Considering the Covid wave that hit your Clermont club: how are you?
“Personally, it’s not really that. I am the last person in the club who was infected ten days ago. I still have a little fever. I don’t know if I will be able to travel to Nancy. “
In total, how many cases of Covid have been detected within your club?
“Thirty including everyone, the players, the staff and the staff. “
Where are your players?
“They resumed group training on Wednesday, for the first time in the past two weeks. There will be enough players available for the match in Nancy to take place on Saturday. We will even have a team close to our usual “eleven”. It remains to be seen how the guys will feel physically. We can’t control that. “

“We are going to meet a formidable team in great shape”
Are you worried that this health situation could make you miss the rise in L1?
“It’s not happening at the right time, that’s for sure. We remained on four consecutive victories before the contaminations, we were in an excellent spiral … But other teams before us have unfortunately been there this season … And we see that there are no rules. Grenoble had excellent results after her Covid episode, while Nancy struggled to recover. For us, the hardest match to pass is surely the one at Marcel-Picot on Saturday. After that, we will have the international break to work. “
In your eyes, the ASNL will be the favorite of the blow, this Saturday?
“I think so, yes. But if we negotiate this match badly, it will not necessarily be because of the virus. Even without the Covid, we could lose at Picot. Even being at 100%, we could very well be beaten by the Nancyians who are doing a lot of great performances at the moment. We know that we will meet a formidable team and in great shape. “
Last weekend, Nancy had five goals with the leader of Troyes who has a reputation as a playful team, like you …
“We saw that. We know that ASNL can hurt a lot against. Nancy defend very well, they are hard to move, strong in duels with a tactical organization that they master well. But on our side, we are there thanks to very precise playing principles. We do not know how to do otherwise, we have been moving forward like this for three years. No question of changing under the pretext that we are in the race to climb. We must not tense up. “
