After the misstep in Martigues, and yes, this year Nice doesn’t travel well, victory was imperative for Mladen Kasic’s men to avoid any crisis of confidence.
As a result, Asniรจres was a prime target and the Parisians played the game, offering a truly inconsistent performance. Three times 24 minutes were enough for the Nice volleyball players to wrap up the matter.
The Nice team did the job without brilliance but by maintaining concentration and rhythm throughout the match. An undisputed score of 3 sets to none (25-20, 25-22, 25-18), but the sets were close-fought and points were sometimes still lost too easily.
This victory was necessary, as the loss conceded in Martigues in the last match was already the third for the Azurians, who came so close to promotion last summer.
They have now temporarily moved back up to 7th place in the standings and, above all, have gained some additional confidence for the rest of the championship before a challenging away match next weekend against the 4th-placed team in Harnes, who will host Cambrai (6th) tonight.
