With more than 800 spectators, all the ingredients were there for the Laval residents to bring down the leader. In a white-hot room, the Pegasi delivered a mano a mano with the Oise players (20-20) in the first round. At the end of the set, the experience of the Beauvaisiens and the excitement of the Mayennais in these crucial moments allowed the leader to win (25-22).
“We’re too nice”
Despite losing the first set, the Pegases took the lead in the second set under the leadership of a decisive Louka Louvet. Committing too many errors, the leader suffered the law of Laval who logically stuck to a set everywhere (25-16). Continuing from the second round, the Pégases were in the lead and led up to 23-20 in the third set. Too soft and not knowing how to drive the point home, and committing some fatal individual errors, they let the visitors come back, who pocketed the set win (26-24).
The fourth set was a copy and paste of the first set, where both teams were neck and neck. But it was once again the Beauvaisiens finishing the set in the lead (25-22). Solid, the leader could celebrate his rise to N1, under the eyes of Laval residents disappointed at not having achieved the feat. I announced it: you have to be consistent from the start to the end of the set. We, once again, failed to manage money-time
, said the Laval coach, Glenn Tuifua, very upset. In a match where they missed their chance, the Pegasus suffered the experience of the leader: We are too nice, we have to question ourselves
concluded Glenn Tuifua.
