Amateur basketball – Coupe d’Occitanie: Montauban puts on a show and relaunches against Valence-Condom

A cup match is often not a real goal. Except perhaps for the Montalbanais, this Saturday evening, against a Gers team which had come to win at Fobio in the championship just a few weeks ago, pushing the MBC into a small zone of turbulence. Turbulence which has led to certain explanations of text in recent days, just to remind certain people of certain things. The match lasted only two to three quarters, with the Gers giving up the fight once they understood that they could no longer come back. They only scored thirteen small points in the second half. Opposite, the Montalbanais were solid. Quickly ahead by ten lengths (13-3), they will however be trailed at the end of the first quarter. But it will only be a flash in the pan, as long as MBC dominates its subject afterwards. “We did what we wanted. But the stakes in a cup match are not exactly the same as those in a championship match. We made this match easy when they tried to come back just after half-time. We’ve been working better for a week. The important matches are coming, starting with the arrival of Rodez, one of the leading teams, next week. to be a goal. We took this opposition as a step to get back on track. We applied what we had put on the sheet this week. the opponent gave up, it was over, and we still did the job to make the end of the match easy” noted coach Boris Lacaze.

Rodez, sacred duel in perspective

A satisfied coach, but a coach who still expects a lot from his group: “The discovery of Nationale 3 is complicated for certain players. I think we have made good recruitment. The group is doing very well, but I think that We believed that it was going to be like this. We had very good preparation matches, and we started the season in a satisfactory manner, notably by beating Réal Chalois, which was not necessarily planned. Afterwards, we took one. spanking at Stade Monois which hurts us psychologically, and it’s going in the wrong direction I’m playing the players who are good This Saturday evening, with the absences of Thomas Mobisa (knee, absent as a precaution), Ayoub Zaida (rotation of players). transferred), or Samuel Loferme (operated, and absent for one or two months), I did not rotate If the guys were not good, I would have coached with eight. Even after a very big victory, Boris Lacaze remains focused on the next match, that of Rodez, next week. Sure that the Montalbanais will certainly not leave with the favors of the prognosis. “For now, it will be a real test. We drew at home during the preparation. We must be present for the meeting.” The tone is set…
