One could hope that the people of Nice would take advantage of the Azur derby to create a surprise and inject some energy into an increasingly concerning standing.
Unfortunately, this was not the case, and the locals, in “their” Palmeira hall, let the victory slip away, which went to the rivals of the Croisette club who were in good form ahead of the final phase of the season.
Result: one set (25-16), the first, for the young azur players of President Griguet. But after this feat, there was a slow and inexorable decline, much to the delight of their opponents, who ultimately won three successive sets and the match with a final score of 3-1.
Now, the people of Nice will need to double their efforts to attain the essential victories necessary to secure their place in Ligue 1.
With four games left until the end of the championship and a four-point deficit from their direct opponents in Toulouse, the prospects do not look simple at all.
However, as we know well, in sports, nothing is ever over until the end.
Result: Cannes-Nice 3-1 (16-25; 25-21; 25-14; 25-18)
