Have strong nerves. Mérignac plays a big part of his season this Friday evening in Toulon. With three points ahead of their opponents of the day, the Mérignacaises, first non-relegation, have a small mattress which could disappear in the event of defeat. Suffice to say that this quits or double occupies all minds.
“If we win, we maintain ourselves”, sums up Ilona Kieffer perfectly. And the left-back of the MHB to enumerate: “We are going to play the blow thoroughly. We will have the pressure but it will also be the case of the Varoises. It’s up to us to focus on our game and our qualities. »
The Mérignacaises, however, remain on a large defeat in their den of Pierre-de-Coubertin, against Nice (24-32), a disappointing setback also in the game. Ilona Kieffer prefers to evacuate this non-match: “This defeat made us badly because we remained on rather good performances against Dijon and Plan-de-Cuques, two games that we only lost by one goal. Now, no need to flagellate, to constantly return to our performance against Nice. We have to bounce back and we will only do it collectively. We haven’t lost our handball for two weeks. The team has quality and that can help us in this key match. »
force fate
In the first leg, Mérignac had largely taken the best of the Toulonnaises (28-18). An appreciable differential when you know that in the event of a tie, the particular goal average decides between two teams. Suffice to say that a success of the MHB would ensure the maintenance when there will only be two days left behind. However mistrust as the Mérignacaises revolve around this maintenance for long weeks.
“It’s obviously hard to be close to validating our ticket for next season without being able to assure it, admits Ilona Kieffer. However, we didn’t just perform badly, but it came to naught in some matches. “However, it will be necessary to force fate this Friday so as not to experience a cold sweat at the end of the championship.
