Parole de joueur The doubts and the dreams of Cloé Correa French international and Stade Toulousain lock, Cloé Correa (22) is moving forward with growing ambition, but also with the uncertainties of a career that remains fragile.

Parole de coach Anthony Bajart: “The team is far from its potential” The youngest manager in Nationale, Anthony Bajart (31), coaches Suresnes, 9th level with CSBJ. With force and conviction, he looks back on a frustrating start to the season, the top 6 target set by the board and the singularity of a club from the Parisian inner suburbs.
