Le Caen Handball really didn’t come far from victory Thursday November 28, 2024 against Dijon. A victory which would have allowed him to temporarily climb onto the Proligue podium. After the draw held by his team (26-26) Sébastien Quintallet noted the ability of his team to stand up to a demoted Starligue team.

“There was a very good level of handball this evening”

Sébastien Quintallet: “Of course there are regrets when you are tied and you have the ball six against five. But we faltered in the first half. We have a weak time where we are less efficient. We are recovering a little in the quality of the game, but we are still missing some very clear situations. We’re not doing what we usually do. We control less and we pay for it in cash. I am still satisfied with the reaction. We could have sunk, but we pulled ourselves together. We play faster, we score goals. The very start of the second half was also bad for us, but we recovered straight away. I really liked what we were able to produce in the second half overall. We were able to exploit the qualities of Adam Gnago. We are obviously satisfied to draw against this great team, which plays well on the ball. I would have loved to win, but there will be the return match (laughs). You have to continue to work and progress to have consistency. When you want to compete with these teams, you need the entire squad at its top level, all at the same time. But it’s very good, we remain undefeated here. There are a lot of things where I am happy, even if obviously we had the window to take this victory.

On the last shot, it corresponds to what I asked during the timeout. The situation is there, it is not bad. But the peach finish is like that. There weren’t any bad choices, so it’s easier to accept. It’s a good choice, but technically he didn’t get his best shot. We also had to stay solid in the last seconds, it can go quickly. We were strong on the last defense. We want to be undefeated here. That’s what we want. Sport remains a game. There may be things that make you win or lose. Everything we have done together since the beginning shows that we are capable of competing.

I felt a good level of handball this evening. We had weak times yes, but over the long term, we were involved. There is no weak team in the championship and we will have to be good every weekend to stay at the top of the table. We’re approaching the halfway point of the season so that’s saying something. »
