What does the next season have in store for the players of C’Chartres Basket Féminin? The question, Benoît Marty necessarily asks himself.
Even if the recovery seems to the CCBF technician, eliminated by Aulnoye in the quarter-finals of the play-offs in April, still very (too) distant: “Eight weeks of preparation, we are in the field of the unprecedented! It’s very long, but the positive point is that it will give us time to prepare well knowing that we will inherit a workforce whose players will present very disparate states of form, ”warns the one who will lead the flagship team of the CCBF (ex-ABC) for the 10th year in a row. In his mind, the studious summer of three of his players.
The Chartres know their calendar
Two will be missing this Tuesday, August 23 (Margot Bienvenu, military international, will be present), when putting on the sneakers for the first time of the season, at 6:30 p.m., at the Jean-Cochet hall. Selected in the France 3×3 team respectively for the U21 and U23, Ève Mahoutou and Emma Peytour (note: arrival from Strasbourg) will find their partners, from August 28 for the first and September 5 for the second*.
For the rest, there will be eight of them to pass the medical tests this morning, before taking part in the first training session of the 2022-2023 financial year. Among them, three of the four recruits, the backs Sophia Elenga, Oumou Diarisso and Nicole Enabosi. To which we could even add a fifth: the post office 2-3 Mariama Niang, who came in the 2021 off-season and suffered a rupture of the cruciate ligaments of the right knee from the 2nd preparation match, at Poinçonnet (Indre), September 4 .
Niang, the “5th recruit”
Unable to play any match during the past year, the player trained in Landerneau fully enjoyed the decision of her managers to renew her contract (one year): “It’s nice, but it also puts a form of pressure. Somehow, I only want to restore the trust that was given to me and show my leaders what I am capable of doing,” observes Niang, who spent fifteen weeks in rehabilitation in Cape Breton (Landes ). Before adding: “My personal case is symptomatic of the state of mind that reigns in the club. And we will have to build on it throughout the season”.
Precisely, a three-day cohesion course is scheduled, next Monday, in Bujat (Corrèze), before starting the session of preparation matches, from September 2, in Alençon (N1). Then, it’s a story that will remain to be written. The story of a season.
* Ève Mahoutou is training while Emma Peytour will compete in the 3×3 World Series in Canada in September.
