24 to 22. If in the series of statistics there are two figures to remember, here they are. The 24 goals conceded show that the new defensive system worked. The attack a little less. Suddenly, there are the numbers that we want to forget. In particular the 19 saves of the Dijon goalkeeper, Wassim Helal, including 5 on a 7-meter throw! And this boy, one of the two best goalkeepers in Proligue, had to be in a state of grace, against BHB. No luck. But let’s leave out the pluses and minuses columns. We will have to beat the leader, Ivry, on Friday evening, one way or another. And if the best defense is attack, the proteges of Daniel Deherme, will have to surpass themselves to inflict on the Ile-de-France, their second defeat of the season.
For that we can count on a whole group that will play without pressure, just with enough ambition to do better than in the first leg, where the BHB lost by a small point (31/30). And in the group in question, there is a former Cristolian, Valentin Tarrico, which has already wound up like a pendulum. 12 years of games at all levels between Créteil and Ivry bring him back to tough and extremely intense matches. Question of supremacy in Île de France!
So for him, playing Ivry brings back a lot of memories when it comes to facing what is best this season. It’s a bit like Lyon/St-Etienne in football. Let’s see how the pivot of the BHB prepares all this…
