Volley: ninth consecutive victory of the GFCA

At the end of a uncertain match, a collective, true emotion, which says the relief of the gas group.

Because this meeting will have rebounded more often than expected. Yes, Nantes is the bête noire du Gaz this season, but the Reds and Blues remain on a historic series of eight wins of rank. So the whole Palatinu waits again for the three points.

Problem, Gas is not really in the rhythm, fails to read the opponent's game, is defective against. And Nantes to legitimately win the first leg 25-21.

The Palatinu tends, especially since Carle, in attack, does not play yet at the level that is his this season and the Gas needs his contribution. The second set still marks a change in this balance of power.

Pepic, the priority striker of the gas, crack the opposing block. And especially, the GFCA is much more compact, no longer offers easy points. His counter is now effective and it changes everything. A set everywhere.

Key points

The 3rd set is as often essential. Moments during which experience makes the difference. Exiga reception, Pujol pass and Pepic smash. Two sets to one.
Carle, much better, will finish at 19 points, Pepic at 29, and their GFCA wins the 4th set 28-26. Three new key points.

Already guaranteed to be European, 2nd two days from the end of the regular phase. How far will this GFCA go? Hard to say, as the Play-Offs, these final phases, will open a competition apart. But this set certainly has the potential to write a great story.
