“There is always a risk that players have not worked well, or have gained weight, and This is not the case“, greeted the 54-year-old technician. On the program: physical tests, races, a little play with the ball, and sheathing !
New forces present
The Lorraine staff could also see recruits at work at the dawn of this season in Betclic Elite. The six new players were all present with the exception of Luke Fischer, the latest recruit to date. “I’m a little apprehensive about the season, but I know I’m going to do my best“, shares Clément Frisch, a 20-year-old player on loan from the SIG, the Strasbourg club.
The Alsatian knows that he is expected by a whole city like all of his teammates. More than 1000 people have already subscribed, enough to delight Antony Labanca, the back of the SLUC: “It’s great, we can’t wait to see them, to hear them! We can’t wait for this first game!“
Seven friendlies in August and September
The first official game in Betclic Elite will be at home against CSP Limoges on September 24, a few days before the reception of Monaco, the vice-champion of France at the Palais des Sports in Gentilly. Before that, the Cougars will have seven preparation matches, the first in Vittel on August 23 against Dijon.
