Not always readable, the Espoirs championship remains a reference for the U20 teams of professional Ligue Féminine clubs and this Saturday’s match (5:15 p.m.) against Roche Vendée, although unbalanced on paper, is taken very seriously by Vincent Joly , the director of the Basket Landes training center.
Strong against Asvel (56-45) on the first and only day of this atypical championship, Mariama N’Diaye’s partners will travel to Vendée with the desire to win and pursue the objective set by the leaders at the start of the season: the Final 4 Espoirs. And from experience, the Landes coach knows that all matches (and especially all victories) count in this type of competition.
Mistrust
In the same group as Bourges and Tarbes, distrust is required, especially since with an insane schedule for two weeks, the U20 squad is very often reshuffled. Defeated last Saturday at the leader Lamboisières (63-62), the Espoirs are aiming for a sixth victory in Women’s National 2 to consolidate their place in their second place against a Roche Vendée team in difficulty at the start of the season (12th and last with six defeats in NF2 and beaten by Bourges in Espoirs).
