After two consecutive victories at Saint-Gaudens and ahead of Avignon, the Leopards will travel without much pressure on Saturday evening to one of the championship favorites, Albi. “Yes but we still remain competitors and we will try to resist well in the Tarn with the hope of coming home with a little something” warns trainer Constant Villegas.
With young people who have tasted the high level for 2 seasons now and who have matured, the mayonnaise is starting to take effect with individual performances which are obviously better on the pitch. “Even if their room for improvement is still significant and they have to continue to work, they have reached a milestone in terms of technical qualities but also physical density. We just had to be patient and give them time to develop. “adapt to elite 1 with rougher contacts than in juniors” continues the Villeneuve 13 field man, proud of his group and his state of mind since the start of the season.
Except that on Saturday in Mazicou, the bar will be much higher for the “green and white” against the vice-champions of France who can aim for a shield this season. But as we said previously, captain Jo Wambergue’s teammates will have to approach this meeting without the slightest complexes and with the desire to give the best of themselves on the green rectangle. “If we manage to keep the ball and be solid defensively, we can worry this Tarn team. Otherwise, it risks being complicated.” For this evening in October, the team which recently won against the Avignon Bisons should be renewed with certainly the return of pillar Sacha Kouassi.
