Keep moving forward, despite regrets and disappointment. This is the credo of the staff and players of Chambéry Savoie Mont-Blanc Handball, four days after their defeat in Hungary against Féjer BAL Veszprem 31 to 25
. This return match of the second qualifying round definitively deprived them of the European Cup, since the Savoyard club were eliminated before they could even join the group stages. Team Chambé is now focusing on the championship, with the fifth day of Starligue and the reception of Aix-en-Provence this Saturday evening at the Lighthouse at 9 p.m.
“When it stops, everything collapses”
“This elimination is a big disappointment that left a bitter taste“said Érick Mathé, the yellow and black coach, at a press conference.I think that’s one of the biggest disappointments this club has had. It’s a bit of the problem with the cruel European Cup, you put in a lot of sweat, energy and joy to qualify and when it stops, everything collapses because there’s no there is no trial run, no catch-up session. We come to die just before this group stage, so it marks and it will remain in our flesh.“
A victory against Aix-en-Provence to bounce back
“Now we have to think about the championship. We have the chance to play a few days later so it allows us to focus on something else right away, not to ruminate“, continues the coach. “We’ve had a good run in the league over these first four days, so it’s up to us to capitalize, to confirm on the reception of Aix. They will play the group stages of the European Cup and have the same number of points as us. He is an opponent who is always very tough to play. We trained with a lot of energy and determination, now we have to turn that into a positive, and the positive would be a victory against Aix.’
