Before meeting French Cup between Libourne and Toulouse, the coach Philippe Montanier presented himself to the microphones of the press. The coach wants to play the competition thoroughly, in particular to use this momentum and create a dynamic in the league. TéFéCé will face FC Libourne outside, a match prepared like any other, according to him.
« The cup is a good energizer in our championship. Victories call for victories, and we want to play all these matches there thoroughly. This match is very important for us, we want to qualify at all costs. We have to find a good balance, we will not play with eleven young people, but young people who work well will have the opportunity to start the game. »
« I have already been to the other side, with Boulogne-sur-Mer in CFA. We went to the quarter-finals by eliminating Ligue 1! I know very well the situation of Libourne, the speech they will have. We have to expect a very difficult match, in this competition which is the most capricious. Hierarchy no longer has much meaning. It’s up to us to be up to this match. We feel they are well prepared. “
Philippe Montanier also answered a question about Toulouse supporters, many expected in Libourne: “It’s a real contribution, and it’s not demagoguery! The players feel it, I remember that in Pau, when you see all this lively platform singing, it boosts. We have been so weaned from it, we are even more sensitive to it. The “cut” context outside is particular, the fact of having supporters who are there is a plus. “
