“As the president said: two guns and tomorrow training”: the reaction of Rodez coach Didier Santini

“Mardi, il n’y aura plus de fatigue”, estime Didier Santini. MAXPPP – Thierry Larret

Happy after the success against Ajaccio and the ticket to the L2 play-offs, Ruthenian coach Didier Santini had already switched to the reception of Paris FC on Tuesday.

"These are super complicated matches to play, it’s stressful, it’s… There you go, you don't always know whether to attack, we were a little foiled at times. But as I told them, a match like that, they managed to manage it, and to grow even more.

Tuesday, Paris FC here ? It’s great, it’s great to host here, it’s going to be complicated matches, but it’s fantastic, for the public, it’ rsquo;is awesome. They were, once again, great, generous in their encouragement, pushing us, there were difficult moments. You win 2-0 very quickly, and you don't know if you should continue, if you should stop, so you play them a little, and then in front, there is a very great team, with such experienced players.

The championship is over, and today, it's a new adventure which begins with cleaver matches. You will have to be present, be in the intensity, only think about this match.

Physically, I think we're good, we're not bad. This match is also the pleasure of playing, of being there, of playing another football match. It’s just happiness. Today, we are a little tired, of course, but we have to go, we have to continue. Tuesday, there will be no more fatigue.

But it comes so quickly that you almost don't have time to savor it. But as the president said to the players in the locker room: "two guns, to go home, and tomorrow morning, there is training".&nbsp ;Yes, tomorrow morning, training, I won't be at the beach on a deckchair in Corsica (laughing).

Now it’s the Coupe de France, you have to experience it, you have to go there. Paris is a very good team, even if we won here (1 -0), she really made us doubt."
