“There is a lot of excitement,” assures Yanis Boulassel, the Béziers hooker, before facing Biarritz

Yanis Boulassel: “We will have to put in a strong match” Midi Libre – R.R.

Yanis Boulassel, the ASBH hooker, looks back on the resumption of training after two weeks without a match. He takes stock before the arrival of Biarritz, this Friday, at the Raoul-Barrière stadium (7 p.m. and 30 p.m.).

How did the recovery go after two weekends without a match?

After the Dax match, we had a week off. We started again on Monday and we had a first week of training with a lot of good humor. The one that has just passed was devoted to preparing for the match against Biarritz. It was complete, we prepared well for this meeting.

There must be the desire to forget the defeat conceded to Dax (57-20), no ?

Of course. We keep this match in mind. We did not respond. But it will help us. In a season, there are matches where we get through it and it's not the end of the world. We're going to try to bounce back this weekend.< /p>

Was this long break an opportunity to work on certain points?

There are sectors that have been targeted. At  Dax, he lacked the necessary ingredients to win. We therefore placed emphasis on certain points such as defense, carried balls. Everything that revolves, in fact, around aggressiveness.

We must therefore remobilize ourselves to bounce back ?

We start again with a block of five matches. It is important to get it off to a good start by putting in a good performance this weekend. That’s the goal.

There must be a lot of excitement in the team?

There is a lot of excitement. Everyone is very happy to see each other again after a vacation which did a lot of good. We remobilized well.

What do you think of this BO team?

This is a team that is out of place in the standings. We take it very seriously because it is solid training. We will have to put on a strong match.
