Stade-Français Paris continues to suffer defeats.
This Saturday, the Parisians lost against Castres Olympique despite having played in numerical superiority for 60 minutes after a red card received by Castres Adrea Cocagi in the 21st minute of play.
This new defeat continues to plunge Stade-Français to the bottom of the rankings.
Questioned after the meeting via L’team, Paris sporting director, Laurent Labit gave an update on the situation.
He expresses his great frustration. Extract:
“In each match, we have something new or a lot of dissatisfaction. There, in the first half, we entered Castres’ 22 meters six times to score 0 points. It’s because of our current state of mind and our lack of confidence. We take three offensive penalties on supports! It’s difficult. The momentum would have been different if we had been able to put more pressure on them. Throughout the match, we were unable to score every time we entered Castres’ 22 meters.
We always make mistakes in our defensive system, with players who arrived this season. They have to integrate the system, there are still players whose first match was today. Last season, we had a very good defense but we also made mistakes. But we always had someone to compensate or catch up. There, every time we make a mistake, we are immediately punished and we have no ability to react. We are looking for solutions. We must remain united within the club, behind the team. »
One thing is certain: the ouster of Karim Ghezal did not allow Stade-Français to create the expected shock.
Saturday afternoon, the Parisians took on water from the start, on the Castres pitch. They were already down 17-3 after 20 minutes, after two tries scored by Geoffrey Palis and Will Collier.
If some Parisian players say they are not worried, we will still have to remember to face the truth at some point.
Stade-Français is in 13th place in the Top 14, just ahead of Vannes.
