Just after the end of the draw (1-1) against his team in Lille, Christophe Parra, coach of the women's section of Marseille, reacted to our microphone to give us his impression on this meeting counting for the 6th day of D1 . Reaction.



Soccer Hearts - What is your impression of this match?
I think that in the approach, in the moral and mental values ​​- that we have to go after the disappointments that we have known for a few weeks - I think that the girls have approached the match properly. After we know very well that a football match is not just motivation, it would be all too easy. The game makes the difference and unfortunately we have not managed to keep this goal in advance. I long to see a little bit of images [of the game] before positioning myself and make a mistake in the comment but it's a bit unfortunate. I know there is an error of choice unfortunately. It puts a lot of things back in place. When we are in trouble, it's like I said in the week, the example of the final of the European Cup, Bayern Munich / Saint Etienne in 79, the myth of the square posts ...
We have to hang on, we have to stay focused, we know very well that games do not play big things, so it's a little bit what made the difference. Even if I think we could have done a little better, from the middle of the second half, we went a little too far, we stumbled on a lot of long balls that we had to manage, it is a way to understand things. It put us a little bit on the back and we had a little more difficulty to project ...


Soccer Hearts - Because we felt that you had this experience of last season in D1, having control over the match?
Yes yes yes absolutely. We had the opportunity to put the second goal and here is the myth of the square posts ... This is where it is played, we knew last year and it is there that we must constantly try put the lines back in place and continue to try to harmonize, to lift the head ... There are good things to do, it's nice that you highlight it too. It does not play big things.


"Reduce all those little points of uncertainty that are tied to a football match."


Football Hearts - Do you have a reworked squad as well, where the players have to find their automatisms and it's still complicated for a second season in D1?
Of course, there is a harmony to find but we know very well that the time at a given moment is counted, but as you underline just now, we still have this "small" and "lean" experience of last season and we also know that we have to comfort ourselves behind the production of the team in the field and focus on how to try to reduce all these small points of uncertainty that are linked to a football match .


Soccer Hearts - That is to say, not to be surprised or to be trapped? Because there after having opened the score, you got a little trapped by Lille?
Yes we were trapped on these kicks, on these long balls constantly but it is an approach to football and we must also know how to cope, stay focused and there are also young players, they learn, we learn all. As we say in learning, failure is part of this evolution. It is necessary to learn and especially to avoid making the same mistakes, it is valid on the individual level, and it is what will allow once the acquisition of these small details, to value a little the harmony of the group and to arrive to validate this first victory. We receive Albi [in two weeks] so we remain focused on this meeting and on the next day.
