"Focus on ourselves"

  • Cyril Villain

A few days before the end of the championship, Cyril Villain, the defense coach of the FCG, recognizes that the "Rouge & Bleu" will progress only by themselves

The final sprint

"Of course we look a little what others do. But we try to focus on ourselves. Because the results depend mainly on our services. In any case, we had set ourselves the goal of finishing as best as possible to start the final phases on a good dynamic. Of course, ranking as best as possible is important. It's mostly about us. Afterwards, we are not involved in the results of the other teams. We know that Biarritz is not far away. We also know that we can quickly hang up the table if we bring back points from our next two trips. We know that we will have to put a little more on our last two games. Whether Dax or Narbonne. Faced with a team of Colomiers, which is certainly lacking in results, but we know the quality. We will have to make a big game. "

The match at Colomiers

"After, they had self-punished. That is true. Whether during the match or after-game on the Disciplinary Committee. They had committed a lot of irregularities. It is a team that is globally rather punished. Just like their last match. They often take yellow cards or red cards. So here, again, we will try to focus on ourselves. We know that we are able on our high points, to do good things. But also we showed a lot of irregularities throughout an entire match. We can not be constant for 80 minutes. It will be the goal this weekend. Especially focus on us. Of course, take into account the characteristics of the strategy that we have put in place to prepare this game. Especially focus on us. And then, Colomiers, it's their business. It's their problem to know what they want to put in place. It looks a little less. "

The points to take

"Of course, we must not leave any more on the way. Afterwards, it's true that we dropped some points. We have also been able to preserve it. Or go looking for it at the end of the match, as in Vannes where we will look for the 4 points of the victory in the money time. But also matches where we kept results while the end of the game was a tight little. I think we have, as I said, a tendency to be a bit irregular. And not having the ability to kill matches as we should do. I would say that if we were to have a big margin of progress by the end of the season, in perspective of the finals finals matches, we really need to improve. Because we can not afford to have 20, 30 minutes of lows and systematically let the teams come back to the score or give them the hope of looking for a positive result. We really need to work on it and put more consistency in all parts. "

The lack of consistency

"It's a lack of concentration. It's technical errors. These are mistakes, at a given moment, of lack of control over the discipline. Just like what we did in Narbonne where we decided to be very disciplined during the match and we did not know how to do it. Last week, against Dax, we have, on the contrary, been very very disciplined because we conceded only 5 fouls of regulation throughout the match. On the other hand, we had too much technical waste. Many very favorable opportunities, we did not know how to go behind the line enough to kill the match and not give them any hope. We must really progress and be more consistent. That this is not a weekend on the discipline, a weekend on defense, a weekend on balloons released conquest. We really need to work on this consistency. "
