After two defeats in a row against Dijon and Le Havre, the Greens will have to raise their heads against a Strasbourg team which is still looking for its first victory in the championship. Stéphanoises who create a surprise at the start of the year by ranking in fourth place. Favorites on paper, Laurent Mortel's players will have to face Alsatians, just promoted, who are currently at the bottom of the table. A victory is necessary against a direct competitor for the Greens' primary objective, maintenance.
At the end of the match against Dijon, Laurent Mortel conceded to our microphone that he did not recognize his team with two losses in a row in the championship: “I don't recognize my team, I just told the girls that I had a feeling of shame because we only repeated individual errors, only repeated technical fouls. We weren't able to make three passes in a row. When it's one player passing through we can do something but when it's several players, I'm short. hurt, you have to be able to analyze your own individual performance. I told the girls in the locker room at the end of the match that what we had produced was nothing and that it did not correspond to what we can do. I am ashamed of that. that we gave today as an image of our project.”
It is therefore up to the Stéphanoises to react after a convincing start to the season and three consecutive successes. See you in Strasbourg, 9 p.m. for the Greens.
