Once you are in final stages, you play to be champion. For us, it’s going as far as possible and this shield. We fight for each other. We were super humble, but we have a frank opportunity. It bothers me a little.

“We knew that it was going to be difficult with tension. We had difficulty entering the match. Then we managed to score with actions on the exteriors. It was a big pack, we wanted to play in their back and on the open. Respecting it, the plan it smiled at us. The big positive point is defense with solidarity. We were never afraid. It is the strength of our group. Semi-final, even this final and the title.

We would have wanted to do better, but we did not mark everything in this match. In the first half, we have frank opportunities without scoring. We knew that efficiency would be a key. 75 % success in the brand area, and if it had been the case, we would have been in the nails.
