For his coach Julie Barennes, everything will depend on the ability of his players to recover from the efforts made, both physically and mentally, during this series of high-stakes matches, particularly against the former Angevin leader and in the European Cup. “The question is always the same: do we have enough juice? The dynamic is positive, we have won four matches, we play well, we defend hard, begins the technician. Now we have to be able to maintain this pace and it is far from easy. You leave such a riot of physical and emotional energy during these matches…”
Sequence and fatigue
“It’s true that we’ve had a lot of time,” continues fullback Louise Bussière, “that’s not many “off” days between matches but we’re used to it. It's certain that there is fatigue, but everything is in place so that we rest well and are ready for Sunday. »
The Landaises therefore move with a certain ambition to Lattes-Montpellier who, after three defeats in a row, including two at home against Angers and Bourges, won in Tarbes (61-71) before easily winning their sixth match of Eurocup group against Friborg (93-60) this Thursday. “It will be great to win. We would remain second, we would put BLMA two victories behind, Julie Barennes projects. We're going for that and I think we can do it. But away matches are complicated. If we are not there physically, we will not impose ourselves, because against these teams, it is not forgiving. »
