Before match
18 h 55 : Affected in the psoas and already out of Montpellier, Croatian receiver-attacker Tibo Hanzic will not play this evening against Chaumont either. However, he should be fit on December 27 for the visit of Tours to the Arena.
18 h 45 : Opposite, Chaumont has lined up five consecutive victories between the 7e and the 11e daytime. This sure value of French volleyball suffered a setback last weekend at home against Nice (1-3) carried by an almost unplayable Simon Hirsch (36 points; 26 winning attacks at 57% efficiency, 6 winning counters, 4 aces). CVB 52 reacted well by returning to victory on Tuesday at home against Toulouse (3-1), with a good Pierre Toledo (22 points; 20 winning attacks at 65% efficiency, 1 winning counter, 1 ace). The best match of the sharp season.
In addition to Toledo, Silvano Prandi's players can also rely on Joe Worsley, best passer last season in MSL, receiver-attackers Niko Suihkonen and Mathis Henno, voted best young player last season. He is a former teammate of Poitevins Franco Massimino and Simon Magnin at Nantes-Rezé. Libero Théo Durand, for his part, played in Poitiers during the 2022-2023 season.
18 h 40 : Alterna Stade Poitevin is expected to round the corner. Brett Walsh, the captain, knows it. “We want and we must be at our best level, especially after this defeat in Montpellier. »
18 h 35 : After four consecutive victories, Alterna Stade Poitevin fell heavily on Tuesday in Montpellier (3-0). The performance of the Stadistes did not please either the coach or the manager. “Our side-out quality was low and our blocking was faulty. Everyone must do better”regretted Dan Lewis in our columns on Saturday. “It’s our worst game of the season. Losing to Montpellier when this team plays like that doesn't bother me. But the state of mind is a problem for me. I regret the lack of rebellion. The hard times are the most rewarding. That’s where we see men, what’s in their guts”added Cédric Enard.
18 h 30 : Good evening and welcome to this live. The Lawson-Body room hosts this Saturday, December 14 the meeting between the Alterna Stade Poitevin Volley-Ball and Chaumont on behalf of the 14e MSL day.
This is Earvin Ngapeth's last match in the “temple of volleyball”. The double Olympic champion will play a final match under the colors of Alterna Stade Poitevin Volley-Ball on December 27 at the Futuroscope Arena before flying to Turkey, at Fenerbahçe.
