The reactions of Annaïg Butel and Théa Greboval, the two players from Juvisy who took the time to answer our questions despite the disappointment and defeat of tonight at home against Montpellier (1-2).
Annaig Butel: "When we lose, we are always frustrated, we were keen to win today especially at home and to stay ahead of the championship but it is a frustration, and we will work, again and again for to be able to work on these small mistakes, these little details that make the difference. "
(...)
"[Every time] it's still not good against Montpellier, we know that it's especially a lot in the duels and I think so, today, it was played not much, a goal of difference, so it's like that and we will have to work on these details that make the difference at the high level. "
On what may have been missing in this game from the Juvisy side:
Annaig Butel: "I think we did not know how to control the ball well enough, how to keep it from time to time ..." (Théa Gréboval) And play fairer and perhaps more effective, in the game in general we need to progress ... (Annaig Butel) We should have put the game instead of playing long because they have a low defense. We did not do that but we did it from time to time and that's what gave us opportunities, we should have done more, I think. "
On the discussions in the locker room at half-time (while Juvisy is led 1-0):
Théa Gréboval: "At the half-time we felt we were in the match, that what we were doing was good but that we could do better, to be more applied, that we had to continue the impact in the duels and not let go and return from the beginning with ambitions, from the beginning of the second half and after it is true that the goal we take it hurts and after the goal of 2-1 he's coming back too late, it's a shame ... "
At the turn of the match at 2-0 with a more chopped game, more mistakes especially from the players of Montpellier:
Annaïg Butel: "They know very well doing that, they did it and that's what we missed too that's for sure but it's football. "
Thea Gréboval: "It's true that it's games to stakes, we play the top 4 so it's true that after a while, there's also know how to manage the game and it's true that Montpellier bah they won 2-0, they managed the game this way (...) We did not have the cards in hand, it was not 2-0, it is normal that they react like that. After that is the football, we should perhaps have made this game and just avoid more ... yeah, playing fast, letting go faster, be fair, ask more the ball as said Anna [Annaig Butel] »
