Post-match

21 h 30. There was no photo: Tours Volley-Ball dominated Narbonne in all sectors of the game to achieve a clean and flawless victory. A second success after which he was chasing since the one won during the 3^e day facing Plessis-Robinson.

21 h 27. The match MVP trophy is awarded to… Antoine Pothron! The TVB receiver-attacker scored 12 points. Egleskalns scored 14, and Gergye 10.

Third set

25-18. Narbonne saves three match points before breaking down, Schouten’s serve ending out of bounds… Tours finally secures its second victory of the season! And with style!

22-15. Migge keeps the Centurions alive a little longer… But victory will not escape the Tourangeaux.

19-12. Entry of Sclater, who is therefore playing his first minutes of the season. And that’s well worth an ace from Pothron! (20-12)

16-10. Pothron gives Tours six steps ahead.

12-9. Oh, Coric’s point! The Touraine captain allows his team to open up a first gap. Redwitz, the Narbonne coach, immediately calls a timeout.

8-7. Touré, with a full center attack, prevents Tours from breaking away.

3-3. This same Schouten sends his service outside the limits of the field. The Touraine Gergye imitates him in stride (3-4)… Then it is Zanotti’s turn to fail on serve (4-4).

1-2. Schouten, the sharp visitor, carries Narbonne at the start of the round.

Second set

25-13. The TVB does not tremble and concludes with its first set point.

18-9. Narbonne conceded a 6-0, before Gergye sent his serve into the net.

13-8. Migge’s ace, whose entry does a lot of good, changes nothing, since Narbonne is punished in the wake of a lightning attack from Aracaju.

10-6. While Marshman shines on the TVB side, Migge tries to reduce the score for Narbonne.

5-1. Timeout set by Rafael Redwitz. The Narbonnais coach rotates his squad in search of a solution to counter Tours.

4-1. The TVB seems to have started again on the same basis while Egleskalns delights the Grenon public.

Premier set

Offensive efficiency is on the Tourangeaux side, with 67% attack success, compared to 38% for Narbonne. Overall, Tours dominates in all areas of play, with four blocks (one for Narbonne) and two aces (compared to none).

25-15. And this set ends with an ace from Gergye! Tours takes the lead after a controlled first act.

21-11. It is enough to write that the service is not at the party for Antoine Pothron to slam an ace!

18-11. Clearly, the service is not great during these last minutes. Schouten’s also ended up in the net, Aracaju and Coric’s landed outside the field. In the meantime, TVB is still in the lead.

15-8. The net attracts balloons! Egleskalns sends his serve into the net, just like Patte, before Gergye imitates them!

11-6. Intractable in the block, Aracaju undermines the visiting defense and the TVB flies away!

6-4. On two Narbonne errors, the TVB takes two steps ahead.

2-3. Gergye’s serve ends in the net, even though he had just scored the previous point. But Egleskalns puts the two teams back on level terms (3-3).

It’s (almost) gone! Note that receiver-attacker Roland Gergye starts for the first time this season with TVB.

Pre-match

19 h 55. The warm-up is over, time for the team presentations!

19 h 50. Next stop, Switzerland! After this championship match, the Tourangeaux will begin their European adventure, with the round of 16 first leg of the CEV Cup, next Wednesday on the Schönenwerd field. The return match will take place in Grenon on November 20.

19 h 45. Excellent news from TVB! His point guard Ryan Sclater is warming up. The 30-year-old Canadian has been unavailable since the start of the season due to a knee injury.

19 h 40. From a strictly accounting point of view, Narbonne is barely better off than Tours, the Centurions having one more victory (i.e. two successes in total). However, their dynamic is very different: after three consecutive losses, they signed a first victory against Toulouse (3-2) before coming close to passing by two in Saint-Nazaire (3-2) then pocketing a convincing success against Montpellier (3-0).

“We started the season with three defeats, but showing that we had potential. We have enriched ourselves from this and, now, we have two victories,” thus underlines Tanguy Dijoud, the Narbonnais center, who also believes that “Tours is takeable at the moment”.

19 h 35. This match is certainly not a top-of-the-table match, but it is oh so crucial for Tours. The locals are in fact vegetating in the bottom of the ranking, with five defeats on the clock for only one victory. Which was won against Plessis-Robinson, the current bottom of the championship.

Above all, the Tourangeaux want to forget their poor performance last week in Cannes, where they lost 3-0. It is particularly in the behavior that they will be keen to redeem themselves. “We must have a warrior attitude, said Marcelo Fronckowiak, the TVB coach, on the eve of the match. We play at home, we know that we will be expected, under pressure. We are not happy with what is happening. Before we talk about volleyball, we have to talk about behavior and I hope everyone will fight. »

19 h 30. Good evening and welcome to this live! This Saturday, November 9, the Tours Volleyball players (12^es) receive the Centurions of Narbonne (11^es), two teams which follow each other in the ranking but experience different dynamics. Kick-off at 8 p.m.!
