Chambéry handball players start the season with the European Cup this Saturday at Le Phare

Chambéry begins the season with the EHF European Cup and a stakes match. First eliminatory round this Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Lighthouse. Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc welcomes the Romanian team from Constanta. The return match will be played in Romania next Saturday.
If the Savoyards qualify, they will have to play a second preliminary round before entering the group stages of the EHF European Cup.

Chambéry stronger…on paper

If Chambéry is given favorites, you must always be wary of these cutthroat matches. : “We know that cup matches are always a world apart and that levels everyone’s performance a little bit”, according to Savoyard coach Erick Mathé. He estimates that : “Constanta has a lot more experience than us in the European Cup. It’s up to us to compensate with the quality of the group which has been stable for a while and which is coming out of a very good season, so we hope to surf on this dynamic there. “. For this new season the workforce is almost the same since Team Chambé has recruited only two players: the Croatian international goalkeeper Filip Ivic and the Spanish pivot (also international) Iñaki Pecina.

Performing well from the first game

With this preliminary round of the EHF European Cup, Chambéry has no room for error and must perform well this Saturday evening. Erick Mathe “find it pretty good” , for the Chambéry coach, starting with a cup rather than the championship, as usual, makes it possible to break the routine. For him, “When we start with the championship we know 80% of the teams, there the unknown part is much more important. And the direct elimination back and forth brings another flavor”.
