Too far from the play-off, Alberto Arteaga will have to keep his players under nervous influx to complete the season well.
Seven points behind the play-offs, twelve ahead of the red zone: five days from the end, the UJS eagles have little to play. However, tomorrow night in Nantes (three points behind), the Artaaga group will want to take a blow against a similar team. “It is a team that performed well, which has one of the most beautiful collective games in the championship, but which fails to win,” announces the coach.
Mistrust therefore, even if the Nantes elephants will be deprived of two of their executives, Issa Koné and Mbemba Sacko. Especially since the eagles will have to do without Thibaut Garros, who should no longer show up until the end of the season in his goal because of his knee, but also because the work week has not been simple. “Simon Luc, Younes Ahssen and Ayoub Bouita were in selection, they returned tonight. It is not ideal for preparing a match without your three best players,” said the Toulouse coach.
Stay concerned!
With the means at hand, Arteaga also noticed that the state of mind has changed somewhat. “Now that we have lost the goal of the season, some players are a little worse than usual,” he smiles, before reassuring: “The group still remained motivated, in addition I brought up young players from team 2 this week”.
Conditioned work for the coach who is nonetheless a trainer. “We have a good team in terms of mentality, but some are still in the construction phase. Sometimes they think they have more rights than homework, but that is part of the process of training a young person, knowing how to respond in hard moments. Even if we have little more to play, you have to stay competitive and give a good image of the club. The results play a lot on the emotion of the players, but we must already build the Spanish.
