Villeneuve-sur-Lot. The Leopards must win and seduce in front of Toulouse
After having grilled a big joker in front of Albi a few weeks ago, the Leopards no longer have much choice. If they want to be part of the good wagon of the qualifiers at the end of the exercise, they must take the most points possible because direct competitors like Avignon, Saint-Estève and Albi have taken the lead in the classification for the last qualifying place. . “Mathematically, it’s still playable!” insists co-trainer Constant Villegas, very happy to see the infirmary gradually emptying as Spring approaches. “We have 6 meetings left on the federal calendar and we will have to negotiate them as best as possible.” After the postponement of the match in Lézignan due to bad weather last weekend, the “green and white” have the opportunity to return to success this Saturday afternoon at Max Rousié with the arrival of the penultimate Toulouse . A formation from Haut-Garonne which had almost tripped up the pioneering club during the first leg won by the wire by the Villeneuvois. “Even if this Toulouse team is sailing at the bottom of the table, we will have to respond to this meeting with the utmost seriousness and with great motivation” continues Constant Villegas. With players from the pink city who have absolutely nothing left to lose and who will travel to the edges of the Lot completely uninhibited. “It’s up to us to respect our opponent and adopt the right attitudes on the pitch.” For this penultimate meeting of the season at home, the technical staff of the Leopards of Aquitaine should record the returns of Damien Gautier, Mourad Kriouache, Curtis Davies, Vladika Nikolic and captain Thomas Lasvenes. Basically, it is a Villeneuvois workforce distributed in full which presents itself on the green rectangle with the objective of absolutely taking the 3 points and above all to regain confidence, serenity.
