Ttoo hard. The Mérignacaises came up against the rock of Metz. The reigning French champions, leader of the championship with fourteen wins and one defeat before this meeting, left no room for suspense. A gap of five goals from the 10th minute, ten units in the 23rd, Metz’s success cannot be contested. The MHB played this meeting without pressure. Maintaining strength is not a question of facing such unplayable opponents.
At least, the Mérignacaises will have had fun in a packed Jean-Dauguet room in Bordeaux, noisy in the good sense of the word and committed to their cause. A crowd bath which is always expected and not so frequent during a season. “It’s a working match. On the retreat, we were not efficient, we also conceded too many goals in large spaces. On this level it’s disappointing, we wanted to show something else but I also saw positive things from us, especially in attack,” said Phellys Kibuey, the left back of the MHB.
Déjí plié á la pause
Create surprise, desire and the competitive side of all players who always want to believe in the impossible. But the start of the match rules out this kind of scenario with the surgical Lorraines who give their all to each of their offensives. The score logically increases (3-8, 10th then 10-20, 23rd). The offensive waves from Metz are tormenting the Mérignacaises who can count on the vision and sense of purpose of Lylou Borg to avoid being let down in even greater proportions. The MHB still managed to stop the bleeding to reach the break with an identical outlay of ten goals (13-23). A gap which already prohibits any idea of a comeback against such a team.
Despite the pitfall, despite the difficulty of the task, the Mérignacaises returned to the fight as soon as the restart, even if the attempted attacks returned to them like a boomerang from Messines with almost non-existent offensive waste (15-27, 34th). Lorraine women who do not loosen their grip. The MHB then seeks the solution to stop the offensive waves against the French champions. A challenge in the face of such an oiled and flawless collective which strings together goals like pearls (17-35, 43rd).
It remains to finish well a meeting which is necessarily heavy and frustrating at the level of the scoreboard against such a rock. A match to learn in short, before another summit against Brest, 2nd in the standings, scheduled for next Wednesday, same place, same time.
