At the end of the match against Clermont, the manager of Toulon, Pierre Mignoni was completely out of his depth. Furious, the coach even had to be restrained by his players, who were also angry after this one-point defeat (19-18). Despite the anger, Pierre Mignoni presented himself at a press conference.
“I will not talk about my anger tonight”
As reported by our colleagues from Le Figaro, the coach did not want to dwell too much on the reasons for his anger but some of his words are a very clear dig at refereeing, such as the following sentence: “We took a point, I’ll say it again, that’s good, but we lost three tonight“. Pierre Mignoni’s anger is not directed against the Clermontois, whom he congratulated. He also praised the great mentality of his players who, like him, harbor a lot of frustration.
Congratulations to Clermont who won and who took advantage of our indiscipline to get back into the game. I still congratulate my players who played a good match. It came down to details, especially in the rain (…) We still come back with a good point but I am sad for my players who had a very good state of mind, as they have since the start of the season. However, we were able to be in control, especially in the rain. But the two or three times we weren’t, it immediately cost us dearly (…) I won’t talk about my anger this evening, we’ll remain dignified, and we’ll watch the video, but right now I don’t want to talk and I’m going to calm down.
