Toulouse. The TFH must gain consistency
After six days, the promoted Toulouse occupy 9th place in the standings with two wins and four losses.
“At the moment, there is no reason to lower our heads.” Captain of the TFH, Julie Legatindji thus summarizes the first block of the championship.
After six days, the promoted Toulouse are far from ridiculous in this D2. “Looking at our results, for the moment, we have not taken any correction”, continues the N.65 of “pink and black”. In detail, Coupe de France (elimination in the 1st round) and championship combined, the protégés of Fabien Vedel have yielded five times. But they have not yet exceeded ten goals behind at the final whistle. The “biggest” gap (-7) goes back precisely to this entry exit in the Cup (33-26), on September 10, on the floor of Noisy-le-Grand (another resident of D2).
In search of constancy over sixty minutes
“Unlike last season in NF1, we knew in advance that this exercise in D2 was going to be different. You have to learn to lose. But after six days, we know that we have the level to be evaluated in this division. must above all gain consistency. So far, we have been able to show interesting things. We must manage to reproduce them over sixty minutes and not intermittently, “insists Julie Legatindji.
The defeat at home last Saturday against Le Havre (24-29) illustrates the proposals of the Toulouse captain. “Yes, on this part, there was too much waste and in particular too many balls returned to our opponents. And at this level, the slightest error is paid for in cash”, she admits.
“We have this ability to question ourselves”
Despite everything, the TFH can always count on its main strength: group cohesion. “Like last season, we have this ability to question ourselves and to say things to each other”, confirms Julie Legatindji.
In the diary, the Toulousaines have been on forced rest since Saturday evening. The recovery will not take place until November 26 with a trip to Vaulx-en-Velin (10th, with the same number of points). “It’s finally a good thing to have this break because we’ve been doing quite a bit since the resumption of training in July”, admits Julie Legatindji. But the “pink and black” are still training this week. The real break will start from next Monday with nine days off.
