After four seasons spent at Grand Nancy, punctuated by a few appearances with the professional group (D2), Simon Vauchelet signed this summer in Thionville (N3), his training club. “Beyond the sporting aspect with the ambitious project of the club which seduced me, the president found me an alternation so I did not hesitate very long,” explains the center-half. Despite a slight delay in ignition, “I needed a little time to adapt”, everything had started well for the Thionvillois, under its new colors.
Confirmed candidate for the rise in National 2, Thionville Moselle HB made a very good start to the championship (undefeated after three days), before the Covid-19 epidemic whistled the end of the game. “It’s annoying, we had managed to create a good group and we were on a good momentum despite the poor performance against P2H Longwy (22-22)”. Even if the young man understands this decision in view of the current health situation, he does not hide his disappointment: “We expected it but I was hoping for better for my return, it’s frustrating”, concedes the 22-year-old player .
Distance training
To get back in shape on the floors when possible, the half-center (1.90m) and his partners continue to train together but from a distance. “We train at the usual times, three times a week, except that we do it by videoconference. We do 45 minutes of muscle building. “
The perfect fit for that Mikkel Hansen fan. “It helps maintain a certain group cohesion, it’s important,” said the Thionvillois. “I think it is the team that will adapt best to confinement that will manage to do well on the restart,” concludes Simon Vauchelet.
