Carcassonne is wary – lindependant.fr

Last weekend, at the reception of young Catalans, Carcassonnais showed some very nice things. Especially during the first half, which Fred Camel didn’t hesitate to describe as “the best since the beginning of the season”. Indeed, during these first forty minutes, Bastien Escamilla and his brothers, around a pivotal O’Beirne-Herrero who is beginning to find the right connections, have recited their score perfectly. Morgan Escaré’s speed and avoidance qualities also brought speed to Audois’ game.

A reunion with Brock Pelligra

These good measures highlighted against St-Estève, however, require confirmation. To do this, the Canaries are offered a suitable opponent with Toulouse Olympique who they will visit this afternoon. Because it is clear that, this season, the Haut-Garonnais have given themselves the means to exist in national competition by succeeding in quality recruitments. Like that of Brock Pelligra who is not an unknown at the foot of the City and dreams of playing a bad joke on his former teammates.

Carcassonne expects a reaction from the TO

This is why the “Gialloni” go to the Pink City with a certain diffidence, as expressed by Bastien Canet: “We studied the Toulouse game well on video. This allowed us to see that they had very good players. We must always be wary of a team that remains on a defeat because, behind it, there is often a reaction.

For this match, Fred Camel and Alan Walsh have only slightly changed the line-up that prevailed against the “blood and gold” since Clément Boyer established himself as a mainstay while Bastien Escamilla takes over on the substitutes’ bench where he finds Jo Drodrolagi and Alexis Albérola who is back in the group.
