Vincent Amsellem (back of the CSP, 8 pts) : “A lot of disappointment, it was a match that mattered to us and to the supporters. We didn’t get into the game well as we were supposed to and we paid for it in the end with offensive rebounds and three-point shots. In the first half, there were plenty of defensive situations where we didn’t put enough pressure on the ball and it came too easily inside. They’re a good team up front but they’re still Pro B, we should have outclassed them physically. We always raced late and shot too many three-pointers. In atmospheres like that, with changes of leader, it becomes difficult to manage at the end. “
Jean-Marc Dupraz (CSP coach) : “What was missing was alternation, to provoke more fouls and throws. We take 40 three-point shots, that’s a lot. At some point, you have to find other options. They defended well, protected their circle well. It’s pretty good defensively. The two times we went back in front, they made three-point shots straight away. We missed these key moments. We know that you play a Pro B and that they are overmotivated. There is a big rivalry, we felt that there were veterans in the stands who still think about Pau-Limoges. It’s a shame to come out of the Coupe de France. »
Bastien Pinault (6 pts) : “It’s cool to see the Palace a little more full with a nice atmosphere, especially on the last throws. The game plan was to fight, which we had lacked in the last two matches. The result was not very important in the idea, we wanted to show something else in the way. We wanted to limit Nicolas Lang and be present defensively, we fulfilled the contract. We must be in this idea and not forget that our playing philosophy will involve defense. We started the season on this basis of intensity. We will always score points with the team we have but we must advance on the opponent. Through intention and desire, good things flow. »
Mickael Hay (Elan coach) : “In the commitment, it was better but I expect even better. We have already done much better in the past. Letting go doesn’t mean rushing. In the first half, we rushed and didn’t let the game come to us. Well done to the boys who went to get her. It’s good to have a round, to win a Clasico for the public. It won’t be a trivial match if we win on Friday. What interests me is Saint-Chamond. We put more pressure on the ball, we didn’t get holes defensively on the outside. As a player, I had lost the first two. I feel like there are some people who are very happy tonight. We have a job where we want to make ourselves happy but also make people happy. It’s a beautiful evening. »
