Last day of the first leg matches, this Friday evening, for Angevins traveling to the Grand Palais des Sports in Toulouse. And once again, it’s a match that will count double for EAB, stuck at the bottom of the rankings… just behind their evening opponent, who has one more small victory. It’s also a special trip for coach John Delay: “Toulouse was the first match I watched when the schedule came out. My best friend, Willy Senegal is Laurent Mposus’s assistant, he’s been my friend since… It’s simple, we had the same nanny when his father, Jean-Michel, coached Racing Paris. It is also a special match since it will be played at the Grand Palais (rather than at the Petit Palais des Sports) and 3,500 places out of the 4,000 were sold…”
“Continue to progress”
There will therefore be atmosphere, challenge but, “we don’t do calculations, assure John Delay, because we don’t have time for that. What interests us is the content, the way of playing, the defensive attitudes…” For the moment, there is only one certainty for the Angevin technician: “The managers are behind us, the players, the staff. We must continue to be in line with our last matches by continuing to progress. There’s no reason why we can’t do it. »
