They had promised not to fall into the easy one week after dynamiting Presov (34-20) at the sports hall: the Toulouse people kept their word by doubling the bet last night in Slovakia (31-19).

With now three victories on the clock, Pierrick Chelle’s teammates have more than ever the cards in hand to finish among the top four in their group and thus reach the 1/8 final next spring. While they will arrive three times during the last four days of this mini-championship, which will resume its rights next February, they have already almost planned to follow the course in once again serious and applied.

Presov very quickly abdicated

Faced with such a limited team, it was more than enough even if the Slovaks are offered the luxury of leading (9-7, 15th). A flash in the pan very quickly circumscribed by Ilic (7/8) and others had already taken their ease at the break (16-12).

Presov then very quickly abdicated giving Fenix ​​a one-way second half and Danijel Andjelkovic the leisure to rotate his squad. “It’s a great operation for us and it was important to confirm the right state of mind but we don’t want to stop there” their coach has already promised. Providing a return from Wednesday morning at 7 am, the Toulouse residents will be back home in the evening. This leaves little time to prepare for the next challenge: the reception of Créteil, from Friday, in the championship. And we don’t risk ourselves much by promising them a more consistent adversity..
