How was the week after the hammer blow against Biarritz at home?
“It was complicated at first just to digest the defeat and the last twenty minutes which hurt us a lot. We put things back in place on Monday with good cohesion in the morning, the group is ready to leave and return to combat ”.
So the season is not over, there is still hope for maintenance?
“It’s not over until the last game is played. We will take the matches one by one and we will do the accounts at the end ”.
Maintenance now goes through exploits, as we know …
“By achievements and by a lot of desire, courage and above all a lot of solidarity between players, with the staff and especially with the outside world. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. “
Are you looking at the leaderboard right now or avoiding it?
“We always watch him because we always have to count the points but we try to stay focused on us and take game after game. We will see who will be in front, who will be behind at the end ”.

In Colomiers, which remains despite its defeat in Grenoble, on a good dynamic, you expect a complicated game?
“Yes and that’s going to go through a lot of fighting. We know it’s a team that never gives up. They took a little slap in Grenoble but we know that they will be waiting for us firmly, that they will want to play a big game against us. We, on the day of the match, we will be ready ”.
They will be revenge for their defeat on the way to Pompidou …
“Especially yes, for the first game of the season where we pocketed our first victory. I think they still have it in their throats, so it will be a big fight ”.
“With the club, we are well advanced”
After a defeat like the one against Biarritz, it might not be worse to go to Colomiers without complex?
“Exactly, we will have nothing to lose like in Perpignan after a big defeat against Mont-de-Marsan. History of putting things back in place, showing our solidarity and moving forward ”.
Do you consider, especially after a few contentious decisions against Biarritz, to be arbitrated like little ones?
“Not necessarily because we know that the arbitration will go in favor of the one who dominates the impacts, who dominates on the ground so if we get there, the arbitration will follow and that should roll (smile)”.
What is the reason for this lack of consistency during matches?
“I think it’s learning the high level, after that we have to be able to stay regular and stable over 80 minutes. We have moments of high, low, now we have to manage to pass a course and remain strong throughout the duration of the match ”.

Is not being overused this season hard to live with?
“We get used to it, knowing that I have a lot of competition. You must always not let go, show that you are present and at some point it will pay off. This weekend, it should do it. Afterwards, I hope there will be a sequence and for the rest, I think it’s a good omen. “
Will you still be here next season?
“With the club, we are well advanced. Normally, it should be done in the coming days. “
Are you reassured by the ” Checkers 2024 ” project?
“The VRDR is a club with great ambitions and it’s a great project. We manage to project ourselves into it and therefore for a young player who needs playing time, it’s a good opportunity to continue. “
