Julien Marchand warns before the European Cup!
Zapping Fifteen World XV DE FRANCE: The 2021/2022 calendar
The Stade Toulousain hooker, Julien Marchand, returned to the club’s future European deadlines. The opportunity for him to say a little more about the differences between the TOP 14 and the Champions Cup. Questioned by La Dépêche, he delivered a rather lucid observation of the vision he has of the new competition.
Above all, you have to try not to stick to your achievements and always work to improve. As soon as you improve, you necessarily change the way you play very little. But the key is not to stick to what you have learned and have a good dynamic with the group, that everyone gets along well, that the group lives well. From there you can do great things. There is often a little more effective playing time, even if we sometimes find that in certain matches in TOP 14. But it is true that it increases a little in the European Cup. These are high-stakes games and the small mistakes that you sometimes allow yourself in TOP 14 can also directly hurt the team. The smallest detail therefore counts for the slightest fault in your camp, you are automatically punished with three points, or even a penalty and then a try. You have to be a little more specific. ”
to summarize
Julien Marchand says that the European Cup is a whole different competition. Indeed, the requirement of play is more important than in TOP 14, it is thus necessary to be as clean as possible in order to avoid any fault.
