The players of C’Chartres BF receive, this Saturday, February 19, the Cherbourg red lantern (8 p.m., at the Jean-Cochet hall) to chain a second success in a row, and potentially, get back on the podium.
The CCBF season is far from being a long calm river. But after 16 days in L2, India Farcy’s partners are where they wanted to be: in ambush. Stealthily back on the 2nd step of the podium after their laborious success at the Pôle France (44-53) last week, the Chartraines (4th) have the possibility of going back there, as of this evening, thanks to the duel which opposes Strasbourg to Mondeville.
premium C’Chartres Basket Féminin wins against Pôle France
On paper, the task may seem easy against Cherbourg, red lantern. But that was before the Manchoises won a second success this season, Wednesday, ahead of Montbrison (68-62), one of the teams in form at the moment (7 wins in 8 outings before his disappointment in the Cotentin) .
In a championship where everyone can beat everyone, the CCBF players would be ill-advised to show up at the Halle Jean-Cochet with a flower in their hands, especially since they remain unbeaten there in 2022 (victories over Mondeville and Champagne Basket).
Even if their record is positive this year (3 wins, 2 losses), Benoît Marty’s proteges are slow to repeat the successful full match against Mondeville on January 15 (68-51).
First leg ended in extra time
“What we put in the defensive intensity, it can affect our address, our lucidity (only 35% success in shooting at the Pôle France, last week, editor’s note). But defense remains an essential part of our game, ”says Marine Debaut, post 1/2 of the CCBF, who does not have a short memory.
“On the way to Cherbourg, it ended in overtime (71-76 success) so we expect them to be revengeful. They don’t have much to lose, but we are ready: we worked hard in training this week, ”warns the 2nd best scorer in the CCBF, 10.8 points on average this season.
CHARTRES (halle Jean-Cochet), this Saturday at 8 p.m. C’Chartres BF: Married, Mfutila, Hillotte, Debaut, Bienvenu, Long, Niaré, Mahoutou, Farcy, Griard.
Cherbourg : Touré, Sidibé, Bothier, Enjolvy, Carlier, King, Benedetti, Diop, Mendy, Coquemont.
