“I'm proud of you. We didn't succeed in everything, but we had chances, they were there… We pushed them, these guys! It's positive for the future! We have to keep this state of mind, because there are very interesting elements in our game. Obviously, there are regrets, because there was really something to do, but we are on the right track Our time will come too, I'm sure of it.
It would have needed a little more craziness, just a little extra touch. We will continue to work for each other. Honestly, it's hard for everyone, there's a lot of frustration, but we're still moving forward. We have 15 days to work, and we know that we have a big match coming up (editor's note: against Montpellier). The internationals will leave, but we will continue to work hard. We are preparing and we continue to move forward together.”
