After the defeat last Friday in the Loiret, the Limoges CSP coach was very upset after his players. Not enough involved in defense and not enough collective in attack according to Massimo Cancellieri. So necessarily, they felt him spend this week in training. “We foiled in Orleans. We had a bad game. Of course, at the start of the week, we did a lot of training with good sessions. It is something that can make us react. We will try to show it against Monaco, to regain a little our defensive values that we had unfortunately lost a little in Orléans“explains leader Ludovic Beyhurst.
Defend lead to exist on the Rock
It is certain that we will have to defend the lead to exist against the Monegasque armada this Sunday (5 p.m.) at the end of the 12th day of the French Elite basketball championship. Especially against the very big star of this team, the leader Mike James. “It’s exciting to play teams like Monaco with big players and 1 very big player. It’s a great challenge for us. But it’s really not just him“warns the pocket leader of the Limoges CSP. Even if the French and former Limougeauds Léo Westermann and Jerry Boutsiele are forfeited. Monaco where the coach changed this week. Zvezdan Mitrović has been replaced by Saša Obradović.
Approach it in a positive way and try to make a hit
His players, who remain on a victory Wednesday in Kaunas then a defeat Friday at home against Saint Petersburg in the Euroleague, will inevitably have keen to bounce back in the championship. The Hugo Invernizzi interior knows what to expect: “they are intense. They have talent in all positions. They have a very athletic team. When they were a little cooler at the start of the year, they had good cohesion and they scared a lot of teams. We know it’s going to be a very intense match. They have a new coach who is even more intense I think Mitrović. It’s going to be a very tough game. We will approach it in a positive way and try to make a move“.
