It is an understatement to say whether the disappointment lived up to expectations, on the Columérin side, on this very last Saturday in April. The opportunity was indeed good to return to the height of Montpellier which we suspected that they would not support the comparison with Puy-en-Velay, one of the big cars launched
full throttle to the top echelon. The National, the very one that Béziers, indisputable winner the night before last, has known in the recent past even if his mentor Alain Nègre explained that “among the players who currently make up his team, this is not the case for all neither does the world”.
Colomiers had started this confrontation rather well in the shadow of the ax or almost, but, sign of a fate once again contrary, the center – shot of Pierre Legrand crashed on the top of the crossbar ( 4th). On the other hand, the very first misunderstanding (it is true as visible as the nose in the middle of Cleopatra’s face) within the local rear guard was charged full price by an opponent who, although not very dangerous until then , did not ask for so much: 1-0.
Badly recovered from their emotions, the Haut-Garonnais cash in the wake of what will be neither more nor less than the goal of the final break (2-0). And this, despite the laudable reaction of pride that will lead Kevin Cardinali to close the gap. All this, without there being any question of formulating the hypothesis of any Hérault solidarity: “We play the game like any competitors worthy of the name”, explained Alain Nègre.
Still, the said status quo in the standings (Chamalières also lowered its flag, which only intensifies the Columérin regrets) is necessarily unfavorable to the losers who are getting a little closer to the precipice.
