Luc Marquet’s men host Tourcoing this Sunday, October 6 at 5 p.m. at the Palais des Sports in Béziers. It’s time for a special and highly anticipated season.
The preparation is behind them, it is time for the Sète volleyball players to make their entry into the Marmara SpikeLigue. And for their first home match, they will play this Sunday in Béziers. “We trained there on Tuesday, to get our bearings, and we will do it again this Saturday”declares Luc Marquet. “We were given a royal welcome, I think there is a real expectation to also see a pro men’s team. Between the quality of the facilities and that of the group, it should be fine. In any case, we did a lot of training, well done, with opposition, and the players reacted well. »
Ambitious goal
This is good news, because what awaits the Arago is far from being a cakewalk. Tourcoing, who are coming off a great victory against Chaumont, are clearly aiming for a final this season. The Sétois are aiming for the top 4 at mid-season. “The objective is ambitious, it’s a bit up to the players”continues the Arago coach. “This allows us to erase all the contingencies of this season. We have developed the offensive side, we can also be very good at serving. From what I saw from the first day, there were some surprising results. We’ll know after four games, but I think there’s room to do more than just exist this season. »
Seduction operation
It is indeed possible, beyond the results, that this team will appeal. “We have two players, Gelinski and De Leon, who have the “grinta”. Shadow players like the two Canadians. And Maxi Gauna who has a smile and is gaining a lot of thickness this year. With Cardin back at his best, there is temperance and character. And we produce games, without being locked into a classic pattern. With the staff, this is exactly what we want to find against Tourcoing. If we have all that on the pitch, we will have a good match. »
All that’s left to do is. Hoping that the public will follow, despite the kilometers. “There is work and it plays a role”concludes Luc Marquet. “It’s a real pleasure to accompany them. » A pleasure to share, therefore.
