“It is therefore a strong group where everyone knows their role and their place, and beyond their differences, comes together around a common passion and objective”added Grégory Tarlé.
Quarter-final objective for the Blues
“The depth of the group will be its strength, its desire to persevere and pursue its dream of success”he says.
