SAINT-ETIENNE - TOULOUSE: 0-0

This match was under high tension for a team Toulouse relégable prior to the meeting. Prepared "commando order" a week, men Olivier Sadran brought a good point of Cauldron (0-0), while traveling dangerous in terms of statistics. While the situation may not arranges little (19e), the mood seems to be found on the side of High Garonnais. The AS Saint-Etienne (11e) have advanced over the past three matches ... And lost each time to widen the gap with the relegation zone, which is ultimately just five lengths. The Club de la Ville Rose ruled radio silence throughout the week to wash new house and find solutions to its location sport judged "dramatic" by the president Sadran. This camera, decided shortly after the rout face Sochaux at Stadium (1-2), a seemingly brought a new state of mind in the collective Toulouse which marked a precious point in the context of the final sprint to the maintenance. Just the image of the president Sadran, arm in arm with Fodé Mansaré, a club that breathes a little better "provided by shackling a victory at home", as recalled Captain Dominique Arribagé at the end of the meeting. "Points of Hope" As a symbol, Elie Baup started his "Operation Rescue" in Saint-Etienne, a club he knows well for having led in the past. The former resident of Geoffroy-Guichard could not hide his joy at the final whistle of Mr Malige. "We showed we wanted to fight and not to let it go. Spirit is there, it does lack a certain accuracy in the final pass. Taken All points are points of hope. Facing St. Etienne, a formidable team at home, we did not hesitate to go and get them up ", the technician fell High garonnais. This match, disputed in a pouring rain in the first period, would certainly not remain etched in the minds of the 25000 supporters who had taken place in the stands. The balloon, which had nothing to envy a piece of soap, played many rounds with twenty-two players of this meeting. The rare occasions, most often distant gunfire, did little opportunity for the public to ignite. It was necessary to wait until the 13rd minute to see a centre Dernis landed on the head of Gomis. The block Toulouse, wanted and worked by Elie Baup during the past week did little space to local attackers, some set bells ringing in this encounter, like Feindouno and Gomis. Finally, Nicolas Douchez spent an evening rather quiet, except on a personal action of Payet who repiquait in the axis and décochait strike a left flush with the pole of the doorman Toulouse (57e). Proof of their volatility, Stéphanois not trying their luck than twenty-five meters or more (23rd, 43rd, 46th, 55th, 63rd, 78th) without ever cause big problems at the rear of Toulouse. The expulsion of Sall (87e) for a big foul on Illunga, had upset the final rush of premises. The TFC does not benefit but ensured the point of a tie. The main thing is there as recalled by the master Toulouse, Dominique Arribagé. "It has taken a good foundation. There has been a lot of discussion this week to put things in place," he noted. The TFC seems back on the right track, but it will now have to win to improve this result, synonymous with hope. Quite a challenge for a team which has taken just six points out of the eleven matches and whose last best attacker was silent for more than three months. THE DECLA: Elie Baup (coach of Toulouse) "In our situation, make a point with this fighting, the harassment high enough reward the efforts of the players. In terms of points, there is still much to do but this is the point of hope. The hope is always the best when it starts a game. With a little vista in the last pass and lucidity, we might have been able to get more than zero. We were not too upset except in the first quarter of hour of the second period. Championship is very complicated and will be until the end. Nobody wants to go down in Ligue 2. Everybody is trying to do his match. Saint-Etienne could have hurt us early in the second period. For us, the motto is not to let go in an operation about three months and ten matches. "
