On behalf of the 15th day of Starligue, the MHB, new leader, travels to Toulouse this Tuesday (8.30pm).
There were at least two who lived a dream Sunday. The day after the victory against Paris SG in the shock at the top of the championship, Diego Simonet and Lucas Moscariello, the two Argentines of Montpellier Handball, were inevitably in heaven, after the Albiceleste’s crowning against the Blues.
“They had recruited all the club’s foreign players to support Argentina (who even wore the Argentine shirt), the coach smiles Patrice Canayer. There was a very nice atmosphere, even if we are sorry, we are happy for them because they felt very proud.”
After this day of relaxation and recovery, the French, Argentines and everyone else will still have to move on very quickly. Just three days after defeating Paris Saint-Germain, the MHB extension moves to Toulouse, his last game of the first leg, his tenth in just over a month. All with the new label of sole championship leader.
Toulouse, this executioner
“I told the players that we were where we wanted to be. Now we must not lose the course that we set ourselves. Keep humility because it’s not because we have in mind that we don’t have to respect everyone. I remobilized them on Sunday and believe in us to go as far as possible”explains Canayer again.
Especially as he faces his Toulouse team who have a habit of knocking down the big cars with this season two victories against Paris and Nantes in their room at André-Brouat.

Although the two formations will certainly be on the same physical level as Fénix come out of a breathless match in Chambéry on Saturday (31-30), Montpellier are booked. “Toulouse have a team that has a different style of play from Paris. They play very, very fast and prepare for home games. They will need even stronger defense to defeat their initiatives and slow down their game.”announces the Montpellier coach.
At the same time, Paris travels to Nantes to finish their respective marathons. A win in the Toulouse lands would ensure MHB only remain at the top and spend the holiday warm. And make yourself count a little more.
Skube uncertain but in the group
Still struggling after picking up a knock on his knee, midfielder Stas Skube is unsure but is still part of the squad brought to Toulouse.
The group : Bolzinger, Desbonnet, Bonnefoi. Simonet, Villeminot, Pellas, Skube, Porte (cap.), Y.Lenne, Nacinovic, Bos, Berthier, A.Lenne, Moscariello, Panic, Jensen, Cornette, Dubois.
