Handball: for Usam, don’t get scared at Tremblay

Friday, December 6 (8:30 p.m.), on the court of the promoted Tremblay (7th, 11 points), Usam Nîmes, still relegated (5th, 8 points) must confirm its success against Toulouse, last Saturday.  

After leaving the European Toulouse to 7 goals (36-29 victory), last Saturday at Parnasse, should Usam fear a trip to a promoted team, Tremblay ?
In times not so long ago, the question would not even have arisen, for the Green team, against a former D2 resident.

But, this season, it is in the relegation zone that Nîmes approaches this meeting against ''Tremblay who, as I told the players, is anything but a promoted team, like Saran or Dijon could be'', recalls coach David Degouy of a Parisian team led, in particular, by two former internationals: the center half Nicolas Claire and the goalkeeper Cyril Dumoulin.

More difficult than against Toulouse

If Tremblay looks like anything but a promoted team, Usam has a team that, on paper, looks like anything but a low-ranked team. And yet.

''This week, the players were smiling, while remaining mobilized and focused, notes the technician. The idea was to put the ingredients together to be able to continue against Tremblay. It will be a more difficult match than against Toulouse; away, in the suburbs of Paris, against a team that has had very good results but is not far behind us in accounting terms.''
