Libourne FC 0-0 (1 tab to 3) TFC: Pettersson’s masterclass, I was there for you – LesViolets.Com

By Cédric Polizzi,

This trip I expected, because it was the Coupe de France, and it always has a special flavor. Those who follow us on Instagram generally know how my day unfolded. It was the first time that this type of format was offered to you on the site’s Instagram, and it was a pleasure to answer you during the trip, to spend part of the day with you.

We leave with Clement and Joanna from 7:30 am. No one on the road, except cars stuck in the middle lane: the right lane is not haunted, fall back to the right. We stop for a coffee at a motorway rest area singing “one station stop, two station stops“thinking of Indians. In short, we arrive in Libourne at 10:20 am to take our tickets. Let me tell you how kind the ticket office man was. I love this guy. Places taken, we move to Bordeaux to spend the early afternoon, before leaving for Libourne.

Arrived there, we join the parking lot, we cross paths Coralie, it’s nice. Pettersson and Duped come out to the applause of Toulouse residents, while the Indians arrive a few minutes later at the same time as the rest of the professional group leaves. We can feel the scent of the Coupe de France in the Jean-Antoine Moueix stadium, but very disappointed not to be entitled to a refreshment bar worthy of this competition. The match begins. We are not going to lie to each other, in the first half, there is not much to remember. We were hot on the tackle Logan costa which could have been worth a penalty. But overall, we are disappointing. Some players have not been up to it for several meetings. Words are good, but actions are better. We made a move on all the duels. I want the team opposite to be at 200%, but there are limits to be had.

At half-time, things heat up between the Ultras U17 of Libourne and the Toulouse park. I don’t understand anything about what they are doing, but they seem happy.
The second half starts at a different pace: Libourne retreats, Toulouse attacks, sterilely, but attacks. Gradually, the Violets take the physical ascendancy and are dangerous on several occasions without scoring. I think back to Begraoui who takes a year to strike when he is in a good position, or Teen which misses I do not know how its opportunity in the 89th. We have a thrill when the opposing attacker swings a center, well captured by Pettersson on the ground. The Libournais supporters feel that the feat is possible, and so comes the penalty shoot-out. The yard gives voice to its Swedish keeper. If the session was crazy, it is in large part thanks to Pettersson who performed very well on this exercise, pulling out three saves, and what saves.

The latter comes directly to see the yard after the session, just like the rest of the team, brought by Bibiche.
Hats off to the Libournais goalkeeper and their team who had a good football match, with their means. Now, we are going to have to put our heads right side up and rediscover a certain requirement in our performances, because there are things to review.

In the meantime, Toulouse supporters are once again irreproachable, and we are expecting many of you against Sochaux. Bring your families, your friends, your girlfriend or boyfriend, and let’s go for the victory. Together. Forza Viola!
