Ben Shea, co-entra\u00eeneur d\u2019Albi RL, revient sur le d\u00e9but de saison des Tigers en Super XIII et \u00e9voque ses ambitions avec son \u00e9quipe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Que penses-tu du d\u00e9but de saison d\u2019Albi ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

En tant qu\u2019entra\u00eeneurs, nous sommes tr\u00e8s satisfaits de notre d\u00e9but de saison et fiers des efforts fournis par tous nos joueurs. Cela a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s compliqu\u00e9 avec de nombreuses blessures, suspensions et des arriv\u00e9es\/d\u00e9parts tardifs. Nous avons eu l\u2019opportunit\u00e9 de faire jouer beaucoup de jeunes et de joueurs de l\u2019\u00e9quipe r\u00e9serve. Ils ont tous fait un excellent travail.<\/p>\n

Mais cela fait partie du processus et ce sera un facteur important dans la saison de chaque \u00e9quipe. \u00catre \u00e0 7 victoires sur 8 matchs t\u00e9moigne de l\u2019engagement et du d\u00e9vouement des joueurs disponibles.<\/p>\n

Que penses-tu de la victoire contre Toulouse ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toulouse \u00e9tait un match tr\u00e8s difficile face \u00e0 une tr\u00e8s bonne \u00e9quipe. Nous suivons leur progression cette saison : ils ont d\u2019excellents joueurs d\u2019exp\u00e9rience et de jeunes joueurs tr\u00e8s prometteurs. Leur staff fait un travail remarquable. Ils pratiquent un rugby \u00e0 XIII intense, engag\u00e9, et nous savions toute la semaine qu\u2019il faudrait jouer 80 minutes pour gagner ce match. Encore une fois, c\u2019est un cr\u00e9dit pour nos joueurs : ils \u00e9taient pr\u00eats \u00e0 jouer jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la fin et ont obtenu le r\u00e9sultat.<\/p>\n

Dans quels domaines l\u2019\u00e9quipe peut-elle encore progresser ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

En tant qu\u2019\u00e9quipe, nous savons exactement les secteurs dans lesquels nous devons nous am\u00e9liorer. Nous savons o\u00f9 nous voulons aller et ce que nous devons faire pour y parvenir.<\/p>\n

Nous construisons bien notre saison et, apr\u00e8s No\u00ebl, nous esp\u00e9rons r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer la majorit\u00e9 de nos joueurs. Quand tout le monde est disponible, cela nous permet de cr\u00e9er plus de constance et de connexion. Pour Tony et moi, nous savons que nous sommes des entra\u00eeneurs de premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e et que nous ne prendrons pas toujours les bonnes d\u00e9cisions. Mais nous donnons tout \u00e0 nos joueurs, parce qu\u2019ils nous donnent 100 % en retour.<\/p>\n

Vous avez un effectif tr\u00e8s fort, avec beaucoup de joueurs pass\u00e9s par la Super League ou le Championship. Les choix seront difficiles chaque week-end ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nous avons un excellent groupe, sur le terrain comme en dehors, et nous sommes tr\u00e8s chanceux de les entra\u00eener.<\/p>\n

Mais pour nous, les joueurs form\u00e9s au club sont tout aussi importants que ceux ayant jou\u00e9 au plus haut niveau. \u00c0 l\u2019heure actuelle, nous n\u2019avons eu Fouad Yaha qu\u2019un seul match, Dom Peyroux n\u2019a jou\u00e9 aucun match, Chase Bernard seulement trois, John Toleafoa revient tout juste de suspension, Brad Wall a disput\u00e9 seulement quatre matchs en d\u00e9but de saison, et Dean Matterson a r\u00e9alis\u00e9 quatre tr\u00e8s bonnes prestations avant de devoir rentrer pour raisons personnelles.<\/p>\n

Tous les joueurs ont montr\u00e9 leurs qualit\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019entra\u00eenement et en match. Ce sera un casse-t\u00eate quand tout le monde sera disponible, mais un casse-t\u00eate que nous attendons avec impatience.<\/p>\n

Quelles sont vos ambitions cette saison ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nos ambitions sont les m\u00eames que celles de toutes les \u00e9quipes : remporter le doubl\u00e9. Mais pour y parvenir, nous devons avancer semaine apr\u00e8s semaine et nous concentrer sur nos processus. Le championnat est tr\u00e8s relev\u00e9 cette ann\u00e9e, il n\u2019y a aucun match facile et beaucoup d\u2019\u00e9quipes sont en grande forme. Nous ne pouvons pas regarder trop loin : nous devons simplement nous concentrer sur nous-m\u00eames et nous am\u00e9liorer chaque semaine.<\/p>\n

What do you think of the beginning of the season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As coaches, we are very happy with our start to the season and proud of the effort shown by all of our players. It has been very complicated with many injuries, suspensions, and late arrivals or departures. We have had the opportunity to play a lot of juniors and players from our reserve team, and they have all done an excellent job.<\/p>\n

But this is all part of the process and will be a factor in every team\u2019s season. To be at 7 wins from 8 games is a testament to the effort and dedication of the players available.<\/p>\n

What do you think of the victory against Toulouse?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The match against Toulouse was very tough, and they are a very good team. We have been following their progress this season: they have strong senior players and exciting young talent. Their coaching staff are doing a terrific job. They play a tough, energetic style of rugby league, and we knew all week that it would take a full 80-minute performance to win. Again, credit to our boys, they were prepared to work for the full 80 minutes and got the result.<\/p>\n

In which areas can the team improve?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a team, we know the areas we need to improve. We know where we want to go and what we need to do to get there.<\/p>\n

We are building our season well, and hopefully after Christmas we will have the majority of our players available. When players are available, it allows us to build more consistency and connection. For Tony and me, we know we are first-year coaches and that we won\u2019t always make the right decisions, but we give the boys everything we can because they give us 100% in return.<\/p>\n

You have a very strong squad with many players who have played in Super League or Championship. Will the selection be difficult each weekend?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a great squad on and off the field; we are very lucky to coach them.<\/p>\n

But for us, the local players are just as important as the ones coming from higher levels. At the moment, we have had Fouad Yaha for only one game, Dom Peyroux for zero games, Chase Bernard for three games, John Toleafoa has just returned from suspension, Brad Wall played only four games at the start of the season, and Dean Matterson gave us four great games before having to return home for personal reasons.<\/p>\n

Everyone in the squad has shown us their qualities in training and on the field. It will be a headache when everybody is available, but it\u2019s a headache we are looking forward to.<\/p>\n

What are your ambitions for the season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our ambition is the same as every other team in the competition: to win the double. But we know that to achieve this, we must take things week by week and focus on our process. It is such a strong competition this year, there are no easy games and many teams are in great form. We can\u2019t look too far ahead; we must concentrate on ourselves and improving every week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ben Shea, co-entra\u00eeneur d\u2019Albi RL, revient sur le d\u00e9but de saison des Tigers en Super XIII et \u00e9voque…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":589868,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1416],"tags":[7296,33910,1011,27,479,2228,1468,2229,60,2231],"class_list":{"0":"post-589867","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-albi","9":"tag-ben-shea","10":"tag-fr","11":"tag-france","12":"tag-rugby","13":"tag-rugby-a-xiii","14":"tag-rugby-football","15":"tag-rugby-league","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-super-xiii"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@fr\/115693305571710396","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=589867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/589868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
