Trailing 2-0 in Toulouse, the Sétois were able to change the situation this Saturday, November 23, thanks to a great collective effort.
It was difficult against Saint-Nazaire, too fast in Montpellier and frustrating against Saint-Nazaire. Lately, Arago has not been in its best light, but this Saturday's match in Toulouse certainly did the most good.
Accept
Not at the start, of course, with the two rounds won by the locals. “The first set was fought, not the second where we gave up”comments Luc Marquet. “It took us time to adapt, to “fiddle” with Fred Gibert to find the solution. We knew we had to be patient. »
Patience. One of the words most used by the Sète coach in recent weeks. “We talk about it a lot. We have to accept that not everything is perfect. And before dealing with our adversaries, we must focus on what we can control. There were a lot of long rallies where we agreed to play in the block or give the ball back to force them to play. »
Needed by everyone
Among the satisfactions of this weekend, Célestin Cardin once again showed great form, “effective from the start and now well into the rhythm of the competition”. Danilo Hrytsenko also emerged from the bench successfully, effective in all areas of play. And the two liberos, Martino Gauchi and Lopez, shared reception and defense. “We used everyone”continues Luc Marquet. “It’s a very good thing. When we say at the start of the season that we will need everyone, it's always good to prove it to the players. »
And it's also good to take when we have a series of matches, like this week. This Tuesday evening, the Sétois will indeed be in Saint-Jean-d'Illac (League B) for the Coupe de France. “It’s a team of mad dogs, it’s up to us to impose our game and make ourselves respected. »
