Neither coach could be satisfied with this draw.
Laurent Peyrelade, Rodez coach: “I expected more, more in terms of content; more technical accuracy, in particular. I was waiting for my Christmas present but it has not yet arrived. We only took one point but all the points are hard to take. We must continue to work, to improve our game so that it is a little fairer. Matches like this are complicated for both teams, especially mentally. In addition, this evening, the conditions were complicated with the wind. Everything is tight in the standings. (About Florian David, who arrived at the club on Sunday and started) He is not our savior, he is coming to help us. He’s competitive right away, which is an advantage, but we’re not going to ask him to make a revolution. He brings energy and desire and I hope he will score goals for us. (On the goal of Châteauroux) We have to do a lot better on the ball that we release. We need to talk to each other better and if we throw the ball, we have to throw it better than that. It’s a recurring problem, it’s annoying, and right now, it doesn’t necessarily take much to get punished. The energies are good but we have to show a little more fluidity and accuracy in our strikes, our centers, and that we focus our energies on the game and not on what is happening around, like the ranking. We have to be persistent and one day it will work in our favor. “
Olivier Saragaglia, Châteauroux coach: “The fact that we came back to the score is the only satisfaction. We at least had this merit even if this zero result does not do our business. The context was not easy, whether in Rodez or at home. It felt like the ball was burning your feet. It was an important game but there are a lot of them left behind, the championship is very long. I liked the reaction of the guys even if we didn’t make the first half that we wanted to do. More broadly, we did not manage to put in place what we had worked on in training this week. It was not easy because of the wind and the slippery ground but I am happy with the state of mind we showed; less of the quality of play. It is a logical draw but which does not help anyone. It’s good not to have lost but we must quickly get back in the bath because there is a big piece that comes to us on Tuesday (Clermont, NDLR). »
