Les Pitchounettes were honored at the medal ceremony of the 2011 Sport Victories for their title as French champions of the 2nd Division from last season.
Lydie Verrucchi (team manager): “Indeed, last night we were rewarded for the title of French champions from last season and it brings back very good memories…
Nevertheless, this year, even if we are not on track for a new title, our objective is just as ‘demanding’ because staying up is not yet assured…
We have moved up in the standings thanks to 2 consecutive victories against rivals who ‘massacred’ us in the first leg.”
This revenge is good for morale and allows us to approach the rest of the championship with more serenity even though nothing is settled yet…
On Sunday, February 20, we will face our direct opponent for staying up, which is Nanterre.
It’s a team that’s eagerly waiting for us and even though they are behind us in the standings, they will do everything to beat us.
This year a new group is being built because defeat still builds bonds, and an equally beautiful adventure is taking shape. Less honorable but just as beautiful.”
