The Tolosain would do well to take their first outdoor success, Friday 4 November in the city of Eure-et-Loir, on behalf of the eighth day of Starligue. Kick-off, 20:00
A week after devastating the Sélestat defense (37-24), the Toulousains will look to continue their momentum, tonight, in Chartres, to continue with a second consecutive success (which would be the first this season), but also for try to snatch a first hit outside after which they run, unsuccessfully so far.
“It is true that we did not go far in Aix but in the end we made a mistake. On the other hand we missed both Limoges and Dunkerque”, remembers Danijel Andjelkovic who knows that this trip to Chartres, followed by the reception in Cesson-Rennes the next week, are two important milestones in the Toulouse market table.
Because two successes could bring Fenix to the right side of the table and give substance to its “mixed for the moment” start of the season in the words of the Toulouse coach “because we can do better”.
Winning story
Tonight, against a Chartres team that has enjoyed some success in recent years (Toulouse have a streak of 3 wins and 1 draw), Fenix will have to demonstrate the same attacking efficiency as last week against Sélestat if not. will make them want to hear the threat of a team “that has a different face depending on whether you play at home or away from home. And at home, in his room, he is much better”, warns Danijel Andjelkovic who knows very well that little Halle Jean-Cochet and its 1,200 seats can quickly turn into a boiling cauldron.
“We will have to be smart because the game seems tight,” continues the Fenix coach. Because if Chartres has only two hits on its hunting list, it’s still Aix and Chambéry who have fallen into Eure-et-Loir.
Further proof if necessary that it will be necessary to redouble our vigilance against these Chartrains hoping to get out of the red zone as quickly as possible.
