Bourges Basket caused a sensation again! After a great victory with a 10-point lead in the first game of the French championship final, the Berruyères did even better in the second game. On Tuesday evening, they won 78-62 against a combative Lyon ASVEL team until half-time then overtaken by the ardor of Tango. Bourges must still win a match to become champion of France for the fifteenth time in its history.
An exceptional public to wear the Bourges Basket!
Once again, Bourges was carried by an extraordinary public. The match was sold out. And it was felt in the important moments. “It’s magic, I love seeing it!”exclaims captain Elodie Godin, not tired as she finishes her fifth season with the Berruyer jersey. “We want to make the extra little effort to give them a show”, she explains. Coach Olivier Lafargue is also under the spell. “When we see this enthusiasm, we want to use this energy well. It must not become a burden and we manage to do it perfectly”, he adds. Bourges has not lost a single home game since the start of the season.
The Berruyères will now not be able to count on their public during the third match on Saturday (and the fourth match in the event of defeat). So you have to stay focused. “We haven’t won anything yet. We haven’t won the Cup. So we have to analyze what we have done well and what we can improve, we have to recover and stay focused”insists Olivier Lafargue.
