“We are unhappy on the pitch”: facing Saint-Raphaël-Fréjus, a home comeback expected for Millau

Millavois have no choice but to find their colors at home. Archives T. C.

At 3:15 p.m., Som (11th) receives Saint-Raphaël-Fréjus (3rd), for a match that promises to be complicated, but oh so important.

A difficult match awaits Som again this afternoon at the Parc des sports. Coach Baptiste Majorel is aware of this: “With the previous results at home, we have opened the doors and all our opponents are coming to pick up points or even win at the moment. So we are still expecting a difficult match.“

“We are in a tough situation and unhappy on the pitch”

CARF (Saint-Raphaël Fréjus), today's opponent, is one of the big guns in the division and is having a very good first half of the season. This match against the third in the group, who does not hide his ambitions of qualification or even more, therefore promises to be complicated for the Somistes, in cruel lack of positive results since September.

“We are in a tough situation at the moment and unhappy on the pitch. The players give their all, but we have not yet been rewarded.” The Varois who have just beaten the leader, the Angles, by scoring six tries, will therefore be full of confidence to face the Millavoise team. Still according to the mentor of the city of the glove: “Facing a great and big CARF team, we must not make technical, tactical or even strategic errors, which have often penalized us this season.”

True to their habits, the players will have to be courageous and self-sacrificing, but above all efficient in scoring in the strong moments. This lack of concretization is glaring and we can see that the Som is the team in the group that has scored the fewest points by scoring few tries and by showing clumsiness with the foot. For Majorel, “iwe must no longer give points too easily to the opponent. We have worked on collective defense and it is better in that area. We may have, as a result, also neglected the attack, but we are working to be more offensive and score.”

To maintain the hope of staying up, plus the choice for Som, it is necessary to impose itself today by finding efficiency and confidence, by using its always irreproachable state of mind “We are united and close-knit. We work in a good mood and we, the staff, we try to find solutions and give the players several possibilities to get out of it. We must manage to make all that emerge in a match.” All that remains is to!
