Satisfied to have validated against Castres this Saturday the success obtained a week earlier in Lyon, Clermont coach Christophe Urios used an astonishing metaphor to talk about these two performances.
Clermont has the wind at its back. After an irregular start to the season, the Jaunards have a string of victories. Three in a row for Christophe Urios' team. On Saturday, ASM beat Castres, the former club of the Clermont coach, 54-10, for the 11th day of Top 14. A success acquired a week after a victory gleaned away, on the lawn of the LOU (22-30).
A good result which was essential for Christophe Urios. “When you win away and you can't win at home, it's like slow dancing with your sister, it's useless in fact,” said the ASM coach at Canal+ microphone.
Urios like Diego Maradona
Using the image of slow with his sister in sport is not an invention of the charismatic Clermont coach. Before him, Diego Maradona had also released the same kind of metaphor.
“Arriving in the box and not taking a shot on goal is like dancing with your sister,” the Argentine football idol once said.
If he likes punchlines, Christophe Urios also knows how to analyze matches and even praise the performance of his players: “What I appreciate is that we never gave up. For 80 minutes, we refused to take tests and we always wanted to score more Today, I saw a team and that's good. We found the taste for work, our weeks are good and I'm enjoying it and I recognize myself in it. this team, not last year. We had a monolithic profile, a compact first line, and we became diabolical with our playing identity. We were in danger tonight, but we knew how to be tough.”
