For the 2nd day of the French mixed team championship, the Montpellier players face Asnières, Tuesday (7 p.m.) at the Palais des sports Pierre-de-Coubertin, and want to redeem themselves after their initial defeat.
The Montpellier judokas have revenge to take on themselves. The defeat against Chilly-Mazarin at home in the opening of the Judo Pro League (3-7) was experienced as a snub by the MJO coach Arthur Combeau.
He expects his troops to wake up this Tuesday, at the Palais des Sports Pierre-de-Coubertin from 7 p.m. against Asnières, a team stronger on paper than last week's Parisian opponent.
Ten fights for a spectacular evening
Eva Grassin, surprisingly beaten last Wednesday, and her teammates will be keen to redeem themselves in front of the Montpellier crowd who responded in terms of decibels in the stands of the renovated stadium in the heart of the Hauts-de-Massane district.
If it wants to keep a chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals of this French mixed team championship, the club of president Christel Lavaud has no choice but to win the points of victory before traveling to Bègles (Gironde) and Nantes in November.
Montpellier will be able to count on its headliner Emma Melis and on the expected rebound of Hugo Metifiot, French champion – 90kg and beaten against Chilly-Mazarin. A possible Montpellier victory necessarily involves the success of its best judokas. And by significant support from judo lovers in Montpellier during an evening with 10 fights on the program.
