Delighted to have achieved a decisive success against the Pau Division with the added benefit of an offensive bonus point, the third tier Montpellier believes that the efforts made by the group and the staff from the beginning of the season begins to pay.
The Palois were very disappointed to be so dominated in the ground game, was this a sector you were targeting?
That was a part of it was: the game on the ground and what happened in the scrum, the ball carried, throwing in… I think the team today was quite effective at that. That’s what made us win this game.
The group went deep into their reserves to get this offensive bonus point, what does it represent?
This point is an achievement. Accomplishment of everything we have done since the beginning of the season: we work well, the group lives well but we don’t always get paid on the playground. The fact of going for this level at the last minute proves that we all want to go above and beyond for each other. That’s the most important thing.
?????????? ?? ??????? !
At the GGL Stadium, the duel between Montpellier and Pau was mastered by the Cistes. The locals took a 13-point lead at the break before rallying in the second half to win 30-3.

However, it was not won. The game was never put away, and ten minutes from the end this offensive bonus point seemed a long way off…
It’s true. But for once, we were able to maintain the same level of play from the first to the eighth minute, or even the eighty fifth. We knew how to keep them under pressure and eventually thwart them. Finally, they broke down in the 75th minute so good for us.
This bonus point is more psychologically satisfying…
That’s it. We are finally rewarding ourselves for our efforts. It’s always hard to feel like you’re getting the upper hand without getting a result at the end. Today, everything is compatible.
Your manager, Joan Caudullo, told us a few months ago, that you may not have been able to get this bonus point, what do you think?
Probably, yes. After that, with “ifs”… But it is true from the 75th and the attempt on “Yacou” that everything was clear in our heads: we had to go for this victory. Maybe this wasn’t what it used to be.
Could this be a benefit to the siege, that this match could be a boost?
We’ll see… Anyway, this one sounds good. Those five points are good but next week we go to another big team, Bordeaux, and we will try to have the best game.
What did you think of Yacouba Camara’s performance? What does it bring you every day?
“Yacou” is a hero serving the team. He sets an example on earth. He doesn’t need to speak with his achievements. Yacou you listen to it and you follow it, period. He is a leader through play and commitment and is valuable to the team. He has had a great start to the season. In my opinion, he has always improved at this level, but I think it shows more because the team as a whole is improving. This will make it shine even more and therefore better. I am very happy for him because he deserves it.
Where do you base your game, especially on the offensive side?
It is coming, little by little. The fundamentals are important to introduce play later. By the basics I mean defense and conquest. There, we manage to have a series of meetings where we are really serious about these sectors. Now we will be able to take advantage of the balls better because we have more confidence in our game It comes together: the basics give you confidence and confidence leading to a good attack.
