The pre-match
7:55 p.m. H-5 mins! The pressure builds in the room, full as expected (around 1,500 spectators), as the two teams are presented.
7:50 p.m. The Tourangeaux will notably face a Martian, or almost! Titouan Hallé (the Saint-Nazaire receiver-attacker) divides his time between volleyball and his thesis on the planet Mars: “I have always loved space, the solar system…”
His portrait can be found here.
7:45 p.m. A new trophy awaits the winner of the championship this season. A reference to the Japanese animated series… Jeanne et Serge.
“It’s an allegory of the impact during a volleyball match, can we read on the website of the National Volleyball League. Like the images we were able to enjoy in front of Jeanne and Serge, we were inspired by these famous spikes, sent like cannonballs across the field. »
It will be awarded to the winner on Sunday evening, at the Salle Grenon in Tours, after the return match.
7:40 p.m. This final – which is creating a lot of excitement – will be played in Saint-Nazaire this Wednesday then in Tours on Sunday April 28 in front of packed rooms.
“What is happening in Saint-Nazaire, in the club, for volleyball fans in this region, it is madness. A madness which will be present in their small room on Wednesday where the atmosphere will put us under pressure”, warns Marcelo Fronckowiak, the TVB coach in particular.
Tours supporters are obviously present in Saint-Nazaire!
