We had to start again after two consecutive defeats for Chambéry, it is done this Thursday evening against Istres with a great victory (34-27) at the end a more than convincing match for Érick Mathé’s men. The Yellow and Black people put their hearts into it in front of more than 1,500 people at the Lighthouse.
The Chambériens were able to count on a more than solid guard, Nikola Portner, author of fifteen judgments. He literally disgusted the Istreans, he who will leave Savoy at the end of the season. Benjamin Richert and Alexandre Tritta finished top scorers of this meeting with eight goals. Chambéry is 5th before the results of the other matches of this seventh day of Starligue.
Anger in the field
“Respond present in duels, be aggressive and give nothing to the opponent” Coach Erick Mathé’s instructions were followed to the letter this evening. Istres didn’t really exist, apart from a few flashes of genius from pivot Andrea Parisini and his six goals. Him, showed himself completely, Benjamin Richert achieved a full match to afford eight goals, obviously very satisfied with Team Chambé: “I think tonight we had very few weak times, but we managed them well and the defense really had an impact, like Nico (Nikola Portner) tonight, again monstrous. we have to build on that. We really have to be able to play fast on an attack and mount balls to score more easily. What makes us feel good? I don’t know, surely the fact of being aggressive in defense and consistent over 60 minutes. “
Already turned towards Dunkirk
If tonight the Yellow and Black will benefit from the victory, the Swiss keeper Nikola Portner is already turned towards Dunkirk and above all does not want to relive the previous disappointments, like the defeat two weeks ago against Chartres: “I’m going to say it’s good, but I don’t want us to go into this thing, like, it’s going well, great and presto, we take a hit on the head as we took against Chartres, like last year against Tremblay. The match was good. Now you have to erase it. Everything starts again from zero. Already, from tomorrow, because Dunkirk is a team which defends very well, which plays with heart and they will come here to take points, it is up to us to really put all the ingredients to be able to keep the two points here in Chambéry. “
Next match for Team Chambé against Dunkirk next Thursday at 8:15 p.m., still at the Phare de Chambéry to consolidate a good place before the truce.
