However, the coach, Julien Stéphan, wants to continue to believe in it: “Mentally, the players don’t give up, they hang on, they’re there, even if we don’t get the results we want, even if we’re not always brilliant. It’s a team that doesn’t have the confidence to follow through on its intentions, that doesn’t always have the necessary success either, but success, it will be provoked, confidence, will be redeveloped by one or two victories.”

We are not satisfied with our results, but we are not left behind either“, tempers Julien Stéphan, who recalls that Racing is “only” two points behind the first non-relegation player.The group lives. You have to recover physically and mentally, I promised them a very hard preparation“at the resumption in two weeks.

Not dropped“, these are also the words of Dimitri Liénard. “Now, if we’re here, it’s our fault. We will have to clear our heads and find a conquering, dynamic team” The Racing captain has a thought for the supporters, and asks his teammates, for all the people who come, for all the blue people, to at least come out washed out, with cramps, dirt, blood, sweat, not to suffer, to come back with determination“.
