“We played backwards. I believe that the issue has taken precedence over the game, ”analyzes Arnaud Calbry, after the defeat in the league in Nancy (34-25), Friday evening. “From the start, we felt the frustration, the annoyance of the players. I saw unusual communication and concentration errors. We felt the fragility of the collective, which was unable to control the events. In fact, I did not recognize the team which gleaned 14 points during the return phase. The pressure of the result undoubtedly inhibited the players who ultimately only played eleven minutes in the second half, enough time to come back from 17-11 (score at the break) to 19-18 (41st) before falling back in its faults”
This famous pressure which makes the matches play before entering the field, shaking the arms, making rookie mistakes, has struck again in Meurthe-et-Moselle. And the Nancy, in particular Rohnan Conte-Pratt (9 goals), the ex-Sarrebourgeois, gave themselves to heart joy to punish the Moselle neighbors. “We got through it, that’s all. We knew what the people of Nancy were going to do and we made it easy for them. Of course, the score is heavy because the team let go in the last minutes. But can we blame the guys? No, of course. Playing with pressure can be learned. This team is quite young and still has a lot of room for improvement in this area, ”said the Sarrebourg coach.
Learn the lessons
It is true that the Moselle supporters did not recognize their team. They also had a lot of trouble making themselves heard in the Jean-Weille sports hall. To say that the Sarrebourg club was able to look eye to eye at that of Grand Nancy is, in itself, already a great performance and a form of recognition of the work provided by the Moselle people. “We have to look things in the face. Sarrebourg and Nancy do not have the same budgets and did not have the same objectives on the starting line. So, yes, it’s a defeat that hurts, but it’s in no way a failure, ”clarified Arnaud Calbry again.
Beyond the defeat, the Sarrebourgeois have accumulated a maximum of experience during these sixty minutes: “This defeat will make the team grow, I am sure. And we must capitalize on this kind of match for next season. In fact, Sarrebourg is in its place. Finishing sixth would have been miraculous for the club, the supporters. To finish a little lower in the standings is simply extraordinary. You have to know how to appreciate this season at its fair value. »
And at the end of this meeting, despite the disappointment of this non-match, it must be recognized that the SMSHB had an extraordinary season which will end next Friday (8:30 p.m.) at Coubertin against Strasbourg. The opportunity to party.
