While it remains on two draws in the league against Soyaux (1-1) and Saint-Etienne (2-2), the VGA will have to face this weekend on his turf at the championship dolphin, Montpellier. Régis Mohar and Leila Meflah gave us their reaction before this meeting.

Régis Mohar (VGA Saint-Maur coach): "It's actions I'm waiting for now"

CDF: Your reaction after the draw against Saint-Etienne (2-2)?

"A deserved 2-2 Saint-Etienne could win as we could win on the last action.After the break, we quickly scored two goals but we fell into the easy.I usually protect my players but I think that they have not seen in what situation the club is today, if they do not understand that we are among the elite, we will not be able to get away with it. -0 to put, we have to put it.This is the high level.After, they deserve their equalization, they pushed while we retreated.We could lose the match 2-3 on a penalty that Mélodie she out On this second period, we were neutralized even if we were a little in difficulty, I felt it, because some players do not respect the instructions and it starts a little to annoy me.After Saint-Étienne was well in place, they have a captain who for me is the barometer of the team, it gives the tempo when he If I had not had a big Marlyse in front and what is needed in the middle and behind, we leave with a suitcase. I have a lot of regrets about the attitude. We can not behave like that, as if we were third in the championship. We can not, we are in the cart. If they do not understand this and each action is important, like stopping Melody on the penalty kick, it will be very complicated. "

CDF: Next match against Montpellier at home. A good opportunity to prepare for the trip to La Roche, which will once again be crucial?

"Yes, anyway now, all the matches are important, whether it's Montpellier, la Roche, or whatever, in our position, where we are always in the red zone, all the matches count, even if the results of this week- end are favorable, we are not yet distanced, it will be very very hard if we have this unacceptable behavior.They know it.It is inadmissible to win 2-0 away and get caught up like that. angry because I think it's going to be hard but the girls do not have to understand that, it's a shame, it's like last year, they were demanding and everything, but it's not the same level anymore. "

CDF: We feel worried for the future ...

"No, I'm not even worried about the level." "I could say that I had already said against Soyaux, there are two teams playing three behind today in D1: PSG and Lyon. So we played like that, a lot of journalists started telling me I had a bad defense, no, I'm a promoted, I went up to D1, I thought it was playing ball so I played Three years behind, I've been playing in 3-5-2 for three years, unfortunately I was a naive coach, I'm not ashamed to say it, I opened the game, I took a lot of Goals, it's okay, today we've gone back to another game system, a 4-5-1, and then it's all well and good to put some gaming systems, but you have to know how to animate it the system, I think it's going to do it, but it's really necessary that they move the girls, for me, it's critical right now, it's on the return matches that it's going to be played now. is gauged, all the e world has been seen, some will strengthen. So we'll see how it's going to be. But I can not stay in this situation. It's a lot of investment, I give a lot of my person, my assistant who plays in Ligue 2 the same. We can not stay like that, we need a positive reaction. It's all well and good to say we will do, we need action. It's acts that I'm expecting from girls now. "

Leila Meflah (captain and midfielder of VGA Saint-Maur): "Everything goes in the head"

CDF: Your reaction after the draw against Saint-Etienne (2-2)?

"Obviously disappointed because when we manage to lead 2-0 and in the end we finish at 2-2 and again, we can lose the match 2. Fortunately, our goalkeeper stops a penalty.Designed because there was still the place and as usual, lack of concentration.They manage to go back to 2-2, behind we run again after the score and it becomes difficult.

CDF: How exactly do you explain that after leading 2-0 and having a 3-0 ball, at once the team is overwhelmed and out of the match?

"Frankly, I do not even know how to explain it, afterwards, when we lead 2-0, everything goes in the head, maybe we relaxed, we thought it was good. We saw ourselves being too good, at 2-0 we played the game and in the end they showed us that we were wrong, they came back and again they would have could be a disappointment but we can not get away with it either. "

CDF: Unlike the match against Soyaux, where the team fought to return the whole game and had 2-1 balls, we had the impression in Saint-Etienne to see the opposite ...

"It's exactly that, maybe as the coach said, I think we like to be in trouble, when we're dominated, we're always better, now it's up to us to work that, it's in the head, again, it's not the physical, it's not the technique, we have a mental problem, we have to be stronger, we know how to hold the games over 90 minutes."

CDF: With this draw, how are you going to approach Montpellier's reception?

"Montpellier is still a big team like Lyon, Paris or Juvisy, if we can take points so much better.After us, our goals was to take points in Saint-Etienne, against Soyaux, against La Roche soon. we will give everything to try to tear off why not a small draw or make a little surprise. "

CDF: Exactly, this home game against Montpellier could well prepare for this once again crucial move to La Roche no?

Yes, but again against PSG we are preparing well and behind, it has been a little better against Soyaux.We always manage to prepare the big games but arrive in the important matches, for now we are I hope it's going to do it, we have a good team and we will fight to the end, we will not let go. "

CDF: Everything will be played globally on the return phase now, now that all teams have measured ...

"No doubt it's going to be decided, it would be good if we take points already at La Roche because it will be important to finish the first leg, then for the month of December we still have Lyon and Albi. we manage to win these two games against La Roche and Albi, it will be good for morale.For Montpellier, if there's a little more, good for us. "
