Despite stiff competition, the left pillar manages to find a place of choice in the Haute-Garonne workforce, which moves to Carcassonne, this Friday January 6, on the occasion of the 16th day of Pro D2.
It’s not easy to find a place in the sun when you evolve into the same position as two confirmed pillars of the division. However, Guillaume Tartas shows selflessness and competes in playing time (342 minutes this season) with his two teammates Thomas Dubois and Hugo Djehi. “I finished the year better than I started it, testifies the Bayonnais. I have a string of matches and I’m happy because I continue to enjoy myself on the pitch. Chaining matchsheets together also lets you get into the groove. “Just take a look at the opposing teams faced by the left-footed at this stage of the season to evaluate his progress: Hamadache, Millar, Kartvelishvili… Proof that the columérin staff led by Julien Sarraute and Fabien Berneau trust him during important deadlines. “He was there whenever we needed him, expresses the first. He is a model teammate and will start against Carcassonne. “Another opponent whose conquest is an advantage…” We know that Carcassonne have a great team, especially at home, Tartas introduces. There is a large package of very rough fronts. This is what we missed last year. But we are all keen to recover from the defeat to Oyonnax and to start the year in the best possible way. This is why it is necessary to approach this Carcassonne game well to move on from the last game. »
More active in the game
And since the pillar’s function is not limited to conquest, today more than ever Guillaume Tartas is making an effort to participate in the columérin game. “We have lines of work, he knows them, indicates Sarraute. In addition to being efficient in the winning zones, which was already his skill, you have to be efficient in defense, compete in the physical challenge… And also be on the level of a Hugo Djehi in his ability to break, touch the ball, try to find spaces. An expansion of skills that does not displease the principal concerned: “We don’t just do scrums or push-buttons: in defense as in attack, we play rugby. We ask to join the game, which is not so bad! »
