Antonin D’Hondt, we can imagine the regrets after this defeat on the wire to Saran, the leader of Proligue …
” Yes and no. Yes because we could have snatched the draw despite the fact that we were chasing the score the whole match. No, because we gave everything in the face of a contender for the climb. Of course we would have liked to create a sensation, but we came home with our heads held high. There are not many teams that have achieved what we have achieved on the Saran field. Besides, we went there without Dylan (Grandjean) and Aurélien (Padolus) , injured. In terms of rotations, we were a bit short. But we still responded to the physical challenge. We were all burned out at the end of the match. “
You occupy the penultimate place in Proligue, four points behind Besançon. Are you worried about the situation?
“It’s not the best position, for sure, but nothing is settled. We still have a lot of matches to play. We will have to win quickly to regain momentum. We will be keen to have a big match in Nancy on Friday. “

“Like a bunch of friends”
You are the youngest player (19 years old) on the team. Is it difficult to find a place in this group?
“Not at all because the group is ultimately quite young. We’re like a bunch of friends. I have more playing time because there was the departure of Mikkel Moller (in December). The leaders trust me, I’m alone on the left wing now. There is more pressure and I have to learn to manage it a little better. You tell yourself you have to be good for the team. There is a responsibility. The leaders are happy with what I am showing. “
What aspects of your game do you still need to improve?
“I have to improve my mind, that I manage the pressure better. And then on my game, I also had progress in attack and defensively to set up, even if I am a little better on the last point. I have more success in shoots in my last matches, I have to continue to perform. “
Friday is derby night against Grand Nancy …
“A derby cannot be played, it has to be won (laughs ). We must bring back a positive result, another big game awaits us. “
