Three days after its draw in the derby against Montpellier, Usam Nîmes continues with a trip to Cesson, Tuesday, May 25 (6 p.m.) as part of a late match of the 13th day of Starligue.
For the Nîmes, no time to think about or rehash the regrets born of the draw in Montpellier on Saturday, May 22 (29-29). “I simply told the boys that we had to keep the same state of mind in Cesson”, explains Franck Maurice, the coach of Usam, before the trip to Brittany, this Tuesday, May 25.
For the Green team, the end-of-season goal – to keep 5th place, or even go for 4th – seems playable given the schedule proposed by the end of the championship.
A rather affordable schedule … before Paris
In addition to Cesson (13th), the Gardois will indeed play against Ivry (15th), Tremblay (16th) and Istres (12th). A victorious quadruplet that Julien Rebichon and his partners would be well inspired to achieve, especially as their season will come to an end … in Paris. “There, it’s only Cesson that counts. (Usam victory 29-27, April 24), we had difficulties on their long distance shots “, observes Maurice, a trainer still deprived of Salou (sick).
