Just after the final victory in the 1 / 16th final of the Coupe de France against RC Saint-Denis (5-0), Anna Clerac reacted to the side of Soyaux on this meeting. We also talk about his game and the team selection of France.
His reaction on the match
We achieved our goal, we won. We should have scored more quickly but in the end we got there, now we are looking at the championship next week.
On the quality of play of the team Soyaux
There was a lot of impact in the match, with duels, maybe that's what we missed to have more impact. But after we had the success in front of goal, we were able to score our goals.
On his personal game
Today it was complicated. I did not play at my usual post. I tried to give what I could to my team, but they blocked us.
A Coupe de France showdown where it was difficult to put your game in place
Above all, we played with a system we are not used to playing. Normally we played with two 10, there we played with two 6, Elise [Courel] and me. This is a post we are not used to playing as I said for myself. I think Elise did a very good game. But I think we have found quite well while we have a team that has changed somewhat anyway [with the departure of Blais, Nakkach and the arrival of Tolmais] but we managed well in the 'together.
About changes in membership that disrupt group cohesion
I think this is a point that must be corrected then.
How do you feel about your next championship match against Fleury?
We know that the next two games will be important, we will have points to take because we play the maintenance on. With the end of the season that will be complicated, with meetings against Lyon, Montpellier, Bordeaux and Paris. The last four games will be tense.
You made your first selection in France B team, this season. Your personal goal is to find the Blue?
I would like, now I try first to make good benefits in club. After that if I am called I would be proud of it. But I focus above all on keeping up with Soyaux, with my team, because that is important to me.
The points to work to return
The France team is a very good level, it allowed me to progress a little more. So the points I have to work on is a bit of everything, physically, on the success in front of the goal ... And maybe I'll have another chance in France B team.
I saw that you missed a goal there and more, it's frustrating for you it shows ...
Law ! I'm left-handed (laughs). With the terrain quite fat, it was not easy to pick up. But if I had put it you would have heard it for a month there, that I scored right (smile). I had another opportunity that was opposed by Daniele [Tolmais] I was frustrated (she could have gone to the bottom) but it's like that. I have to work my finish is obvious. I know it's the most that I miss, maybe to be more important for my team. I need to regain confidence to make it happen.
