essential
On the menu of the US L’Isle-Jourdain this Sunday, May 4 at 3 p.m., an eighth final go to Céret. A well -known and feared adversary of Gers.
At this stage of the competition, the opponents are all of great value. None is to denigrate and especially not Céret, that the Lislois know well for having had them in the pool this year. And it was not a sinecure! On the outward journey, in Catalan land, the Gersois, still poorly established, had missed out on their subject and Catalan success had swell the scoring.

In the return match, Céret showed that it is a training that is not afraid of anything, which is very well thwarted when necessary, but above all seize all the opportunities as on the “cap” test of the first half. The Lislois had ended up prevailing by feeding on the many faults of their opponents. Despite a completely deserved gain, they had not shown their best level either, far from it.
“No match will be easy”
But sometimes the important thing is to win. And that’s what it is necessary to happen this Sunday (3 p.m.) in Catalan land, where the weather does not look like the best. But it is not the only danger that awaits the USL on the field, where nothing should be left to chance in the course of the meeting. Because, even in the event that the Lislois take the scoring, even by many, the expression “killing the match” does not exist in Céret.

Olivier Argentin, co-co-co-coach of the USL, is terribly wary of this cerete training: “This team, I dread it because on the first leg, we had the chance to meet them. It is the one that posed us the most problems. And even at home, we won when they lacked people, so we fear this team. And then, at this stage of the competition, no match will be easy. For me, Céret, it’s a bit like Mauléon with a direct game to a pass, they have a very large collective and the players have a sense of enormous sacrifice. It is a team that works well with the “big” and which has free electrons behind and above all an excellent n ° 9. »»
Full workforce
The Lislois coach continues: “On our side, we leave with the status of favorite, but it must not be a concern, we must not be afraid of that. Personally, I fear three weeks without matches, it’s not easy to train and not play behind. Our main asset compared to Montmélian which was beaten by Céret is that we know what to expect, so we will not be surprised like them. But at the risk of repeating myself, I fear them with their simple but terribly effective game, they perfectly master the fundamentals and their very fast ball outings, and hurt. »»

“We know who we are, where we are. We finished best attack in the championship with the best test markers and points. We are complete on all lines, sure of our strengths. We know that we are able to do very well provided we meet, but it remains to be seen how we will have digested these three weeks without playing, if we will quickly find our automatisms, ”concludes Olivier Argentin.
In terms of the workforce, not the shadow of a problem, the batteries are recharged, there is no one injured, so it is the best possible workforce that will be aligned with the Céret lawn this Sunday.
