The Court of appeal of Montpellier yesterday lifted judicial review of handball put players under investigation for ‘scam’ in the case of suspicion of fake match on 12 may at Cesson – Montpellier, opening the door to sanctions up to and including termination of employment. In a double stop, the Court has swept through judicial review, cancelling the prohibition of the mis en cause to get in touch with each other and with the club (players, staff, management), and removing the bond that was imposed, equivalent updates and gains incriminated paris. The players, Nikola Karabatic leading, will be received Tuesday by the president of the MAHB Rémy Levy. He wants to establish if they were involved in betting, in addition on a defeat of their team, even at half-time, which would be a breach of their contract of employment, but also contrary to the “essential rules of ethics and morality to which he is deeply committed. picture afp

Scott much tried last night, but Nantes was simply superior. (picture thierry suire)

It is cold, it is clinical and is without any surprise. Last night, the BHB has conceded defeat in the Palais des sports in Pau. Which surprisingly this morning? Person, and this is perhaps the worst. It is the seventh setback of this team in as many days in the Championships. This series shatter with frightening precision. Quite simply, the Billerois have still not tasted the warm comfort of a victory since they set foot in the elite. They knew that these lands would be hostile, but still.

Valor

For good remind the Béarnais how they are tolerated for the time being at this level, Nantes came prove them the reverse they did suffer in League Cup was no coincidence.

Then of course, we knew. The HBC Nantes is a formidable rival. Bigger, faster, more experienced… Nantes are simply stronger. It was nice hope the reverse sometimes, size really matters. Last night, she weighed all of its weight on the defence of the BHB. A last bulwark which, it is true, has not been helped by whistles of the arbitral body. No, the BHB does not need this. But this last point cannot hide the difference in level between the two teams.

Neither the valour of teammates Pierre Lahore also. They have not fallen arms. «They continued to defend till the end, positive as much as he can Arnaud Villedieu, coach of the BHB.» The score is severe. “But it is finally so logical.

And yet, things had not so badly commenced only this. To say it all – dare we say – it has even started. Two goals from Le Meur and Mahajan allow the BHB to take advantage (2-1, 5th). A fragile but so valuable margin by the time running in Béarn. For 20 good minutes, the Billerois competed, making them blow for blow to Nantes. But they themselves are weary of a such mano a mano and they have accelerated. Ten minutes, the last this first Act, they were enough to fold the match (6-7, 19 and 7-12, 30th).

This manly flick was enough to make back the BHB in the travers. Which? But the same ones cited since the beginning of the season. The excitement has gripped the Béarnais, precipitation has been flexing their arms… And they have slowly fallen down.

Five small delay at the beginning of the second period goals. Tiny and huge at the time. Especially as the BHB returned the field to immediately offer a phony pass from Tan to a defense that did not so much (8-13, 31e) demanded. A well sufficient margin so that HBC Nantes manages the sequence of events. Is that in the last ten minutes – once again – that the gap has swollen (18-23, 48th and 20-29th). It is by walking the Billerois viewed Maqueda register the last goal of his team. Need to understand them. It is discouraging.

To count the movements of the offseason, at the beginning of last summer, eight departures appeared to be a very heavy sports handicap. Finally, after five days of Championship, Mios Biganos Bassin d’Arcachon plays tonight against Metz for second place in the hen (read further).

Obviously, coach Emmanuel Mayonnade takes the role of a real magician. Indeed, the announcement of recruitment, except two elements already evolving women’s League – Ivana Filipovic of Besançon and Julie Fletcher of Fleury – the names of the new players were not necessarily those of the most well-known in the world of handball. And yet, today the basin team offered the luxury of three victories, including a face to Issy Paris, a serious candidate for the title, as well as an excellent match draw at Toulon-Saint-Cyr (1).

Database

But what is the secret of the grandson of the founder president Roger Mayonnade ruse? “I am made me a database in which I recorded a whole list of player that, for the most part, I viewed on my computer throughout the year.” I will continuously on many sites and as soon as I fall on a game, at any level whatsoever, I watch it. This is how I view girls who seem to have some talent. This was the case for the Czech Iveta Luzumova that I had discovered three years ago. “It has been on my list and as it matched my search criteria this year, I contacted him to hire him.

With the smallest budget

Emmanuel Mayonnade ensures a permanent track of a future holder, including at the lower level. “For me, Marion Maubon, who played last year in Bègles, was certainly the best WNBA of Division 2. “That’s it so naturally that I met her.

On the other hand, the coach must take into account a particular criterion: MBBA is the smallest budget of the women’s League. “In contrast to clubs who can financially afford, we have little right to error.’ Cannot afford the luxury to bring a candidate during a week on the spot. Need therefore to be very rigorous and as such, I’m very demanding. “It is essential that the collective is the more quickly to be competitive.

(1) WINS at Besançon (28-27), Dijon (35-25) and face of Issy Paris (28-25). Match nul on the grounds of Toulon-Saint-Cyr (28-28).

It is also true that it will be tomorrow night still twelve games to play by the end of the season. “We must remain cautious because the gap is not enough and everything can happen, including to collapse at some point for a whole bunch of reasons, such as injury for example.” But a success tonight would then propel the MBBA on the heels of the leader, London.

This game against the Lorraines was one that was going to decide the allocation of the second place in the pool at the end of the sixth day of the Championship. Suffice to say that both teams had the firm intention to take the ascendancy over the other in this race to the places of honor. Unfortunately this confrontation has been somewhat “become” due to the problems of staff of the Girondines to kick off.

Indeed, to the injury of Ivana Filipovic since the beginning of the season, added that of Zivile Jugurtyte (ankles). Similarly the Dutch Isabelle Jongenelen presented itself with a strap to leg (contracture). Knowing that the club has in total only 13 players, understand easily that the case was not under the best Hospice for Mios Biganos Bassin d’Arcachon.

Nevertheless, and with a willingness to fire, the Girondines began immediately in action and met the tac and tac, in a part that was owned at the time. In three minutes, the two teams had already marked each three goals

It was then a six-minute period during which nothing was marked, it was fighting on all the balloons in a furious battle. The Lorraines took the ascendancy in attack with a series of three goals and then another two goals to lead 14-9 to six minutes from the break.

20-20-Ball

Driven by a full “cauldron” until the hangers, the local finished strong thanks to Ciavatti-Boo, Maubon and Degoue which allowed the MBBA limit the gap for passage to locker rooms (12-15).

During the second Act, if visitors were conducting the gap during the first minutes the Girondines, though, returned to power to be more than a single goal (20-19) at the end of the third quarter of an hour. Then, it was certainly the turning point of the match.

Indeed, the ball of the Isabelle Luzimova was repulsed by the bar during his attempt of transformation of the penalty which would have put the two fighters back to back. Worse, even a little later, it’s the ball is Mireya Gonzalez who was repelled this time by the post.

Johan Kinagébéni enjoys his new position. But he is wary of the lack of rotations. (Picture l. Jahier)

Johan Kiangébéni found the position of his promising debut, when he played back to Ivry, NHL club. His coach then, today called coach Tremblay-France, Stéphane Imbretta. “”If one day you want to play in D1, should be that you develop to the wing,”he told me.” No sooner said, immediately made and ‘Jo’ found lots of fun. ‘Winger is a relay with the goalkeeper. He receives the ball and began the revival. It finds more often, if it is placed in good conditions, by a shot. »

Today, by the force of things, Maurice Franck seeks more Karekar at the Centre-half position to lead the manoeuvre. As Robin Foubert, still injured, can provide an additional rotation.

The accomplice of Leung

Knighted in this function, ‘Jo’ is acquired with some success in his new task. “Gradually, I found my bearings and my feelings.” It took me a little time. I’m not an arriere-tireur, but rather creative. I do play my teammates. » Promoted half-back, all the balloons pass through its hands, little or prou. I like, I touch more balloons and I lead the attack. With, on the left side, the young Lory Grignou, the rocket ready to take off, the complicity becomes obvious.

“I appreciate it much.” We have just the same mid-hopefuls, in Paris. We speak the same language, it allows us to better understand us. It is a nice guy who is listening. I think that’s the first time that Saintes has a pair of wingers left of this quality. »

A saintais future dashed

What fears Johan Kiangébéni, like many of its partners, is the accumulation of matches without being able to be replaced because of a very small bench. “Tiredness could settle and, with it, the appearance of an injury that would complicate a little more our task.” Apparently rear wing is badly his team continue to hold long with seven players on the rope.

About his future in Saintes, it is dashed. ‘If I have an opportunity, I’m leaving.’ I have a family to feed, I need to know where I go, guarantees and certainties to stay. If I can finish the season, so much the better. My priority is to return to the top level. Currently, it takes a lot of pleasure. The only time where you can be let go, this is the day of the match, we forget about the rest. The ideal is that Saints go all the way. »

Sylvain Kieffer took an active role in the victory, scoring eight goals including two jets of 7 meters. (archives laurent jahier)

Come in Morbihan with only ten players, Saintes distrusted somewhat of the lanesterienne formation, which remained on two consecutive victories. In this context, there is nothing better than to succeed his early in the game. In six minutes, saintongeaise training actually bends the fate of this encounter, with a 6-0 net and flawlessly with at the base, a Johan Kiangébéni, very effective.

“It is a match that is bent in a quarter of an hour, analysis Franck Maurice, saintais coach. We took the first goal after nine minutes of play. I think we had very well prepared this meeting. We have very well defended and able to recover against balls. What allowed “Jo” Karekar, Sylvain Kieffer and Lory LEUNG to highlight in the relaunch. To them three, they score 25 goals, 75% efficiency. »

“The team did nothing dropped.

It is questioned, Lanester finally out of its box. But at the break, the mattress was reassuring for the Maritimes, with a mark of 8-17.

At the back, lectured by their coach, the Lanesteriens were still somewhat illusion. But had just whacked on the six granted goals of entry (15-21, 42nd) “It is true that we have had a small floating period when the Lanesteriens have put in place a layered defense.” They returned to six goals, but the team dropped nothing. A little less verbose Karekar is Sylvain Kieffer who took over. » Men’s Franck Maurice could only manage the score. “Work this way with players who were also receptive and applied, it is a luxury and I get lots of plaisir.».

As the Britons, already not at best, were undergoing arbitration sanctions. Success only logical that the Saintais have been able to forge quickly. “It is the victory of the exemplarity to the image of goalkeeper Julien lb which for sixty minutes has been effective, told saintais coach.” I have not changed it, because when a goalkeeper is in success especially in the first Act, I do not see the need to replace it during the second. I also think that we arrive at the end of a cycle of preparation and games which have worn the bodies. Several days of rest will be welcome before welcoming Saran, the leader, in fifteen days. »

Games for girls follow each other and are similar for Thierry Doumengès teammates who still had victory within reach in the final seconds and who stupidly conceded a no face to the Red Lantern is certainly better than its status.

Explanations: there are a handful of seconds to play, the Canaries are a very small goal managed by Paul Falguière and prepare to defend beak and wings deployed this advantage over Limougeauds trying all for all. Canaries are able to retrieve the ball and the back for finally losing it in the opposing defense to 11 seconds from the buzzer. Limoges dates back to all strides and Vettorel is forced to surround the opponent for bailing a red card. This situation gives a free-kick for Limoges 2 seconds of the term and therefore the opportunity to equalise. But it’s more than not if we consider that the fault lies 15 meters from goal, along the sideline and noustysien wall seems impassable. And finally the improbable happens: Aubard address a missile that passes into the wall and Astydamas relaxes into his own goal. Canaries collapsed, who yet were the gain of the match and Limoges lets explode his joy.

In this hard-fought match, amid tense and tight, Pau-Nousty failed to really take control of the operations despite a Thibault the Mabec or a Fred Marty’s big night with 7 goals each. Although conducted four units upon the return of the locker room, when the Canaries are able to reverse the trend by passing a 6-1 to Limougeauds destabilized by the exclusion of their offensive centerpiece Lambert, the latter are unable to accelerate the game face it is true to a defence difficult to maneuver.

Pau-Nousty therefore really lost more than a point in the end and can be bite the fingers.

Montpellier was inclined 28-31

It was the 12 husband, Montpellier faced Rennes Cesson team, struggling for its maintenance. It is around this match, the française des Jeux has recorded many suspect paris. In total, 18 people have been placed in custody, whose brothers Karabatic. Have players they left spun the match?

Local channels of Rennes had broadcast the meeting: get your own idea.

Daniel Costantini: “Claude Onesta (France team coach) is hiding so that one wonders if he is not dead”. (SO)

The former coach Daniel Costantini, who released the shadow in France handball, spoke, on Thursday on the case that led several players of Montpellier, which the brothers Karabatic, in custody, believed to have bet on their own defeat in the match against Cesson-Sévigné. In this interview, Daniel Costantini, today consultant to RMC, savings or the stars of the hand, or their national coach Claude Onesta.

Can we imagine a handball players bet on their own games?

Daniel Costantini:Until then it was unthinkable. But we realize today that they are boys who are they much more qualities they have. Nikola Karabatic, everyone was talking about his intelligence, said he could have done graduate studies. However, if it is proven, it behaved like a small con. Being willing to put his career at stake for € 10,000…

How do you explain?

Perhaps by this obsession with wanting to kiss everyone, to be more strong and intelligent than the French games which is the sponsor of the France team but who will stitch money. By dint of win, these guys have developed a sense of invincibility. They eventually say: do you mean that it comes to us? And nobody was there to calm them down. “Their close entourage is so beat of admiration that he could not play this role there and the Federation has failed to do so either.”

Handball pays the ransom of glory?

We pay today is the fact of having been overwhelmed by a phenomenon of media coverage, success to all hair and search for formulae such as Experts, the invincible, immortals. I read somewhere: Onesta, Imperator Claudius. Face it if it is not in the House people who keep their lucidity and composure, here are what happens. The top athletes are eternal children said. In front, there are eternal parents and these parents here did their job.

You think about that in particular?

Claude Onesta (France team coach) stashed so that one wonders if he is not dead. The DTN (national technical Directorate) did his job, the president of the Federation (Joël Delplanque) does what he can, but seems overwhelmed by the events, what I understand also. But the storm should straighten the head and not allow just people from Montpellier to make front.

For the image of handball is terrible…

It is abominable. Already the shot of the plateau TV in London (Editor’s Note: destroyed the night of the Olympic title) it was messy. They had jostled a bit Gérard Holtz in Beijing (in 2008) but it was more festive. It was a real attack. It was put on the account of their human side, the fact that they do not take alcohol. But behind, there was also the fact that their coach was vindictive and spiteful to the press and that players have been able to use. It was already smelling and not good sign.

The business of sports betting is another dimension…

To the JT it happening even before the drama of Echirolles where two kids are dead. It will leave traces. Those who go meh especially are those who are at the forefront starting with the club that is built on the strength of the wrist for twenty years. In this story someone like (coach) Patrice Canayer, who is a fundamentalist’s performance in compliance with the rules, is swell in an incredible way. It’s the magnificent Cuckold! I do not know how he will be able to bounce back. “I see a very dark future for the Montpellier club.”

Handball is going to recover?

Yes, because even if there is a tendency to summarize all these players here, there not only them in the handball world. It will need relay as the clubs of Paris and Chambéry. And then it will need to be able to make amends which is not the easiest thing. Because the family of the hand is responsible in not having seen anything coming. We’ll rest feet on Earth a bit abruptly, as the guy who jumps in parachute and landed violently. “The risk of leaving his two ankles is important.”
