Toulouse beat Montpellier after a spectacular game
We do not yet know if this is a promise for Ligue 1, or if the defenses of Toulouse and especially Montpellier are too porous, or if it is simply both. But the two teams offered a very spectacular preparation match, this Saturday evening in Agde (5-4 for the promoted). The meeting lasted 3 times 45 minutes, in order to allow the squad to rotate, but the nine goals were scored before the 90th, while the two teams were playing with their “typical teams”.
Toulouse already very well developed offensively
The Téfécé, experienced and very skilled in placed attacks, first set fire and took off thanks to the achievements of rookie Dallinga (10th), Ratao (19th) and Ngoumou (30th). Opposite, the MHSC played with a four-man defense for the first time in its preparation, but that cannot be enough as an explanation. In pride, the Pailladins returned to the game before the break, with goals from Wahi (36th, sp), Khazri (44th) and Nordin (45th + 1). But then, despite a penalty converted by Mavididi (62nd), the promoted Toulouse folded the case thanks to Nicolaisen (54th) and Diarra (5-4, 83rd).
Toulouse will have to solve a few problems to manage counterattacks against fast attackers, but already have solid certainties before returning to the elite. His collective is very in place and the complementarity between the offensive players is obvious. The MHSC, on the other hand, will have to quickly recover. Olivier Dall’Oglio’s men, after a disastrous end to last season, lost all their warm-up matches and their game is still unbalanced and perfectible.
