Only one victory in 15 games, on January 12 in Besançon, and that’s it. This is the meager balance sheet of Fleury Loiret Handball in female D1 for the 2021/2022 season, which conceded this Wednesday against Bourg-de-Péagethird (23-26) sa 14th defeat of the season. However, the hour is not yet for fatality within the Panthers. A team allows the Loire Valley clubs to hope: Those-on-Belle. Second to last, the Deux-Séviennes have only one more victory on the clock.
Coach Christophe Cassan supported by his management
Fleury’s coach judges the situation “disturbing“but don’t give up.”Believe that when you chain ten defeats, you do not sleep at night. But the players work. We have many things to reproach them for their lack of consistency, for a physical health which must be really improved for some. You can’t change things overnight. We need to be focused on this objective, maintenance, which will be difficult to achieve. But I am convinced that it will go through work and a lot of solidarity“, Explain Christopher Cassan.
In this commando operation, the coach can count on the support of his president Sabine Guillien : “There is this theory when the results are not good to say ‘We will fire the coaches and it will be better’. I don’t follow that policy. There is no fatality. We stay at work. The girls remain at work in the field. The coaches stay at work. We work. The objective remains the same. We’ll talk about it at the end of the season, in June.”
Chance of the calendar. the Fleury Loiret Handball and Those on Bellesthe two bad students in the ranking for this 2021/2022 season, will meet on the 26th and final day of the championshipin May.
How to explain the collapse?

So how do we explain this collapse on the side of Fleury Loiret Handball?
“We don’t live beyond our means and our contracts are clear and defined with the players. We pay to the decimal point what we owe them. If tomorrow, and this is a call I’m making, you find me partners or a buyer who puts a ticket, well, I’ll make you with the most beautiful coach of the teams. Today, we live with the means we are given, but we work, we work. We are still waiting for the position of the metropolis on professional sport in Orleans“, says Sabine Guillien.
