This Saturday evening, July 27, at the Jean-Verbeke stadium, Toulouse dominated Rodez in the derby (2-0) which was also the last rehearsal before the resumption of competition in Ligue 2 next Saturday: at the Stadium against Ajaccio for the TFC , in Caen for the RAF.
Two nicely tied goals, but two grimaces that Philippe Montanier would have done well. Unlike the Aveyronnais who come out of their offseason without injury, the Haut-Garonnais who already hope to recover Gabrielsen and Dejaegere on Monday afternoon, have identified two new members in the infirmary. In defense, it was Bafodé Diakité who, on a heel, held his right hamstrings before lying down and coming out a quarter of an hour from the end on the advice of Doc. In attack, it was Rhys Healey who, on the hour mark, also had to finish the game on the bench, an ice pack covering his right adductors. Are the two players forfeited for next Saturday and the reception of AC Ajaccio? If the Diakité case – even though the player has taken the time to greet the supporters at length with the handrail – seems more worrying, we will know more anyway after additional examinations carried out at the beginning of the week.
Otherwise, blood and gold side, we will take up the short half-hour of Enzo Zidane, who tried to bring the binder in a collective that was quite lacking. What to remember from the match with two themes for each side:
TEFÉCÉ, efficiency rediscovered
It was the Achilles heel of the last two preparatory meetings. At the start of the evening, the Violets took less than 120 seconds – exactly 81 on the clock at the Ramier stadium – to (re) find the net (1-0, 2nd). Via a school action [décalage et débordement, service en retrait/l’arme fatale, intérieur du pied/sécurité]. Then 12 other minutes to break (2-0, 14th), here on an individual action of the one who, let us remember, did not score by chance 15 goals for his discovery of the French D2 last season: Healey, Rhys .
ADLI as if nothing
If the market does not suddenly take off next week, Amine Adli will be established by Philippe Montanier for the opening of the ball next Saturday, at the Stadium, against the Corsicans. Under the sun of Tarn-et-Garonne, it will have made the rain and – especially – the good weather. Taking the ball and interval, permutations, overlaps … The shooting star has been a hit. An action majesty sums up its score: two opponents eliminated in pivot and opening to Healey who will come up against an inspired Mpasi (11).
RODEZ AF, the middle empire …
The team opposite held him high, but let Laurent Peyrelade be reassured: for Rouergat midfield, it’s a safe bet that it will not always be as complicated this season as it will be on Saturday ” hot”. Because with the Leborgne-Boissier-Rajot triangle, the RAF has something to respond to. Clearly. Slaughtering these three will bend more than one. The Normans in Caen on Saturday in eight? To be continued.
… BUT some work ahead
On the other hand, it is clear that if the principles and precepts of the game are well assimilated, especially defensively, at the other end the offensive animation leaves much to be desired. Proof: at the Stade Verbeke, it was not until the very last minute to witness an attempt worthy of the name, signed Kérouedan. Skinny, the cat …
