Fabien Alexandre signed a new 3-year contract with the FCG
You just extended the adventure with the FCG, what are your first feelings?
"I re-sign for 3 years at the FCG. It might be one of my last contract, it will be clear if at 35, my body will continue to follow and I can extend, but I think first and foremost today and I am extremely proud. "
Is it a lot for you to extend with the FCG?
"The club is in a delicate position, but the managers knew how to reassure me. Today they trust me and offer me to continue the adventure. I thank them for that because it means that I will still be able to battle on the field with this "Red & Blue" shirt that I like so much. "
The situation of the club which is complicated did not frighten you?
" Honestly, no ! Of course we also talk about the hypothesis of a descent. If we were to go down, the objective is clear, to do everything to make it a transition year and go back right away. I know the Pro D2, I know where we are going to put our feet and where I will have to put my head if unfortunately we had to go down. My future is linked to the club: I will play where it will play. Today I think only of one thing, to fight to maintain ourselves. "
You feel that your status has changed in the team, that the club intends to rely on you?
"Yes, it is necessarily a pride, but also a responsibility to see that we count on me. I think I created this status of "leader" gradually by the number of matches that I have played and also by seniority. I really take it as a pride. "
Do you have a message that you would like to pass on to supporters who today are in doubt?
"Yes, today it is obvious that we are all very disappointed with our results. But these are moments in the life of a club. Our duty is not to let go of always going forward and raising our heads, we owe it to the supporters. I can assure you that all players who are there, all players who will continue the adventure believe in this project. Our supporters must believe in it to the end and continue to encourage us because we need it. "
