The explosive player of Racing 92 had a lot on his heart.

He was coming out of a frustrating Six Nations Tournament, where he was injured at the start of the competition before donning the number 2 costume of the number 2 behind Toulouse's Julien Marchant.

“I was very happy to find my team and to start the match, it had been a long time since I had known that.

I wanted to work and take my team forward. ”

And he did not hesitate to give the voice, to reframe his inconstant teammates in recent moments, like this setback conceded on the lawn of Aviron Bayonnais.

“I wanted us to find the osmosis of the forwards and to play for each other.

I felt that, in front, we were playing a little for our apple for some time, he asserts.

We had to play for each other. ”

"Through his performance, it shows that we will have to rely on Camille Chat at the highest level and perhaps for more than 10 minutes"

Laurent Travers

In an increasingly sanitized professional environment, where no one wants to offend people, Camille Chat never hides what he thinks.

"I wanted to show that I can have a good match with Racing and that I can be present in an international match."

No tongue in cheek, no lukewarm water tap.

He had not hesitated during the Tournament to admit, in front of the press, his frustration at not playing enough.

And he had also told coach Fabien Galthié: “After Wales, we explained ourselves.

I wanted to know the why and how.

He (Fabien Galthié) told me that he has complete confidence in me.

I asked him that question.

For the moment Julien Marchand is in front, because of my injuries, but he is playing good matches so far.

For now it is like that.

It's up to me to work and show that I can be present. ” 

"These words were followed by actions"

For his return, the same, he spoke in front of his teammates.

Not hesitating to reframe them.

An attitude appreciated by his manager Laurent Travers: “These words were followed by action.

He is someone who had invested a lot in the group during the week, especially in terms of the package of forwards.

He responded with action.

Well done, because he has put the package forward in the advance. "

And the Altoséquanese technician continues: “It's normal that he is frustrated.

It's the same in club and team of France.

the player who does not play, he is frustrated.

On the other hand, when you have the opportunity to go up, you have to know how to respond.

Through his performance, it shows that we will have to rely on Camille Chat at the highest level and perhaps for more than 10 minutes.

It's up to him to do whatever it takes to show that we can trust him. ”

“Henry (Chavancy) brings an important serenity to the team.

The other leaders of the team will have to take his role ”

Camille Cat

At only 25 years old, the player from Yonne, a pure product of the Ciel et Blanc training center, is now one of the elders.

Voices that we listen to.

While Racing regularly launches young people from its nursery, the hooker asserts himself in a leadership role.

To supervise in particular the Jordan Joseph or other Ibrahim Diallo, who honored Sunday their first tenure in the Champions Cup.

Leadership responsibilities that he does not shy away from: “You have to take this role, it is important.

They are young, very talented players.

It must be channeled.

It's not easy to come back to a club and take on this role.

But I have at heart to do well and to bring them to the highest level.

But with the mentality of "Ibou" and Jordan, there is no problem.

They are going to go quickly. " 

Leader by verb then example

Camille Chat now assumes her role of leader.

This does not frighten him when the 92 club has lost several executives, including its captain and totem pole Henry Chavancy, seriously injured in the shoulder.

“Henry brings an important serenity to the team.

The other leaders of the team will have to take his role.

I am keen to bring my experience to his young people and this group.

I clearly want us to aim for this title of European champion.

I put everything in place for that, ”he asserts.

Ready to assume his role as an executive, an international player in Racing.

"I hope we will be able to raise our heads in relation to that (the absences).

We have to do without, we have no choice anyway. "

Far from being defeatist.

Continue to advance.

As he showed on Sunday on the pitch.

A leader by word, then by example.
