It is a Limoges CSP still full of uncertainties which will present itself this Thursday (6.30 p.m.) on the floor of Dijon, 2nd in the standings. “A huge challenge“in the eyes of the leader Ludovic Beyhurst whose intensity was precious on Monday to help his team to win against Châlons-Reims after a failed 1st half and which shows how far the Limougeauds still have to go. And how can we be wrong when we see the trajectory of the JDA, firmly attached to the JeepELITE podium thanks to its 21 victories for only 5 defeats since the start of the season.
Have a defensive intensity at their height – Romain Chenaud
“It is a benchmark in France. Concerning the stability of the workforce and the way of playing which is also long-term. It’s a steamroller“image assistant coach Romain Chenaud. An opponent faced with Limoges will finally have to find continuity in terms of intensity. “It’s a team that puts a lot of physical impact. You have to be able to oppose it and have a defensive intensity to match them. This is the challenge. We see that we manage to do it but with a workforce that allows us to rotate, we have to achieve it over 40 minutes“hopes Romain Chenaud.
The key, it’s going to be to move the ball – Ludovic Beyhurst
To achieve this, all players must be present. And from the start of the meeting. But faced with the pressure that Laurent Legname’s players are sure to put, we will also have to stay in the collective where the CSP often tends to stop the ball as in the second half against Orléans. “They are very aggressive so the key is to move the ball. This is where we are dangerous because we have a lot of shooters. We must not keep the ball when we are going to be assaulted“anticipates a Ludovic Beyhurst well aware of the adversity to come.
