“There are no words, it’s great, we wanted to write our story,” Sazi told France 2. “I play with monsters. We have a crazy team, we can do extreme things with this group.”

We totally miss the first 20 minutes. When you see the character, we say to ourselves at halftime: we’re trampling on them, let’s go on, and it will pass! There was not a minute of panic in the locker room in the first half. It’s great for yellow and black people. It is indescribable when you know everything and can do it twice.

The scenario of the game is completely insane. We were not present for the first three attempts, we were talking under the posts and no one panicked. »

“We were determined, we held on to the end, I know we are expected to be in La Rochelle, I can’t wait, to celebrate that in the port tomorrow. After 20 minutes it was 17-0 but at half time, We got the upper hand back. We don’t want to miss it. It’s just huge.”

“We conceded 17 points, but we showed our character,” Hastoy told France 2. We continued to implement our plan, it worked for us. We did a huge thing by winning here, in front of their home crowd. »

“This whole city, this region supports us every day, Danty in France launches 2. She watches our baskets when we go shopping. La Rochelle is a family.”

Dulin explained to France 2. “The strange thing is that we talked about the scenario, if we were behind by 20 or we were leading by 20, we didn’t change the plan,” Dulin explained to France 2. It’s easy to say when it was won. But we did. And we went to look for him. We’ll have fun.”
