In the long way, in the middle of the crowd, which leads the players from their locker room to the post-match receptions, there was more noise when Ange Capuozzo appeared. A wide smile on the face of the former Grenoblois and dozens of selfies on the program for the one who made a good copy during the victory against Racing. The proof in figures with 151 meters traveled, seven defenders beaten or three crossings.
Capuozzo: “A good dose of adrenaline”
Arrived from FCG this summer, it did not take long to adapt to Stade Toulousain. He who left his hometown of Grenoble for the first time: “I had already taken a good dose of adrenaline two weeks ago when I first arrived with the whole journey to get to the locker room. These are exceptional times. I hope I will never lose the taste and this little feeling of adrenaline that goes through us when we spend moments like this. I am very happy.”
His speed is likely to make the Walloon public rise more than once this season. In the group, there too, Ange Capuozzo is unanimous: “He has integrated very well. What is good is that he is not shy. He blends in, he talks a lot. _Outside rugby and in training, he is really nice. He doesn’t mind”_, loose hooker Peato Mauvaka.
Thuéry: “Leave him alone”
Ange Capuozzo talks a lot more about the collective and his position as a winger which allows him to have opportunities than about his personal talent. On the staff side, there too, we want to temper the good beginnings of the Italian international: “He gave a great performance, I’m delighted for him and his integration into the group. Sometimes it takes a little longer. Him, it seems to stick. You have to leave him alone and let him keep working. _He feels the blows, he’s not a very strong boy but who goes very quickly. In addition, he makes others play well. He has the ability to put the brakes on to make the pass and ensure the continuity of the game. It’s precious”_, savor Laurent Thuéry.
