the essentials Eliminated from the Coupe de France to everyone’s surprise, USC wants to bounce back immediately. One level higher, TFC is aiming for its first success in the championship.
With only one point on the clock in five days, the TFC continues its learning in National 2. Despite interesting content, the young Toulouse players still lack the bottle to compete with much more experienced teams. During the last day, the Pitchouns lost their teeth against a solid team from Grasse, before losing on a set piece. “We lacked presence and offensive impact, it’s true. We have to keep our backs,” admits coach Jean-Christophe Debu. Resting last weekend while its opponents competed for the Cup, TFC will try to find the spark tomorrow on the Aubagne pitch.
Blagnac and Castanet, strong heads
While he made the Coupe de France an important objective, Colomiers, now in National 3, for his part suffered a big disappointment by losing heavily to Figeac (0-3), an opponent who was two divisions inferior. An affront that Yannick Blanchard’s players want to erase tomorrow against Canet-en-Roussillon.
Leader and undefeated in the championship, Blagnac, although promoted, continued its fantastic start to the season by qualifying for the 5th round at the expense of FC 2 Rives 82 (R1, 2-0). “On the defensive side, we were once again up to what we put in place. Our offensive animation must follow and there, by scoring two goals I am satisfied. We must continue with this dynamic”, judges coach Fabrice Dubois. While they have yet to concede a single goal in the league, the Caouecs will try to stay the course on the Anglet pitch.
Stuck in second place in the ranking, one point behind leader Blagnac, Castanet also continued its excellent start to the season by passing the 4th round without incident against AS Canet (D2, 4-1). With the second best attack in the championship (7 goals), the “yellow and black” want to continue on the lawn of Lège-Cap-Ferret. An opponent who risks being fired up since after having suffered a short defeat at Blagnac (0-1) in the championship, the Girondins have just been eliminated from the Coupe de France by Alliance Foot 3B, resident of Régional 2.
