Zapping World Fifteen RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP: The editorial team’s dream XV
Many observers see similarities between Guy Novès, former illustrious manager of Stade Toulousain, and Ugo Mola, current head coach of the Rouge et Noir. The Canal+ microphone outing of Mola last Saturday reinforced this. Guy Novès spoke in the columns of Midi Olympique on this subject:
“We are both really different. (…) For example, when I was involved with ten players to make them play with the France team, I grumbled from the start. Today, we find that it is very good, that it’s great and then, Toulouse finds itself in difficulties at times in the league. I also think that I did not have, in my time, a workforce as dense as his. (…) Me , I always had trouble seeing cameras in the intimacy of the group. (…)
When Canal + put cameras in the changing rooms, I put towels on them. When the sound engineers approached the circle we formed in the center of the field, I knelt down so that they wouldn’t hear me. It had almost become a game between Eric Bayle and me. Personally, I would have had trouble exposing myself like this. We are completely different, with Ugo.” he said.
to summarize
Guy Novès returned to the comparison that is often made between him and Ugo Mola, the current manager of Stade Toulousain. The former coach of the Blues spoke about it.
