Handball - Friendly. In Pontarlier, GBDH's power surge is expected

This week, GBDH will play not one but two friendly matches at the Larmont gymnasium in Pontarlier: first on Friday against the Swiss team Wacker Thun (4:30 p.m.) and then on Saturday, depending on their first result, against the winner or loser of the Dijon-Basel match (4:30 p.m. or 7 p.m.). Unlike Gray, coach Christophe Viennet will be able to count on his left backs (Arizeux, Hubert, Naim ) and the young right winger Dorian Berland. Regarding the pivots, Baptiste Pantoli will be present on Friday and Nino Panier on Saturday. But this time, playing time will not be evenly distributed. "We will start to fine-tune things," explains the technician. "Even if playing two matches in two days will lead us, perhaps, to having to manage things a little differently. In any case, the idea is to spend a little more time on the combinations that we will find in competitive formulas."

Faced with an adversity of a higher caliber than Mohlin , the idea will be "to move up a step." Of course, victory would be welcome, but that's not what coach Viennet prioritizes. "The result is important, but it's still too early for the result to be at the expense of the manner. Content first, then the result."
