Tours is a playful team that we knew, but we too are quite playful, we showed it this season where we have competed with everyone. We had not been too lucky this season (we finished 6th in the hen when we had the means to make 3rd or 4th) that is seen today because we still dominated this team of Tours which is a very nice team. A team that looks like us in the physical aspect, youth and the desire to play. We were more disciplined than them, especially in the second half, I am very proud of this is what we have been looking for since the start of the season: having a daring and playful disciplined team! At the end of the match we knew how to keep the ball until the final whistle and that too I am proud! »»
