Poitiers is in the final. It took 13 years for the Poitevins to find the highest step of the French volleyball. Dan Lewis players qualified against CVB 52 (Haute-Marne) in the semi-final return of the Marmara Spikeligue. And in what way : 3 to 0, net.
If the third set was a little more relaxed, the Poitevins largely dominated the debates on the first two. With a hyper prolific attack (42 winning attacks) and a very poor game in faults, the Alterna Stadium Poitevin Volleyball showed that it was necessary to count on them at the highest French level.
With almost 2,500 spectators, the Frédéric Lawson-Body room pushed from start to finish. It was a first for this Poitevin spectator: “(There was one) Very big atmosphere. It makes a lot of noise when everyone gives voice to push the team. It was very pleasant. “
“It’s extraordinary, now that we are in the final we can claim perhaps to play Europe”was starting to dream of another supporter. The final will take place on May 10 in Poitiers. The Lawson-Body room will have the opportunity to prove its cauldron status a little more to push the alterna SPVB at the end of the suspense.
The Canadian coach did not hide his joy at the end of his team’s demonstration: “I was super happy with the group after Tourcoing, but we do not make celebrations. Now we have to take this energy of victory with the group and the atmosphere here. After a short break we will refocus.”
Tonight was our attacking on attack, we made blocks too, but the most important thing is (to have done) fewer mistakes. If we can play like that, it’s difficult for the other team.

On the side of the players also satisfaction was there, like the Franco Massimino frequent liberty. “”We are in the final, we will be able to play until the last day of the season “rejoiced the Argentinian. “(I am) Very proud of the team and especially what we did in the play-offs. But it should not be hidden that it was a very special and very difficult season for the whole team. I look at all the faces here in Lawson-Body and everyone is happy today. “

After the match, Silvano Prandi, the Chaumontais coach easily recognized the rout of his team: “We lost 3-0, (It is) deserved for Poitiers. Congratulations to them. “
When defining what made the scales telled as much in favor of the Poitevins, the Italian technician appeared resigned: “Quite the difference. The service, the attack, the reception, the block … There is no (just) One thing that made the difference, completely made the difference. “

Chaumont had nevertheless finished in second place in the regular season championship. While the Alterna SPVB fought hardly to win sixth place. If we refer to the forecasts, the CVB 52 was given favorite, despite the defeat in the first leg (1-3). But the Poitevine team was no longer exactly the same as during the rest of the season. The fault of the recruitment of Nik Mujanović, the formidable Slovenian pointed. As a reminder, the former Paris Volley player arrived on March 22 as a medical joker.
Faced with Chaumont he is simply the best scorer in the match with 17 successful attacks and no less than 21 points scored in all. Asked about the underperformance of his team, Silvano Prandi pouts.
“I don’t know, because that is a new team”he said, pointing the bench of Poitiers. “With the pointu who played until yesterday with Paris (Mujanovic). The regulations are stupid. I repeat: stupid. Allowing a team to take, for the play-offs, the best player in another team, for me it is a stupid rule. “
The young pointed (20) will also join Tours next season. Chance means that he could face his future club in the final if he were to triumph over Montpellier.
