"He is able to do things that no one can do!" ". Criticized for his defensive errors, the XV winger of France Teddy Thomas was supported Thursday by his trainer at Racing 92 Laurent Travers and by his teammates. Faced with press articles and recent criticisms suffered on social networks by Teddy Thomas, the manager of Racing Laurent Travers wanted to defend his player.
"There is no need for people to be critical, it already is for themselves. Teddy knows how to identify the positive and negative points of his performances. He only wants to put on the jersey and show what he can do. People tend to be relentless… He is realistic, we are realistic as far as his performance is concerned, but we must respect man. I think it went a little too far. (…) I know Teddy, I know that he is someone who likes challenges, and contrary to what has been written or said, I think he will take up the challenge and take it up well. ”
Best test scorer in the European Cup with six tries in four matches and third best in the Top 14 with also six tries in just seven games, Thomas has had less success since the start of the Six Nations Tournament with only one try against the 'Italy (35-22) and, in defense, number of missed tackles.
" People today have a little easy criticism, they let off steam on social networks ... "
Teddy Iribaren“Things go up and down very quickly. Today you are less than nothing but if he wins the Grand Slam in France it will be the king. In both directions it takes measure, "warned Travers while France is the only unbeaten team after its two other victories against England (24-17) and Wales (27-23).
"By being less decisive with the France team, people criticize him, but there were not many balls outwards, also defended the third line of Racing Wenceslas Lauret. Three balls (against the Welsh) it's complicated to express yourself, but when he has the ball in hand you know it's dangerous. ”
The scrum half Teddy Iribaren goes in the same direction. "He's so much on another planet, he's so strong. He is capable of the best as well as the worst, when he is the best everyone loves him and when he is less good ... People today have a little easy criticism, they let off steam on social networks. .. "
