The debut in Arcachon, facing the Bassin, was not what Renaud Gourdon, the coach of C’Chartres Rugby, had hoped for. His players have completely missed their subject. Facing Drancy, for the premiere of C’Chartres at the Claude-Panier stadium for 329 days, this Sunday, September 12, the technician from Chartres expects a completely different performance from his players.

Renaud Gourdon, what did you say to yourself this week in relation to the inaugural defeat in Arcachon?
We simply said to ourselves that we had to continue to work hard, because, over there, we did not manage to set up our game. There are reasons that explain it: the collective bond in the organization and shared experience have been missed.
“No need to be shot! “
How do you explain it?
There is also a mental aspect. In Arcachon, we did not necessarily approach this match in the best possible conditions. We lacked commitment, in the first half, and offensive and defensive investment. We watched them play too much, in my opinion.
This first home match is of particular importance, for you, for your players …
All matches are important, especially the first one at home. As they say: you don’t have twice the opportunity to make a good first impression. The first at home, with the public who have not been here for a very long time, this match is necessarily very important.
That the players have fun, that they invest as much as possible. What we want is for them to let go, to play, what!

Are you satisfied with the workouts for the week?
It’s been a good week. The boys were disappointed, not downcast. We didn’t have to be either. They’ve been keen to get it right this week. They worked well!
What are your expectations for this first match in Chartres?
That the players have fun, that they invest as much as possible. What we want is for them to let go, to play, what!
You have a quality group, is this match within reach?
Yes, there is quality in the group, there is potential. Sunday’s group will be very competitive. There are no questions to ask. Let go of the horses and play!
