Top 14: “Macalou is good in his body, in his head and he is liberated”, appreciates Ghezal

Following Stade Français’s victory over Pau (25-12), Karim Ghezal, the Parisian coach, declared: “We managed to score four tries, despite the difficult conditions, with tries from our forwards and exceptional essays by Sekou Macalou. That he scores tries like that (on a 40-metre breakthrough), it means that he is good in his body, in his head and that he is liberated.

For his part, Sébastien Piqueronies, the Béarnais manager was “very disappointed to leave with zero points. Given the commitment and investment today, it’s hard. I found us very focused. With each attempt conceded, we quickly reinvested the opposing camp, we quickly got closer to the opposing line. On the other hand, we lacked concrete results.”
