Christophe Urios was not prepared for such a humiliation. The Clermont manager watched helplessly as his Jaunards’ disaster in La Rochelle transpired on Sunday, the conclusion of the 17th day of the Top 14 (42-3). After the meeting, the former hooker made Christophe Urios because he was very irritated by what he saw. It hurts to put this failure into words, Cash, tough.
He first said on Canal+, “We felt things a little against Bayonne, then we lost our heads a little against Toulouse.” Our current way of thinking is out of step with our actions from just a few weeks ago. We have a bad mindset, and when we have a bad mindset, we lose games.
When the former UBB manager showed up for a press conference a few minutes later, he did anything but soften his conclusions about his players.
Merely five points more than the red zone
“Our initial sequence makes sense. After that, we melted and were in constant pain. We don’t revolt; we march. Some players aren’t performing at their level. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my squad acting like that.
A fire at the Clermont training center disrupted the week before this trip to La Rochelle, destroying club facilities. But Urios did not want to use this cruel coincidence as an excuse for his men’s actions.
Although it’s regrettable and scatters us, life is about more important things! Buying power is an issue! There is an issue with farmers’ circumstances! There is an issue with the Ukrainian conflict! Above all, let us not use this as a justification.
With Clermont sitting tenth in the standings and only five points ahead of thirteenth place, preparation for the next game, which takes place on Saturday at 5 p.m. against Oyonnax, is expected to be intense.
