Toulouse FH goes out in the second half
“There was too much waste in several areas of play to claim victory.” Last night, Fabien Vedel, the TFH coach, found the right words to sum up the defeat of his troops. “Even if, at the time when I speak to you, I do not yet have the precise explanations to analyze and understand what could have happened in this match”, indicated the Toulouse coach.
Indeed, in the middle of the first period (14-9), nothing seemed to be able to stop his players. But very quickly, Julie Legatindji and her partners multiplied the errors, dragging the Havraises back into the game. “Yes, clearly, we put ourselves in difficulty and, opposite, they knew how to take advantage of it”, confirmed Fabien Vedel. Worse, in the second half, the Toulousaines did not retain their advantage for very long (15-16, 32nd), before desperately chasing after the score until the final whistle.
Break until November 26
“Without looking for excuses, the people of Le Havre have more experience than us in D2. And on this part, I think this parameter certainly made the difference. Reading the calendar at the start of the season, it was not asked one of the matches that we had checked for an imperative victory. But given the face of the match, we can say that it’s really a shame because there was room to confirm our success in Brittany last week past. In the second half, we were able to create chances. Unfortunately, in the finish, we often lacked that little something that can turn things around,” continued Fabien Vedel.
In the agenda, the Toulousaines will have to wait until November 26 to find the championship with a trip to Vaulx-en-Velin on the menu. “We will first continue to train next week. Then, we will cut the following week”, specifies the coach. Just to recharge the batteries.
