The player is exceptional, the man a real star and when he steps on the floor, all eyes are on him.
“A rock star”
This evening, the Palais des Victoires is likely to be well stocked to welcome “Pepette”, In any case, this is the wish of the general manager of AS Cannes, Pierre Pujol: “The French don't realize that we have a double Olympic champion! He's a player who changed his sport who invented gestures. He's innovative and lasts over time, he's a rock star! “
The Varois, son of Eric Ngapeth, former coach and player of Cannes, sometimes, often, transforms volleyball into art.
“He is one of the greatest French sportsmen adds Pujol. You have to come see it to enjoy it. We are lucky to welcome a legend! He likes big rooms, the electric atmosphere, it's going to be a great match tonight.”
The largest squad in League A
On the Dragons side, the players must prepare for high-intensity exchanges and will have to ignore the aura of Ngapeth to take the match head on and, why not, repeat the Nice match (3- 0) from a few weeks ago.
“Poitiers is a team that takes a lot of risks and makes a lot of mistakes while we take fewer risks and make fewer mistakes… There is everything to make it a great match.”
Besides Ngapeth, the Alterna SPVB has in its squad other cracks or future cracks like the Serbian Dusan Nikolic (best scorer 139 pts and best server of the club 11 aces per match), “This is the sharp future of Serbia, the future star of tomorrow. This is a great danger for us.” The attacker-receiver, Thomas Pujol (no relation), 19 years old, U19 world champion, “This is the future for the French team.”
Or the Argentinian libero, Franco Massimino who is quite simply, “the best in his position in our championship”concludes Pierre Pujol.
