Jean-Francois Exiga
Jean-François, serious things will start with this first game of the Coupe de France.
It’s part of the main goal of the club. This is a final, it is very important to win the Coupe de France for Tours. We are favorites, and we do not hide it.
Your latest results speak in your favor (two wins 3-1).
It doesn’t mean anything, although we won twice 3-1 in the regular season. They gave us hard times in every meeting. Especially since this is a final and therefore the counters are reset to zero, as in the play-offs.
Do you fear the training in Toulouse?
This is a team that plays very nice volleyball, the team is young and has nothing to lose in the final. It will play its game and give everything. We’ll have to be careful.
Especially as Toulouse had to beat Nantes, Cannes and Narbonne, big names to make their way to the final.
It is clear, they beat top teams in the championship. This is a tough team to play, which hangs on every ball.
Is French Cup also important for TVB as the French Championship?
Both competitions are important. We must win every trophy. We have already won the Supercup in this season.
A victory would build up your confidence before the playoffs against Rennes.
Exactly. But as I said, for the play-offs, we present the counters. We will move first to Rennes, this will be a difficult match coming just after the Cup final.
