Heavily beaten at Le Cannet, the Béziers Angels must overcome their lack of consistency

There are days after matches that hurt your head, and the one at Cannet this weekend is unfortunately one of them, for the Béziers group. The Angels were, on Saturday evening, dominated head and shoulders throughout the match, in a match that the Béziers coach had nevertheless described as a trap: “I imagine that the fact that Le Cannet sent Popova back to Moscow was an electric shock for their collective. They showed a lot of aggressiveness and motivation, perhaps we were surprised. The Varoises, with a strong potential, woke up a little bit and we missed it.”

“We have to stabilize our game”

A big blow to morale for Béziers, but also a small halt in the progress of this new 2024-2025 squad. This is what the coach regrets: “I'm very disappointed, because we made a bit of the same mistakes we made a month ago. With big air gaps, where we took four consecutive points in a few minutes. no performance without consistency We have to stabilize our game. Against Le Cannet, we took a small step backwards in our progress, and that's what bothers me.

To avoid playing in sequence, the Béziers coach will therefore have to maintain strong mobilization and activate the right levers. “It will require technical progression and a more intense and more constant level of concentration. It's not something immediate or easy, it requires significant determination. I think the group wants to do well, but the shower was cold on Saturday.”

“We will have to react very strongly next Saturday”

On the program for the Volleyball players this week, a debriefing very early Monday morning, then a little more busy training on the field. “We missed out on our match, it caused a lot of disappointment, repeats Frédéric Havas. We will have to react very strongly next Saturday. Even if Nantes are first, I don't think they are a team out of our reach. It’s up to us to do the right thing.”

In the ranking, the Biterroises remain 10^ebut see the teams at the top of the table moving a little further away. Next Saturday, the Angels will return to their home arena to host Nantes. Neptunes, leaders, who have had a perfect start to the season with 7 victories in 7 matches. But every series has an end, let's hope it's in Béziers this weekend.
