MHSC VB claimed the French SuperCup on Wednesday, November 11, by defeating Paris 3-0 in Nancy.
- The club's third major title changes squad momentum as domestic competition continues.
The straight-sets triumph delivers the third title in the history of the Hérault club. Midi Libre reported that the victory provides a major morale boost and a sense of major relief for the Montpellier squad, who entered the fixture carrying a poor run of four defeats in their previous five matches.
“This victory is truly precious. It’s a double win. The title is incredibly important. There aren’t many of them. You don’t win them often in your career, so you have to take them. And then, it’s a victory where we showed that we know how to play volleyball. This might be the benchmark match, the turning point that will allow us to prove to ourselves that we are capable of doing it,” said Loïc Le Marrec, sporting director of MHSC VB. Midi Libre.
The win in Nancy resets the competitive baseline for Montpellier following their recent dip in form.
“It’s a bit of a liberation. When you train every day under pressure, when you have external pressure, it’s difficult. So now, we can breathe. I’m really incredibly proud of the group, we played as a team and that’s what we’ve been waiting for since the beginning. I’m getting goosebumps. The youngsters rose to the occasion, they’ve been working since preseason to play matches like this. They do a really good job behind the scenes. They took responsibility,” said Corentin Phelut, libero of MHSC VB, to Midi Libre.
