Philippe Montanier did not hide his happiness after the qualification of the TFC for the final of the Coupe de France.
Toulouse did not fail. Opposed to Annecy in the semi-final of the Coupe de France, the TFC has indeed won its ticket to the Stade de France thanks to a 2-1 victory in Haute-Savoie. A historic victory since the Haut-Garonne club had not been in the Cup final for 66 years.
Philippe Montanier could therefore savor. And this despite the poor performance of his troops. “It’s very strong emotions, an emotional lift, this game, confided the Haut-Garonnais coach. We must congratulate Annecy because we went through a little mouse hole but as we often say, in the cup the main thing is to qualify. This brings us to a final. We are very happy with the result. There is a great emotion with the communion with our public. We can’t get enough of it because it’s not the first time with our supporters. The purple people have been waiting for this moment for 66 years and it was up to us to do the right thing. »
“It was very difficult but it was done, he continued. Annecy was carried by its public and put a lot of intensity. We did not adapt to the terrain which is far but far from good. But it was above all Annecy that put us in difficulty. We weren’t very good, but there’s a bit of a pitch because FCA plays on this lawn every fortnight. So it’s our worst match in the Coupe de France so far but it’s the most important. We will savor. »
