"We are careful and focused"

  • Sylvain Bégon

Before Nevers' reception at the Stade des Alpes, Sylvain Begon, the FCG forwards coach, wants to moderate expectations around the Pro D2 leader.

Your team played an almost perfect game in Angoulême. Have you arrived or do you still have work to do?

"No, it's never perfect. There is always work to be done. I think the answer is in the question. Well, on the other hand, we did have a rather successful match, of good quality, which we mastered rather well. We know that there is still a lot of work to be done. And that we also know that games are not necessarily the same. So we're still very attentive and very focused about the game ahead. And, above all, we are not going to rest on our laurels. "

Nevers is currently twelfth, but this does not reflect the value of this team

"The ranking, today, it doesn't mean much. We are indeed first. But there is still a lot of time left. Nevers is far behind in the standings, but they missed their early season a little bit, for different reasons. In particular, many wounded. We know the quality of this team, their ambitions. We won't be surprised on Sunday, we'll have a very tough game at 2 pm. "

This match will also be difficult due to its conditions?

"It will be a novelty, at least for us. Because we haven't played again, since the beginning of the season, in very bad conditions. Nevers, I don't know how they'll approach him. In any case, it's going to be a tough game, in which we'll have to really get involved, a lot, to hope to win. "

As often you will make turnover on this match. Is this to involve everyone?

"That's exactly what it is. We've been saying that since the beginning of the season. And I think that every time we go out, there are changes happening. That's right, because we also want as many players as possible to participate. They train hard all week. We have a fairly homogeneous level. The idea is to keep a coherent team, but each time, make some changes to continue to have a good dynamic and create emulation between players. That is indeed still the goal this weekend. I hope we're not mistaken in doing this kind of thing. "
