By receiving Dunkirk, this Thursday evening in Gentilly, Grand Nancy Métropole Handball had the possibility in the event of victory, to continue to maintain the flame of maintenance in Starligue. Unfortunately, the Northerners, also concerned about their survival, did not miss the opportunity and won, 27-31. A logical setback for Nancyians who are too inconstant but also mentally and physically worn out, according to coach Benjamin Braux:
It’s really a difficult season, every week our preparation is disturbed by contrary facts. How do you expect us to last in a match. Despite this, the team does what it can and does not give up.
The people of Nancy are not lacking in willpower, but they are running out of fuel. Against Dunkirk, their start to the match was more than interesting, before gradually fading away and letting the opponent take the initiative in the game and on the scoreboard:
We manage to do what we want, before falling back into our faults. We are not effective enough in shooting, although the possibilities we have. We lack the lucidity to widen the gap when we are in front of the score.
Experience, talent in certain positions, this essential combination at the highest level, Grand Nancy Métropole Handball does not have it. Add to that, the success factor and all too often contrary refereeing decisions, that’s why today, the GNHB is in trouble.
After having grilled a new cartridge against Dunkirk, the GNMHB, the red lantern, no longer has a choice, it must achieve during the last six days to come, a high-flying course and cling to the hope of seeing that the he gap of five points, with the first relegated, Saran, is still filling.
