At the beginning of February, after the victory at Bourg en Bresse, we thought it was already spring at Elan. The rest, like Mamert, Pancrace and Servais, which raged in May, froze the ardor of the most fervent supporters. Still passes the defeat in Limoges, but that of Fos sur Mer is still not digested. However, the hook by Orléans in the Coupe de France, the basket full of a quarter-final, already makes us salivate on the revenge that the Béarnais owe us, against this same Ditch team. So decided the gods of chance, casting their spells at the headquarters of the Federation on February 18.
And now March. Except for one match, it will be the same frame as the month dedicated to Februa. 4 league matches and one Coupe de France match. So without mentioning a “month of death”, we know that the quarter-final of the Coupe de France will not be easy and that the matches against Châlon-Reims, Gravelines-Dunkerque and Le Mans, have everything, trap matches by Excellency. Especially since the victory against Portel, if it carries an accounting adjustment, has not really reassured in content.
It’s time to take stock of an “Elan-ternatif” which will have to pass continuously, if it wants to hang on to Europe and catch up with its “Fos note”, this time in the Coupe de France. It will be March 26, at the Arena Loire in Trélazé. And for all that, David Bonnemason-Carrère, the president of Elan Béarnais, answers our questions.
