No time to think. Only four days after its frustrating 72-74 defeat against La Roche Vendée, C'Chartres MBF returns this Wednesday, December 4 to the Colisée floor for a round of 16 of the Coupe de France against Tarbes Gespe Bigorre. With the competition not being their priority, should the Bluelights, bottom of the championship, go all out with the Lattes-Montpellier reception looming on Saturday? Elements of response with the Chartres coach Benoît Marty…
Non
A competition out of reach. A trophy and direct qualification for the Euroleague for the winner. With such sporting – and financial – stakes, the Coupe de France arouses desire. For the big clubs, there is no question of ignoring this competition in which three successes can lead to the title (1). You just have to take a look at the prize list to realize it. Bourges, winner five times and holder of the trophy, Basket Landes (4) and Lattes-Montpellier (2), have shared the last eleven editions. The last “intruder” is called Arras. His victory dates back to 2012… “Going to Bercy is a dream. But we cannot hope to win this Coupe de France or even reach the final…” admits Benoît Marty.
