A few moments after the slap received at Valence-Romans 42-19, Brive players and coaches obviously looked like bad days. Very bad days, even.
“We were terrible at simple things, at basics. I saw very little desire on our part, I don't know if it's a lack of respect but clearly, this type of behavior bothers me. behaviors.”
Valence-Romans – Brive: it's time for your notebook
Pierre-Henry Broncan was obviously angry when he appeared at the press conference. A cold anger for the manager of the CAB who seemed, hotly, not to be able to find an explanation for the collective failure of his troops at Valence-Romans.
87 points conceded in two matches in Valencia
Because this is indeed a failure for Corréziens, absent from the debates and once again corrected. In two matches played in the Drôme, Brive conceded 87 points. Yes, 87 points.
For Lucas Da Silva, clearly touched by this slap, shame was mixed with anger.
“It's complicated to come and explain this defeat. I'm really annoyed with myself with this yellow card that I'm taking. We didn't respect our supporters who made the trip and that hurts me. We knew what we were getting was waiting and yet… The next three, four days are going to be difficult, we're going to get knocked down and it will be totally deserved.”
