And this little trip to Bruges, in Gironde, for the first edition of the “Challenge Elite 33”, kept its promises. Valentin Doudeau, center half and vice-captain, who has just extended his contract for 2 more years, this January 18, testifies to it. Even if on the side of the BHB, we will keep more in mind the performance against the Fenix Toulouse Handball, than that facing the host and organizer, Bordeaux Bruges Lormont Handball, who should go up to the Proligue next season.
Defense, combat, efficiency and spectacle. These are the ingredients that Valentin Doudeau and his playmates must understand even more before the recovery and unite at all times. But for that you have to work on cohesion and tactics.
This “block”, at work for 8 months, designed by coach Daniel Deherme, progresses with each of its outings. With the arrival of 7 new players, setting up new game and/or operating modes, adjustments take time. But everyone is sure of one thing, the Billère Handball Pau Pyrénées, 2021/2022, entered another dimension.
Which delighted President Laffitte and compelled him at the same time. However if boys like Valentin Doudeau, Jérémy Vergely, the coach in person, and all those who will follow in the days to come, choose to stay in Béarn, it’s not just for the garbure or the beautiful presidential eyes. This idea of building long-term, “on and off” ground, what coach Daniel Deherme wears, and all the governance of the club with him, hits home with many players. Valentin Doudeau, explains why, with already in mind, the arrival of Cherbourg, the second of Proligue!
