« We couldn’t afford to do better. We quickly realized that we had no legs. Our transition phases were too slow. It was tough, but still interesting. A while ago, we could have lost this match. It’s good not to have taken a goal against such an opponent (Dijon) […] Given our situation, this is progress for the team. The impact is linked to this energy problem. In standing situations, many of their players are over 1.87m tall. Competing with this type of players when you are tired is tough and you have to stay focused […] We have to put things back in their place. I repeat that on the data from the Nantes match at Le Havre these are high intensity data. We had five days of preparation. It’s not an excuse, there was a lot of fatigue, even if we did what was necessary to recover. I have almost 50% of my team in the defensive sector which was absent. We had no dynamism, we had to take a point and we took it well. »
