After the defeat at Adour Dax (64-56), is there still hope for the JSA to hang this climb in N1?
We knew that to optimize our chances of climbing, we had to finish first or second. With this reverse, we have erased them a little. There now, it will be complicated but there are still mathematical formulas where it is possible if we win the last two games and if Marmande loses her two games. Even if it represents a low percentage, you always have to hope.
For the last at home, do you receive Brissac with a spirit of revenge towards the first leg?
We had been surprised there with a very bad second half. It was a match just before the cut that hurt us since on paper, we had all the weapons to dominate this team. So yes, we are revengeful and await this match. We will try to put the odds on our side and have a nice meeting.
What will be the key elements to try to beat the Angevins?
Our strength at home is that we often manage to impose our pace. We manage to make defensive stops which allow us to project ourselves quickly forward, to play the counterattack and thus deploy our game. We will also have to analyze their major strengths and players to control and limit them.
What primary motivation animates you on these last days?
We want to finish as high as possible. There are two games left, we will try to win them and then we will do the accounts. Third place is always accessible. The second and the first too. Everyone has to lose at the top and win everything. In any case, we will give everything and we will see what it gives on the finish line.
