“It was a tough, tight game. We expected it. I want to congratulate the players on this victory, won in a different way than usual, with great defensive solidity. I think it is deserved, given the strength displayed. The priority was to be balanced. […] I think today the team has been very mature. It was not spectacular but we conceded very little to the opponent. […] This ranking (4th of l1) is deserved for the players. We continue to run the clock, take points and win matches. It’s a rather exceptional group, which gives everything and never complains. We are missing a victory to achieve our first objective, which is maintenance., thus dropped the former Rennes coach in front of the media. At this rate, it shouldn’t take much longer.
