Pascal Donnadieu (Nanterre coach): “It’s a victory without style, but frankly, victories are not given on merit but compared to its decimated workforce, Le Mans is playing an admirable game. The weakness of their rotations was complicated for them. They were heroic in that game. We made a catastrophic start, we were surprised, we were with absent subscribers on both sides. Although we managed to win, it is a less successful performance even if a fourth victory in a row. “
Damien Bouquet (Nanterre): “We lost that match two months ago. It shows that we have come a long way, that we continue to progress, that’s good. The arrival of Brock (Motum) and the assumption of responsibility by Victor (Wenbanyama) have done the team a lot of good. “
Elric Delord (coach of Mans): “We see it at the start of the match, when we are fresh, we respect what we have to do in attack and defense. It’s like that when you have six pros. It gets hard down the line. We hold on to our values, resilience, commitment, the desire to play for others, we come back and we are only five in the field. Little Mienandi, he’s just turned eighteen, and he’s played thirty-six minutes. All these kids, they deserve to play. But I would prefer to have the entire roster and run Hugo (Mienandi). They show beautiful things. It’s interesting to work on, but when you put in place in defense where I have to play … But we will not let go. “
Williams Narace (Le Mans): “It’s a feeling of disappointment because it’s never pleasant to lose a game, but I’m proud of my teammates because we fought to the end. We tried to play on the principles that the coach asked us. In the long term, we lack rotations, and we have lost in lucidity. “
