The season really started last Friday for Florian Thibedore against the Federal Center. So far, he had missed the start of the N1 championship due to a muscle injury. From the way he counts the missed matches, we immediately realize that the time seemed long to him. Very long.
“I missed 11 matches, confirms the back of Caen Basket Calvados. I’ve been on the side for two months. I was chomping at the bit. It was a nightmare. “
The best scorer of last season of Camp Basket Calvados readily admits that patience is not always his strong point. At 31, Florian Thibaudeau has already suffered injuries, but never to the point of being absent for two months from the prosecution in high season.
“Playing basketball is our job and it’s also our passion. It takes a long time to do nothing during the day, just come and sit and watch our friends train. ‘We like it. It took me two months to do other things besides basketball. “
It’s a long time to do nothing during the day, just come and sit and watch the friends work out.
This other occupation is training for the follow-up to be given to his career. For his first match last Friday against the Federal Center, Florian Thibedore scored 13 points in 21 minutes and signed the second best evaluation of his team. But the rear of the CBC is aware that there is still a long way to go.
“I’m already trying to get back in the saddle and get back physically well. After that, the coach will make his decisions. Obviously, I have to show that I can play. I can’t arrive like this after two months without to have, in quotation marks nothing done and to play for 30 – 35 minutes.
I did the preseason. There are old ones from last year and even new ones that I had already played with. So I already have automatisms with the team even if they are not well licked. “
The international break after next Friday’s match against Mulhouse will give it time to blend back into the Calvados basketball collective and make up for lost time.
