If they bowed on their prosecution after extra time against Rueil, the players of the slams ensured their maintenance. What relieve their coach and president, even if they would have preferred to do so by winning.
What is your feeling after this setback?
Sébastien Bozon : It’s a bit the same match as in Val-de-Seine, except that there, we did not put the throws. We really had room to win, it’s a shame, but it’s sport.
What do you remember after this match, defeat or maintenance?
SB : It’s hard to rejoice after a defeat, I never happened to keep myself on a defeat. We would have preferred to win tonight. You have to know how to savor a little, because I came for that, but there I still have a little trouble.
We still felt a little emotion at the end of the match?
SB : When you put so much intensity and with my methods, I do not cheat, so there is a little emotion. Especially since it was really hard, I took 2 years in 8 months. There are too many technical errors, loss of bullets still this evening that clearly cost us the match, but it is not a surprise, it has been the case since the start of the season.
Does this defeat taint this evening a little?
SB : I no longer even want to come back to this match and this season which was shitty and catastrophic. It was a nightmare, although we were able to have great performances, but it comes to forceps, because we have no margin. There is a clearness of talent in this team, but I am proud of guys to have fought and not to have cheated.
What will be the goal of the last two games?
SB : To win as always, especially the last one at home for the public who was once again present with a great atmosphere. They saw this evening a beautiful match against a very nice unbeaten team on the return phase, but unfortunately the victory is missing.
With this officially acquired maintenance, can we fully think about it?
SB Yes, the leaders will be much more serene, like the whole club, because the objective is acquired and it was really hard. We had an incalculable number of injuries. I have never seen that: guys want to be professional, but they have something for some and a lifestyle that does not correspond to what a professional player is all the time.
Sébastien Bozon Ecoustif over his future: ” The phone rings, I’m not going to hide it, we’re going to chat with the leaders. »
You came to register in the project, will you be there next year?
SB : I never just stay in a club. The phone rings, I’m not going to hide it, we’re going to chat with the leaders, but I found an extremely nice club. Managers who left me carte blanche with the methods that are mine and on recruitment when I arrived. I was able to work as I wanted and I thank them. I really found a pleasant atmosphere on a daily basis.
Have you ever thought about what you want for next season?
SB : If I’m here next year, I have almost already my team. I know what I want to do. I’m going to take guys who know me and are used to my working methods. They are experienced guys, capable of holding a wardrobe and who prevent the latter on a lollipop and turning against you.
You will have the bad role to tell some that you no longer count on them …
SB : It’s a part of the job I hate, but it’s part of the job. We necessarily have links with guys throughout the year and it’s quite hard but you have to do it.
