THE INTERVIEW WITH COACH VILA

How is the team working after these first 15 working days?

LV: « Everyone is in good shape, everything we could do, everyone was there. However, we still had a big week, we have two games. At a game, there is a perception of a load that is more emotional and stressful. There is additional emotional exhaustion. There is also this adrenaline which means that we can sublimate ourselves too. Since we have two games, the idea is really to share playing time and be able to play with maximum intensity. »

Vitalis Chikoko arrived a little late…How is his integration going?

LV: « Despite his delay, Vitalis Chikoko entered the game quickly. Of course, he did not do all the races we did at the beginning of the week. We have to share playing time carefully Today, Brice has more training volume, but Vitalis has playing experience which helped him into the team immediately. »
