He was very angry last weekend and had a complicated week with strong criticism from a former player. But this weekend, for Christophe Urios, everything was better after his players' victory against a big team in the championship: Bordeaux.
“Matches like this are important”
The ASM manager is still disappointed on this offensive bonus point lost at the end of the match. It's a little stuck in his throat but overall, the feeling remains very positive. Especially against this Gironde team once again. The slap received last week against Stade de Français was ultimately a necessary trigger, perhaps.
What I liked was actually the victory even if I think we deserved the offensive bonus. I liked the ability to start the game well and take on the Bordelais on their strong point, the physical dimension (…) Matches like that are important. We beat a high level team, very high level in fact. And beat her on her strengths, well, I'm going to drink a good beer tonight (…) Clearly, it was a good vintage tonight.
The week was complicated because when you can't do what you want, it sucks. There are players who have pride, it stings. But we have a group that needs to be jabbed.
ASM Clermont Auvergne finishes this first block in the Top 6, but the Clermontois will now have to learn to win away from home if they hope to remain among the qualifiers. It will start at the end of the month, in Lyon, but before that, time for vacation.
To summarize
He was very angry last weekend and had a complicated week with strong criticism from a former player. But this weekend, for Christophe Urios, everything was better after his players' victory against a big team in the championship: Bordeaux.
