The Ruthenians lost 2-0, at home, against Ajaccio, Saturday, September 18. Reaction of the two coaches at the end of the meeting.
Laurent Peyrelade, Rodez coach
We need to be able to progress to be able to compete against teams at the top of the table. Faced with an opponent like that, you have to know how to be very efficient. We had some highlights in the first half, during which we have to come back. Afterwards, the more time passes, the more difficult it becomes. We had good legs but too much waste to be able to hamper this team, which was better than us.
Olivier Pantaloni, coach of Ajaccio
It was a game that we feared, against a team that remained on a good series. Against Rodez, we wanted to be rigorous defensively and as efficient as possible to recover the ball. We succeeded, I am very satisfied with the behavior of the team.
