If the end of the regular championship was complicated for the LBB, the resumption of training for the Play-Downs was made in an excellent atmosphere. And for good reason, the Landerneans have recovered their natural leader, Nausia Woolfolk, back from injury, on the one hand, and the young prodigy Adja Kane was drafted by New York Liberty (WNBA) on Tuesday. “It is true that it gives smiles and that it feels good to everyone. This is the first time that a licensed player in Landerneau has been drafted, ”says coach Wani Muganguzi.
The technician remains, however, focus on the objective of the day which is to beat Roche-Vendée this Friday: “We have only one thing in mind, it is to start well by offering a victory to our supporters who have not dropped us since the start of the season. It is essential to start this series with a positive result ”.
A real fight
Moreover, if the Landerneans have the good idea to win and, in parallel, the European Champions of Villeneuve are imposed in Chartres in the other meeting of this mini-championship, the LBB would then have four victories in advance on the Chartraines, which would necessarily give a real trend for maintenance.
But the first mission devoted to the teammates of Prescillia Lezin is to bypass the Vendée obstacle. The Rochoises won twice in the league in front of the LBB. “We know that it is a group that never lets go. We fear their rear and their physical density knowing, moreover, that the coach will leave the club and that he absolutely wants to leave it in the female league before are departure. It is up to us to be consistent in the effort for forty minutes to impose ourselves, ”concludes the coach.
