Caen finds itself five points behind Clermont

“That’s the lot of our matches at the moment. We have a lot of chances and we struggle to score. If this allows us to turn things in our favor for the future, and to create more opportunities, then everything will be fine.

On met Caen (dam operator) five points now. It's good. The context in Caen makes it hard. A change of coach is always damaging. It happened to me. We know that when we play against teams with this difficult side, the supporters who express their dissatisfaction, we know that scoring quickly in the match can help to gain a big advantage. We didn't succeed, but we knew how to be patient and score at the end.

We have to savor, recover and prepare for the next match. It will still be away against Martigues. »
