Deprived of five players, however, they had to be content to limit the damage for as long as possible before breaking down physically and mentally in the last five minutes (21-26). Any chance of qualifying in Greece next week has thus evaporated.
The lessons of this match can therefore be learned elsewhere. In addition to the excellent performance of the two goalkeepers, we will note that Regnier is increasingly asserting himself as one of the bosses of the team. Even in a place that is not his, he takes responsibility and commits, which is good for a team whose main concern in the past was the lack of percussion.
On the left, the young Kieffer is gaining momentum every week while two youngsters, Tubée and De Novellis, have demonstrated that they have potential for the future.
Thomas Cauwenberghs, who had clearly chosen not to prioritize the result at all costs, therefore said he was satisfied. But this match also demonstrated that in terms of internal structures, Visé must evolve. Otherwise, the frustrations caused by certain difficult situations, such as Bello’s injury announced at the last minute, could undermine the beautiful homogeneity which has led to the club’s recent successes.
It is therefore necessary for everyone to bite the bullet and stand together in the face of adversity. Because, starting this Wednesday (8:15 p.m.), there is an important match in the Super Handball League against the Geleen Lions.
From a medical point of view, Nguema and Hadzic could return while Vancosen hopes to be present on October 30 against Bocholt. Destexhe will not return before February.
This is why Visé also transferred a Luxembourg pivot of Montenegrin origin, Haris Hodzic. A beautiful 22-year-old baby (1.95 m, 100 kg) who played for Red Boys Differdange but must nevertheless wait for the international transfer visa issued by the Luxembourg federation.
HC Visé BM: Plessers (30′), Delatte (60′), Maes, Regnier 6, Boyon 2, Massat, Bourget 6, Kieffer 3, Tubée 2, Devisch, Brixhe 1, De Novellis 1.
Intermediate: 4-6, 8-11, 10-13, 13-18, 18-23, 21-26.
