"We take this game as a derby"

  • Gaëtan Germain
  • FCG - VRDR

The FCG full back, Gaëtan Germain, talks about the derby between Grenoble and Valence-Romans, a game that is necessarily special for him

The defeat at Mont-de-Marsan

"That's it, it's gone. But it's true that at the end of the game, we were very disappointed, a little upset, because we had the game in our hands, with a quarter of an hour to go. We couldn't keep the score. So that was very negative. We were a little upset about that. After that, we have the chance to switch back to another game right away. And we hope not to repeat these mistakes and have a good game on Friday night. "

A sense of revenge for this match

"Above all, what annoys us, we hold the games and we have trouble finishing them. So we had a lot of discussions among ourselves. We need to be more rigorous and more solid in the last 15 minutes, to stop taking tries like that. "

A real derby against Valence-Romans

"Yes, we take it as a derby. It's 45 minutes away. We all know that many Romains and Valentinois will make the trip. So maybe it'll be a little more crowded than usual at the stadium. It's a home game. We always need to reassure ourselves and take points at home. So we take it very seriously and we're going to try to make a very good game on Friday night. "

A special game for you

"It's special. That's where my parents live. That's where I grew up. I only played a year at Romans, but most of all, I have more memories when I was following my father. Because he had been playing Romans all his life. I have many memories. It's true that this is a rather special game for me. Especially since I remember when I was a kid, that I was going to support Dad. It was with the Romans club. "

A happy event

"A very special week for me. We're still  on our little cloud. I hope that the week will end well with a victory and it will really be nothing but happiness. I only missed one day of training. It's so much happiness, I hope it will continue and that it will bring me something positive on the field. "

The family behind you

"The family... Well, then, not my wife. Not my wife and baby. But, otherwise, my parents are coming. I have to see to take places. There are a lot of people coming up there. And, there you go, it's great that it's next door and that there are people coming. "
