The opportunity to get to know one of the players better than the word carnival should not leave indifferent. Alexis Plomteux has indeed arrived this season, from Liévin (N2) in Pas-de-Calais, a region where this festival is a great tradition.
Alexis Plomteux, “A. P.” or even “Reach the Pantheon”, a reference to this dear Coupe des Landes which, each year, stirs up passions, transcends players and spectators. “We know that we can count on our supporters for the semi-final, we will see how far it will take us, I hope to live a great adventure with the teammates and the supporters,” underlines the player from Marne.
“A strong identity”
But basketball is not the only reason for his expatriation on our hillsides: “I arrived in the South-West with the aim of enjoying this beautiful region, because I often came on vacation to the coast. This year, I am discovering Chalosse, a very beautiful region, with a strong rural, agricultural identity. The adaptation was easy because I grew up in this environment, on a farm in the Marne. Mutual help, sharing, conviviality, these are values that are too often lost in the rural world but that the Chalossais continue to cultivate. »
His activity as an osteopath and the practice of basketball make Alexis a balanced boy, well in his head and who shares his professional knowledge with his teammates, who are very demanding. “The CLB is a club that brings people together, an opportunity to come together and party. I’m having a lot of fun this year because I feel good at this club, which welcomes me with open arms. I want to thank them for that. I like the values of the Landes style: speed, madness, energy on the ceiling every weekend. We feel a real identity in our matches, because most of the guys come from here. »
With his outside perspective, he carries out a lucid analysis of the Luycontins season: “It is not perfect, but not far off, he believes. For a club the size of the CLB, I would even say that it is very well managed on their part to succeed in being part of the top of the table for several years now. So let’s continue to appreciate each victory as it should rather than frustrate ourselves on the few failures we have gone through. »
