In a few days, we should not be surprised if sanctions emanating from the LNB Disciplinary Commission rain down on the Chartres and Blois workforce, with potential suspensions. On Saturday, the outcome of the derby was extremely tense between the two teams.
After the final buzzer, Maxime Sconard already made an avoidable gesture by swinging the ball into the stands with a big kick. The young Blesois fullback was then the target of Tarekeyi Edogi and Desi Washington, who came to challenge him in a slightly too virile manner, triggering the start of a scuffle, notably with Thomas Hieu-Courtois, which fortunately was quickly annihilated.
“In the end, what happens, we are not at the circus: there are players, they are clowns”criticized the Blesois captain Jacques Alingue, obviously targeting the Washington – Edogi duo. “I have no other words to say. They won, why are they coming to take us away?! They are last, at some point you have to show humility… The season is long. Good for them, they played well but why come and mess around at the end?! There is no reason. »
“The end of the match is unacceptable on both sides”adds David Morabito, ADA coach. “It has nothing to do on a field. We lost, we shut up and go back. They, when we've only won three, we shut up and go back too. It's pathetic. » On the CCMB side, neither Moatassim Rhennam nor Florian Fortas wanted to say too much about the post-final buzzer tension. “I don’t really know what happened.”indicated the former Nanterre full-back. “Since Blois was first, they weren't going to lose in Chartres so that must have created frustration for them. There was tension because the match was decided to nothing. But it's still basketball, it's nothing too bad. »
On the Blois side, this stormy end to the match must obviously not take precedence over the real lesson of the evening: the third defeat of the season, conceded during the duel of the extremes (91-92). “We are supposed to be the leader of the championship and we play like senators”reacted Jacques Alinguein comments transcribed by La Nouvelle République. “This is really not acceptable. As the coach said in the locker room, we don't deserve to win this match because we didn't show our values in the first half. Above all, it's a match that must serve us well for the future, that's how we take it. »
