Zapping World Fifteen 2024 6 Nations Calendar
After three defeats in three Top 14 matches, Franck Azéma, USAP manager, refuses to panic. The speech shows a little more pressure on the side of Aviron Bayonnais who, after a narrow victory against Perpignan, has chained two defeats with fairly significant score gaps (against Pau then against Clermont).
“Our content isn’t exactly great”
This situation means that the Basque club currently occupies the penultimate place in the ranking. For Grégory Patat, as we can read on France Bleu, the group must quickly resolve its problems so as not to fall too far behind the other clubs. Things are moving very quickly in the Top 14, there is no more time to lose, and not too many jokers to waste.
There is frustration. Frustration, because there were quite a few chances that didn’t go through (…) there are a lot of changes in this team, but we have to quickly look for these details because the others are moving forward. We have to find this link, because our content is not really great. We have to keep working. We have to work harder and even more than the others (…) There are only three weeks of competition, it’s still too early to talk about pressure. This group needs to reassure itself and find an energy that will allow us to get back into the Top 14.
It’s not yet total panic, but we can feel that the Bayonne team is already putting itself under strong pressure to straighten out the situation.
To summarize
After three defeats in three Top 14 matches, Franck Azéma, USAP manager, refuses to panic. The speech shows a little more pressure on the side of Aviron Bayonnais who, after a narrow victory against Perpignan, have suffered two defeats. Grégory Patat already feels the importance of quickly, very quickly, getting things back on track.
