Four days after Europe in Macedonia and, above all, with as much fatigue as courage, the Gardois lacked breath and lucidity to preserve their lead of two goals ten minutes from time (23-21). “There is disappointment and we are not going to put everything on the account of fatigue, underlined Franck Maurice, the Usamist coach. At some point, we need to better manage our lead in score. “
Hesham, in attack, in defense … then on crutches
This derby, Usam had already started in the best way possible in the wake of the Egyptian Hesham, everywhere during the start. In attack (3/4), in defense, then … on crutches on the bench, hit in the knee in a quarter of an hour of play (8-6, Usam).
“At that moment, inevitably, we are worried about Ahmed. But it would also have been necessary to get back into it immediately”, analyzed Benjamin Gallego.
Led to the break (13-14) by a Fenix and his Portuguese rear Martins Vieira, Nîmes knew how to react. In the goal, Paul was effective at the relay from Desbonnet and kept his formation alive. But this Saturday, the Usamists finished dead (from fatigue), with a 0-2 (25-24, 55th) and a third straight loss in the league.
