The Racing winger does not question the commitment of his people: “We gave it all“It’s only about the aloof world, feared by neutral, spectacle-loving viewers, which turned out to be a galaxy.”We played against a much better team than us. They were more pragmatic, more serious, more in control… They beat us everywhere“, summarizes the Argentinian, placid.

“We are in the place we deserve”
There was no anger in Imhoff’s voice or look: “It’s frustrating but it’s kind of our reality (…) We are in the place we deserve. If we stop there, it’s because we don’t deserve more than that. You have to be honest and humble.” He even comes to philosophize: “This is the only positive thing to draw from it: we have things to improve. I tell myself, at 35, that I have things to improve if I want to replay Top 14 finals.”
His trainer Laurent Travers agrees: “Toulouse outclassed us. There is nothing to say. They did tonight what they did for 26 games. Kudos to them. ” This meeting (at best) gave the impression of stopping with the exit of Antoine Dupont, a quarter from the end, when it was 34-0. Before, there were some upheavals in the Ile-de-France, but the balance of power was faithful to the regular season (1st versus 5th).
“We have never seen such a gap between the first two and the play-offs”
Travers, false note for false last
“It is the reflection of our season. We were able to make very good matches and at times to be completely absentrelate Travers. In this match too, there are periods when we were absent and others when we managed to put some play in place.” All for his last in this role. Infuriating? “It is for the players that it is difficulthe sweeps. What happens behind is only happiness.”
Ten years after his arrival, the former coach of the CO will take the height in the organization chart of Racing 92, while Stuart Lancaster will take care of replacing him on the bench. “It was necessary. It was necessary to reboost the situation, whether at the level of the staff or the players“, is convinced Laurent Travers, who knew the glory of the national coronation in 2016. “It’s not enough but we’re still here, in the semi-finals“, he slips.
“I am proud of my club”
Imhoff, present since 2011-2012, has a thought for Travers, whom he joins on this note of satisfaction: “I am proud of my club, Racing, because once again it is in the final phase (none missed since his return to the top flight in 2009, editor’s note). All that remains is to get back to work and try to find our way back to the Top 14 final.” Just that… “It is not easy“, he admits. Proof of this was made on Friday.
“I hope for Racing that Tuisova will not eat four chickens a day this summer”
