Volleyball (Mens Ligue B). Saint-Jean

The group remains motivated

So much so that finding Fréjus in 7th place today with a deficit of 23 points behind the leader from Royan remains a real disappointment. It means that Foncarnier and his teammates have little left to play for at the end of the season. The recent loss to Royan (3-0) where they quickly lost control is not a surprise. However, it would be presumptuous to think that the trip of Abeille Girondine to Var will be a real walkover.

Especially since Romain Sellier’s troops showed signs of fatigue to overcome Reims (3-1) last Saturday. Mental fatigue due to this extended season (30 matchdays) and the absence of playoffs that boost all teams. Nevertheless, the motivation remains intact according to the coach: “Despite the end of the season approaching, the group remains motivated. For these players who are mostly at the beginning of their career, the goal is to finish as high as possible (3rd or 4th place) for their first year in Ligue B, which would bode well for their individual future.”

Especially as the transfer window period, which affects all teams, at least those with nothing more to gain in terms of sports, is not very favorable for the full development of a group. But with six matchdays left, Illacais can hope to catch the podium and overtake Saint-Quentin at the last moment. Provided they win the last three matches at home (France Avenir, Chalon, Cambrai) and win at least once away (Fréjus, Martigues, Nancy). Provided also that Saint-Quentin, who has one more match, makes a mistake in their last five matches.
