His arrival in Chartres last summer should allow the CCMHB to take a new step in its progress.
Tomorrow, Adrian Figueras will have the opportunity to demonstrate it in an even more concrete way, against one of the behemoths of Starligue: HBC Nantes.
“No friendship on the pitch”
A duel which will be all the more important for the Spaniard as he will find a formation in which he evolved in 2020-2021: “We know that Nantes is very solid. We must not believe ourselves in a position of strength because we have long led them in the championship (defeat conceded in the money-time 40-36) ”, warns the Iberian, close to his former team-mate and left winger of the “H”, Valero Rivera, with whom he honored a hundred selections with La Roja (110). “We have great relationships. But on the ground, there is no more friendship! “Adjusts the pivot of the CCMHB, 117 goals in Starligue this season.

A good statistic related to his efficiency percentage: “74% is better than what I had achieved last season with Nantes (71%). So yes, I’m satisfied. But I think that, like the team, I can still improve in regularity”, warns the double European champion, “weighed down” by his relative success in the 7m throw (9/15, i.e. 60 %). “A sector in which I can improve. But in the absence of Morten Vium, we had to find someone to take the penalties! “, laughs “Adria”, who, back from Covid, had taken a moderate part in the success against Chambéry, on April 20, in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France (victory 26-25, at 0/2 shooting).

Toni Gerona, fifteen years ago: “Adri is a player who brings us a lot. By its statistics but also by its ability to free up spaces for its partners. Beyond that, in the life of the group, he is someone very affable, open to others. And for our young players, his experience is invaluable. The progress of Hugo (Jund), we owe him in part, ”concludes the CCMHB coach, who will rely on his pivot, Friday, May 13, to cross the level which separates the club from an unprecedented final.
