Zapping World Fifteenth Grand Slam, competition with Léo Coly, Mondial 2023 …
The bad streak is finally broken. Montauban’s team went to home win against Massy (25-12) on Friday, which allowed them to breathe a little and move away from the red zone. The team changes made this week, with the disqualification of David Gérard and the hiring of Pierre-Philippe Lafond as head of the professional team, seem to have paid off. At least for this game.
This victory must now serve to trigger a new dynamic for the Montauban players. Because a single match won will be useless, and keeping it is really far from certain. But on the third line Quentin Witt at least wants to believe that this success against Massy has given the group some confidence, as he confided in La Dépêche.
The watchword of the week was to win this match, advancing on impacts, collisions and conquest. Contract concluded, without having played good rugby. In our situation, we will leave it a little aside. We will just be pragmatic. Massy is disappointed because they have popped this game. We responded with victory to get out of the relegation zone. PP Lafond simply asked us to be pragmatic and efficient. This is what we lacked in Aix-en-Provence. He restored the team’s confidence.
(…) We know that we must not get carried away. It is easier to federate in trust. We have just learned that next week we will be leaving for an internship to work further on cohesion. Now it’s all for the win. I don’t give a fuck we only win 3-0, I just want to win. We will have to move forward together to get back into the soft underbelly of the standings.
With or without a way, for the moment the victory will be enough for Montauban.
to summarise
Montauban could smile on Friday night, having finally found his way to victory against Massy. Quentin Witt hopes that this victory is the beginning of something positive for his team, which now has to think only of victory, with or without a road.
