She is back ! The rugbywoman Emeline Gros will play again at the FCG. She is currently training in Andorra with the French women’s team for the World Cup. She couldn’t give us an interview for this reason, but the president of the Amazons, Christian Brottier, didn’t have to be asked, very happy to find this 3rd line of talent, which bears the number 8 at the Blues. So how did he manage to convince Emeline Gros, who will turn 27 this Friday, to come home?
“She was won over by the club’s development project. Our goal, by 2025, is to be one of the top 4 teams in the Elite 1 championship. We are also the only women’s club in France that uses the facilities of pro players. There are also coaches of pro players who intervene with us. We are also working on the mental preparation of the player. She can also get closer to her family who lives here in Isère, to her friends. Not to mention the good atmosphere that reigns in the team. All this convinced her to come back with us!“rejoices Christian Brottier.
Emeline Gros will bring all her experience as an international player girls on major events, including: “She is a rugby player who has the ability to cross, to pierce the opposing lines. She is also there to accompany the wingers, the three-quarters. And then she brings her good humor and her energy!“concludes Christian Brottier
