Rémy Valin (Fos): “Dijon are the strongest team we have played so far”

On Friday night, Dijon largely dominated Fos-sur-Mer (66-100) at the start of Matchday 7 of Betclic Élite. For the Provencal coach, the JDA is a cador of the French league.

Dijon is on good dynamics. Against the Fos on Friday evening, Nenad Markovic’s team obtained their third consecutive victory in the Betclic Elite, after the controlled successes in Blois and against Nanterre.

Irresistible from the first quarter (14-29), Dijonnais, in the wake of a very good Markis McDuffie (24 points at 7/8 on shots and 6 rebounds), inflicted on Rémy Valin’s boys a hard defeat in front of their supporters at Parsemain .

“There is (Friday) evening, we didn’t show a pretty face. Faced with this type of team, you have to do everything better than them to hope, but sometimes we can’t even stand out (…). We take the pressure from the start and what Dijon has suffered in Malaga, we have suffered this evening (Friday). When they don’t have a Champions Cup during the week, we see the power and toughness they can have (…). They are the strongest team we have played so far, more than Le Mans where we were missing two players, “said Fos coach Rémy Valin in comments transcribed by The public good.

” It’s hard to get a slap like that. It’s hard to find positive when you’ve got 100 points at home Jo Passave-Ducteil also commented. Especially since the Fos (2-4, 14th) will not have an easy program in November with trips to ASVEL, which has just concluded its benchmark match against Vitoria in the Euroleaguethis Sunday then in Strasbourg, which must conquer victories after a weak start, after the break for the national teams.

As for Dijonnais, two tests await them this week: in BCL against Sassari (Tuesday at 8 pm) then in the Principality against the unbeaten leader of the championship, Monaco, next Sunday.
