Back home and to the championship for the Parisians.
Almost two months after their last outing at Coubertin (and a 30-20 victory against Dunkirk), Raul Gonzalez's players welcome Créteil to their room, this Saturday afternoon (5 p.m.), in an unbalanced derby which should not give birth to a 'A suprise.
Ultra-favorite Paris.
Even if Créteil is used to selling his skin dearly, it is difficult to imagine the Parisians being surprised at home by the second to last in the standings.
First because their course is impeccable for the moment (13 matches and as many victories).
Then because, even deprived of Luka Karabatic, they can rely on a galactic workforce, including Mikkel Hansen, the recent Danish world champion.
In Créteil, who will then play Nîmes (6th) and Montpellier (3rd), we are already thinking of Tremblay (16th) in the duel of the poorly classified.
The European Cup allowed us to breathe.
The Parisian internationals (Remili, Gérard, Genty, Nahi, Hansen, Sole, Morros) returned from the Egyptian World Championship with great fatigue, which Nedim Remili, the Cristolian by birth, expressed, believing that PSG would have three more matches consecutive to dispute entry.
After the one against Szeged, the matches against Skopje and Elverum were finally postponed.
“We had to be at a hellish pace with ten meetings in February, including four in eight days, explains Thierry Omeyer, the manager.
This will allow the players to breathe.
"
Borges' misadventure.
Felipe Borges, who arrived in Créteil in October from Tremblay, is absent for this duel in Ile-de-France.
The Brazilian international (169 caps), who was to participate in the Egyptian World Cup with his team, caught the Covid-19 virus on the spot and did not play a single match.
Placed in quarantine with several of his teammates, the 35-year-old left winger maintained his condition alone in his hotel room and only returned last weekend.
He will not resume training until next Monday.
