the essentials This Friday evening, the Toulouse residents, although they entered their match in the best possible way, finally lost the chess game to the people of Nantes, invincible at home. We were playing the fifteenth day of Spike Ligue.
And in the end… it’s Nantes who wins at La Trocadière. Undefeated in their den since the start of the season, Hubert Henno’s boys! “We say to ourselves that we have been very close, on several occasions, that we are on par,” sighed Patrick Duflos. “Maybe we even played better than them. We have a little lack of experience, the team is young and this was felt at the end of the set when it was necessary to be decisive…”

However, his men struck hard from the start! The frustration, certainly, of the tie-break defeat on the last day against Poitiers carried the Spacer’s into a first set which they would dominate head and shoulders (4-11, 11-21). Enough to repel local desires and force their counterparts to try new combinations (16-25).

But once the machine started, the vista of Chaboissant serving his finishers well on their legs offered a tight dance to the score. Hubert Henno multiplied the rotations and the entry of Huetz – impeccable yesterday – dynamited the Spacer’s hopes of taking off. And the pattern at the end of the round would unfortunately become recurrent for the Haut-Garonnais. “Their quality of service is devastating… This allows them to deploy their qualities and make a difference. We clearly missed that” analyzed Coach Duflos.
The same three rounds
Perfect copy and paste. Three sets completed 25-22, often during which Picard and his team led by four lengths, ending each time with a beautiful series of serves and one or two monster bloks made in Nantes. We felt the fatigue weighing on our shoulders. The will and freshness of the young Toulouse sharp Féral made his troop breathe a little easier, but Duflos’ men lacked lucidity. “We must nevertheless continue on this path.”
