Toulouse. Marcon: “Pendant for two days, I was on cloud nine”
Paul Marcon scored the winning try against Saint-Helens on Matchday 6. Before the trip to Castleford, tomorrow evening, the TO winger confides.
You scored the winning try against Saint-Helens (22-20). What do you remember?
It’s my very first try in the Super League, so it’s immensely satisfying. Then, he is registered against Saint-Helens, the triple tenant of the title. This try became important because it led us to victory. I would like to say that this essay is above all a collective work. I was well placed, I created an excellent ball delivered by Tony (Gigot). In the evening, I received congratulatory text messages, it was incredible. For two days, I was on cloud nine. Now we’ve got our feet back on the ground. Because tomorrow night we have a very important meeting in Castleford.
Is this test against Saint-Helens also a revenge on a very frustrating previous season?
Last year, I admit having had a very frustrating season. During the first match in Perpignan against the Catalan Dragons, I blessed my cruciate ligaments. On March 29, 2021, I was realized. I had set myself the goal of returning to my best level. During my recovery period, I had the chance to be well advised by the medical supervision of the club, the physiotherapist. They helped me a lot. Sincerely, I thank them.
What inspires you Castleford, your next opponent?
Personally, I never had the opportunity to meet the “Tigers”. It is our direct competitor in the ranking. Last week, he brilliantly defeated Leeds in the FA Cup. We know that this team is carried by its supporters in an old-fashioned stadium. On Friday, there is a great challenge to take up.
In 2018, you experienced your first selections in the blue jersey. The next World Cup, are you thinking about it?
I participated in the last gathering of the France team on March 21 in Perpignan. When you’ve worn the France team jersey, you want to experience new sensations. The World Cup, I’m thinking about it, but my priority is Toulouse Olympique. First of all, we have to ensure maintenance in the Super League.
