Yesterday, the Minots of Marseille beat the Grande-Motte Pyramide, three-time defending champion, in the National Beach Soccer final in Saint-Jean-de-Monts. Mouilleron completes the podium.
She was the big favorite but was surprised. The Grande-Motte team, winners of the last three editions of National Beach Soccer, failed to retain their title last weekend in Saint-Jean-de-Monts. It was the Minots de Marseille who won the competition trophy for the first time in their history.
The Minots hit the jackpot
Triple defending champion and six-time winner of the competition. La Grande-Motte fell from above. Les Minots de Marseille knew it: they seemed small against La Grande-Motte Pyramide. But it was ultimately they who created the surprise by going for an extension (7-7) then the victory, after a breathless and tight final (8-7). This is their first title of champion of France. “It was an intense game. We took third time by third time and we got there. I am very proud of my team”, rejoiced Jairzinho Cardoso, the co-trainer of the Marseille club at West France.
Bronze for Mouilleron
The Vendée formation of Mouilleron surprised all its opponents in this final phase. First by leaving the group stage, in particular thanks to a victory against Montpellier. Then by winning the small final for third place against Marseille Beach Team after a stunning and disputed meeting (7-6). “Incredible for us and so unexpected. Physically, it was very tough in this match. We were charred. We temporized, tried to economize. It was very hard in terms of intensity”analyzed the Mouilleron coach, Jeremy Richard. The Vendeans could compete in the Euro Winners Cup next season. Everything will depend on the number of places allocated to France. The announcement will take place next February.
