The FCG lock Mickaël Capelli is back on the field after a 6-months injury, for the last game before the play-offs. He want to start the play-offs at the Stade des Alpes and bring back his Club in Top 14
The point that is missing
"No, the calculations, we do not want them at all. We, what we want, is to get the victory. Anyway, like every game, it's still the primary goal. After, we could settle for a defensive bonus point. But we know very well that, if we move there, to look for that, we will not get it. We are preparing this match to bring back points. We will have to be very serious. We do not have the right to make mistakes. And we really expect a big fight and we have been preparing for it all week. "
Soyaux-Angoulême
"It's not easy at all. We saw in the video what that gave. They have a lot of individualities. Even at the collective level, it plays a lot, it closes in defense. We really know that it will be complicated. So that's why, really, that we will have to be together, all united, and do everything to get this victory, despite everything. Because the bonus point, it's still a goal a little more minimal, we'll say. Like any team that plays at home, there are always supporters, in his stadium, in places that we know. It will be tricky. "
The barrage at the Stade des Alpes?
"Very important, because we know that a dam at home, it will be easier. Easier, that's for sure, because we think that the Stade des Alpes can be filled if we succeed. And, for us too, we play in a stadium that hosts fewer people compared to last season or past seasons. I think it would be good to re-fill it a little bit. "
The come-back
"It's the money time! It is true that it is very good. I enjoyed, despite everything, the injury of Leva Fifita. Who, lacking a pot, dislocated a finger. So, it made my return a little easier. But, it's true that it's good. I know it's going to be tough, because it's going to be my first game in six months now. I know that at the physical level, it will be complicated. But, when we have not played so long, generally, we always find resources to really get that energy. "
"It's nice, when you're with the injured, there's a good atmosphere. But, we're a rugby player. We are not there to do only muscu and cardio either. A huge desire. It's true that I really missed it. Mentally, it has been complicated. And there, to be able to find the grounds, to train, to find this atmosphere, that relieves. "
"[The hardest thing] is to be far from everything. It depends on the injuries. I see there, Alexandre Dardet, who had the Crusaders operated on. He's training, with the injured all week. Months, on mine, I had a month and a half without being able to sit down. So a month and a half to stay with my parents, without being able to move. After, I spent another 6 weeks in a rehabilitation center. It really took me away from the group. I think that's the most complicated thing. "
The objective
"What I want, like all the players here, is go as far as possible and bring this club back to the elite. "
