After having played his first minutes in "Rouge & Bleu", Loïc Godener will continue tomorrow in Nevers
You played your first game with the first team on the 7th round. Do you feel a form of relief?
"It took a little time. At first it was not very good. But work always pays. I'm glad to chain up and we'll see what that will give. Loïc was injured. I could play more than 5 or 10 minutes. I am happy. We'll see how it happens this weekend, trying to make a full game. "
You came from Racing 92 this summer. Did you need to change your horizon?
"Racing is complicated. The club has a different policy than here. There are a lot of stars, like Nyanga and others, I will not all quote them otherwise it will take a long time. It was complicated and they made me understand that it would have been even more complicated for me. After, Grenoble came, I discovered an interesting project. When we see Kilian Geraci, Gervais Cordin, Loïc Baradel, Antonin Berruyer, Pierre Mignot, Bastien Guillemin... It makes you want to be part of it! With Dewald, we talked about it. He told me that I had to start with the Espoirs and prove myself. I did my best. I took advantage of the good start of the Espoirs. I was able to show myself and he gave me a chance. "
Nevers is ambitious, but does not succeed for the moment to match his ambitions. Will we still have to be careful?
"Yes, we must be wary. This team is behind in the standings, but it has big individualities. This is not going to be an easy match, knowing that they do not chain good results, that they are going to play at home. They will put a strong team. We know that this is a game that will be played all along. This is not going to be easy at all. Today we are first. We know that we are expected everywhere, but we take the matches one after the other. The goal is to get as many points as possible. We are not going to play the ambitious one, but we worked all week to bring back as many points as possible from Nevers with a victory and if we can, with the bonus. We do not know how the game will happen. But the goal is to win. "
Away, the FCG has always shown a lot of character. This is an essential ingredient when you play away from Grenoble?
"Yes, we must. But at home also we showed character. In every match, we have this passage where we defend, we defend. We know we have to cling, not let go. We'll see what that gives. But until today, it has succeeded. We crossed our fingers and hopefully it will continue. "
