
Remi Lesca to the ABC?
Will Rémi Lesca leave the ESMS at the end of the season? According to our information, the leader of the momentum, who arrived in 2023, will not stack for a third year in the Chalossais club. The former player of the Béarnais ignition and Boulazac, 34, wishes to favor his professional life – he is an insurer of trade – and family, but he should not leave the Landes prosecutors for as much. Rémi Lesca is thus off to join the future Basket Chalosse, current 4th regional 1, next season.
-Diminished, but determined
Because if the dynamics are on the side of Romain Hillotte’s partners, the cup match has left traces and it is a reduced workforce that will present itself in Deux-Sèvres. This is why the coach and the staff lightened the workload, in order to favor care and recovery. If Mamadou Keita will hold his place, Abdoulaye N’Doye, insufficiently recovered, will be forfeited. Physical seeds which hardly be the determination of the Landes and their coach.
“It is true that we are leaving, but I think we have enough collective experience to overcome this,” explains Arnold Bouazza. Even if the absence of Abdou (N’Doye) does not compensate so easily, we have readjusted with the forces involved. We will have to put aggression and determination. It is in adversity that we reveal ourselves. The opportunity, too, to take advantage of the depth of bench and physical freshness to make rotations. Because less than a week before the meeting against the Asch in quarters of the Super Cup “Sud Ouest” on Thursday May 8 in Toulouzette, a victory against Niort would considerably give off the horizon of the ESMS in NM2.
