France: Tours, Chaumont and Cambrai to the top. Successful comeback of Paris vs. Nantes
2 min read
Round 2 of the French Ligue A was completed last night.
In the big match, Tours won in just 3 sets on the Narbonne field, in what was a very balanced match. Excellent performance for the opposite Rafael Araujo on the Narbonne jersey (19 points, 59% in attack and 41% efficiency), while among the winners, MVP Tillie tallied 20 points (53% in attack and 36% efficiency) and Derouillon also contributed with 19 points, 69% in attack and 62% efficiency, and was preferred to Toledo in the opposite position.
Another team with full points is Cambrai who, led by the opposite Tupchii, deservedly named MVP of the match with 18 points and 54% in attack, defeated Poitiers 3-0, despite the signing of the medical joker setter Toafa Takaniko (in place of brazilian setter Eduardo Carisio, injured). Bad evening for the Brazilian opposite Chizoba (9 points, 33% and 0% efficiency in attack).
6 points also for Chaumont, who destroyed 3-0 newcomers Plessis Robinson stopping former national team member Rouzier (5 points, 24% and -29% efficiency in attack). Closing the picture the comeback from 0-2 to 3-2 in Paris against Nantes, led again with Lawani, author of another amazing performance, top scorer of the match with 23 points (he was named MVP also a week ago, in Round 1 vs. Cannes).
