Cherbourg confirms its laborious start to the season. Opposed in Besançon this Friday, September 30 in their fallback room in Equeurdreville, the Mauves fell, 30-35. A fairly logical defeat which punishes too many blunders in all areas of the game.
“We started well, then we lost the ball after losing the ball from the 15th minute, let go, annoyed, the Spanish leader Rodrigo Perez Arce at the end of the meeting. In the second half, we have our chance. We didn’t score the right goal and we lost.”
Quite inexplicably, Cherbourg lost track after their good start. “I don’t know how many unmissable chances we scored against the goalkeeper”, slipped coach Eduard Fernandez Roura. Stops by the Besançon doorman, off-target shots, posts and loss of ball, everything went there. Besançon took the lead and ended up flying (From 14-11 to 17-11 in three big minutes, 22nd-25th minute). A last rough ball loss allowed the visitors to reach the break at +6 (20-14).
The second act has however begun a Manchoise reassemblyseeing the Mauves come back on the heels of Besançon suddenly less sovereign.
But it is to believe that the JSC did not want a second success in its room Jean Jaurès, in spite of its start. Full-back Andry Goujon Bellevue made a frustrating observation:
We came back with a knife between our teeth in the second half. We had some really interesting phases of play. Unfortunately, we were unable to equalise. We miss shots, I miss easy shots. It’s also how you kill the game.
Returning from the devil Vauvert, Cherbourg missed the last step, like this 28-28 ball diverted by the Doubiste goalkeeper in the 53rd. The beginning of the end. Besançon feasted on the counterattack and extinguished the assistance, to which the coach had a thought : “Tonight, the team did not live up to its public”. Neither of the event and, more generally, not up to the status of a team that came close to rising last season. With three losses in four games, here is Cherbourg, the first non-relegation in the championship.
