Toulouse – MHB: a third shock in a week, and the opportunity for the Montpellier residents to assert themselves a little more
On behalf of the 15th day of Starligue, the MHB, new leader, goes to Toulouse this Tuesday (8:30 p.m.).
They were at least two to have lived a dream Sunday. The day after their victory against Paris SG in the shock at the top of the championship, Diego Simonet and Lucas Moscariello, the two Argentinians from Montpellier Handball, were therefore in heaven, after the coronation of the albiceleste against the blues.
“They had recruited all the foreign players of the club to support Argentina (who even put on Argentinian jerseys), smiles the coach Patrice Canayer. It was a very good atmosphere, even if we are disappointed we are happy for them because they felt very proud.”
After this day of relaxation and recuperation, the French, Argentinians and all the others will still have to move on to something else very quickly. Only three days after defeating Paris Saint-Germain, the MHB moves to Toulouse, his last game of the first leg, his tenth in just over a month. All with the new label of sole championship leader.
Toulouse, this executioner
“I told the players that we were where we wanted to be. Now, we must not lose the course we have set for ourselves. Keep humility because it is not because we is in mind that we should not respect everyone. I remobilized them on the day of Sunday and believe in us to go as far as possible “again explains Canayer.
Especially since stands in front of his team of Toulouse who have a habit of knocking down the big cars this season with two victories against Paris and Nantes in their room at André-Brouat.

Even if the two formations will surely be on the same physical level since the Fénix comes out of a breathless match in Chambéry on Saturday (31-30), Montpellier is warned. “Toulouse have a team that has a different style of play from Paris. They play very very fast and pack their games at home. They will need an even stronger defense to defeat their initiatives and slow down their game”announces the Montpellier coach.
At the same time, Paris travels to Nantes to finish their respective marathons. A victory in Toulouse lands would ensure that the MHB remain alone in the lead and spend the holidays warm. And asserts itself a little more.
