"Prepare for a high intensity game"

The Challenge Cup

"Of course, we're going to play it, even if there's going to be a bit of turnover, because there's a need to make a few players breathe. But this competition will also allow players who are part of this team to play for time. We will try to see a little bit of each other's behaviour, to prepare the next step. So it's an important game. We're going to try to put as much quality and concentration as possible into it. The opponent is to be feared, it is a beautiful team, which plays in a strong league. So there's everything to fear and it's up to us to mobilize ourselves to make the best possible match. "

The opponent of the FCG

"Treviso is in a different league from ours. When we prepared this match, we saw that it was a league that played a lot, with less time off. These are teams that are used to setting the pace, with a lot of volume. Our league is perhaps a little more rugged, with more fighting and less play time sequences. You have to prepare for a game of high intensity. And for that, you have to prepare as well as you can, as we did this week. And set the table again on Saturday. "

The qualification

"We didn't talk about qualification, we'll try to be as good as we can be. I think that in order to respect everyone, all the people who work every day, it is out of the question, as we did two years ago, to come back with suitcases full of luggage from our travels in the European Cup. We prepared it as we could have prepared a championship match, with the same concentration, the same quality. There is a lot of turnover so it is necessary to find collective automatisms. We haven't made any plans, except to use these matches to keep working, to keep moving forward with the collective project. And then to see individual players again so that they can return to the championship group in two weeks. We'll need everyone. "
