Was the elimination in the Coupe de France against Nantes digested?
Yes Yes of course. In the locker room, as soon as the match was over, I congratulated the players. We fought well, even if we were not at the level in certain moments. Now there are five league games left to achieve the goals we have set ourselves.
The CCMHB loses against Nantes after a disputed match
Do better than last year, right?
We finished with 22 points last season, and it’s important to keep improving. Even if we are almost in the same zone, we want to do a little better and still take at least three points. Afterwards, if it’s six or eight, I don’t say no! But we know that we still have to play Paris and Montpellier, and we are well aware of the difficulty. Even in Nancy, next week, it will be hard. Because for them, it will be the game of the very last chance. If they lose, it will be over.
They have the ability to score at least 35 goals in every game, that’s impressive. Even when you make 20 saves, you’re not sure you’ll leave them under 30 goals.

How do you approach this match against Paris?
It is a team that is already champion, and it will have in mind its disappointment on Thursday in the Champions League, in Kiel. But he still has the final of the Coupe de France, and I think the Parisians want to make the perfect championship, with thirty victories. Maybe it’s a good time to play them, because they will have a day of travel in their legs and only one practice. But hey, they don’t need to prepare for the match against us… For us, it will be the same thing as against Nantes: to offer the best possible show to those who come to La Halle. For this, you have to be a competitor for sixty minutes. Against Nantes, we committed 1,000%, and everyone saw it. No one was disappointed at the VIP. We expect the same thing against Paris. Our obligation, at home, is to commit fully. Against these teams, we don’t need to motivate the players.

What impresses you about this Parisian team?
It’s a team that puts an incredible impact, with templates, guys of 120 kg for some. And they play fast, fair, with an ability to shoot outside, play with the wingers, move the ball… They have the ability to score at least 35 goals in each match, it’s impressive. Even when you make 20 saves, you’re not sure you’ll leave them under 30 goals. It’s nice to see them play.
