Joelly Belleka, ex-Chartres player: “This match against Toulouse, I checked it!”
Joelly, you made your comeback to Jean-Cochet with the Toulouse jersey … Does that sound weird to you?
Obviously ! I stayed six years in blue, and there I will be in pink and black. But above all I am very impatient. I will see a lot of faces that I love again. There will also be my family who will be present. So, yeah, this is really the game I was waiting for the most. This October 23, I checked it!
Why did you decide to change air this summer?
It was by mutual agreement with the club. I had reached the end of the cycle with Chartres. I needed to see another chosen. I have the goal of going to Ligue 1 one day, and I told myself that maybe I had to go through a club other than Chartres to get there. I needed to get out of my comfort zone.
The C’Chartres Basket Féminin against the Toulouse ogre, this Saturday, October 23
Would you have liked to join an elite team directly?
Yes, I would have liked, for sure. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the opportunity, so Toulouse was a good option. It’s a club that was in the Women’s League before. It’s a little more professional than in Chartres, let’s say. We have a team built to play the climb, and that’s what I came to look for here. Now, it’s up to us to give ourselves the means.
How do you rate your start to the season?
For now, it’s okay, we had a counterperform in Strasbourg, but with three wins and one defeat, it’s still a good record.

And the one in Chartres, do you follow him?
Yes, especially because I am Camille (Hillotte). She was my colt in Chartres, I was always behind her, and I continue, even from Toulouse. In any case, it’s great what they do, with a big performance in Mondeville. I hope they will continue.
