After the major Nancy – Fréjus
2-3
Of course, with a little more luck, the coin could have fallen on the right side for the GNVB. After being brought to zero for 2 sets and especially slapped in the 3rd set (15-25) by the Fréjusiens, Nancy eventually lost 14-16 in the tie-break. However, on Saturday, Grand Nancy VB suffered their second league defeat in five rounds.
A novelty from the 2019/2020 season! And even then the GNVB had registered one of its setbacks outside (Saint-Quentin). However, at the beginning of the financial year and before the next Cannes weekend (formerly Ligue A!), Century and Fréjus have already managed to rob Nancy’s safe … now they are looking for a solid lock.
Because without Abiud Chirchir, his cutting edge, the GNVB is a Ligue B lambda capable of being beaten by the ninth (at kickoff) while depriving itself of two of its key pieces. “Without making excuses, the absence of a sharp point is more damaging,” Eric Ngapeth blurs.
Eric Ngapeth: “I fully assume the summer transfer window”
In front of Fréjus, the Kenyan’s overwhelmed arm was terribly lacking in Nancy’s “six”. Far be it from us to overwhelm Danny Poda, her deputy, to push himself to the fore as a neophyte of the office. It is the GNVB’s worrying inability to find other cutting edges and the mood of the group that raises the most questions. “We cannot hope to go up to Ligue A by relying exclusively on Chirchir”, warns the GNVB coach who underlines the lack of commitment of some of these players.
“I completely assume the summer transfer window,” Ngapeth cuts. “Now I have to change some things. I started doing it at the free pole where I realized that Sylvain (Beneix) had gone up fewer balls. This is why I threw Théo Garnon in the depths ”.
The latter made a promising entrance. But he was one of the only men off the bench to bring added value. “Once again I gave Théo (Josserand) a chance,” continues Pépète. “He made a mistake on his first ball. I still waited before releasing it. As for the pass, if Réché (Minzigou) is perhaps cleaner in passing, Dimitri (Walgenwitz) defends better, serves and replies better. Finally, in the center, I am missing a central 3rd (En-NakhaI was refused a visa), suddenly D’Almeida and Mabiala lack real competition “.
Suffice it to say that this situation of senators begins to exasperate Ngapeth in search of warriors. “Apart from Dimitri (Walgenwitz), there is no other leader in the field,” he regrets. In any case, one thing is certain: if Nancy Maggiore cannot (re) find the eye of the tiger quickly, she will continue to slide slowly in the rankings.
