Like every week, here are the reactions of the coaches after the last day of the D2 championship.
Group A:
David Fanzel (FC Metz coach): "Nice win. We went looking for it because it's never easy to win in Val d'Orge! We will enjoy the truce.
Patrick Le Goff (Bischheim coach): "We are lacking maturity to win games. The difference is not huge for us on some teams. I hope that in return matches, we will succeed in filling it.
Éric Akoun (St Denis coach): "A completely absent and disgusting match from half of my players through their no motivation behavior. So with this spirit there, we can not hope for anything other than defeat. I think that many of my players do not know how lucky they are to be able to play in D2 and for others they always find excuses so today we are at our place in the ranking. We do not deserve better than being between the 9th and 7th place. Strongly that the truce arrives to blow and remake a facelift of my staff for I hope to make a better second part of the championship ".
Michel Catalano (Rouvroy coach): "Disappointed by our result. We are equalized unfortunately 3 minutes from the end of regulation time, too bad. We still have a game to play in St Denis on December 20th. It's a league championship. 6 teams stand out for the next 5, nothing is done yet ".
David Gabsi (Lillers coach): "It was important for us to stop the spiral of losses, on this point the goal is achieved even if we would have preferred to win. At mid-point, I want to congratulate my team, which has not been rewarded for all the efforts made so far. Today we can say that the logic is generally respected and not surprisingly we are seeing a domination of favorites and a championship almost already played. The hard part starts because it will have to find sources of motivation each weekend if the gap is still widening with respect to the first 6 teams. I believe in my group, we know where we want to go because we have a project that is in no way related to maintaining D2, although for the moment this maintenance remains our main objective.
Lionel Mack (Vendenheim coach): "I am very proud of the girls because they have an irreproachable state of mind and this series of 3 wins is the result of their work. Now we still have a cup game and the last championship game in Val d'Orge and we can take stock. In any case, congratulations to my daughters.
Claude Rioust (Hénin-Beaumont coach): "For us there is still a day to play against Arras on 20 December at home. The record is simple we took points on all direct competitors and at least one more on December 20 so it's a nice day accounting. Now the most important is in 2016 with the return phase where each match will have its truth but with always the same number of points so it will take a maximum to hope to maintain.
Jérémie Deschamps (Women's LOSC Coach): "A difficult first half, in which we had a lot of trouble setting pace. A very good reaction of the girls in the second half. We created ourselves some dangerous situations, but we missed presence in front of the goal. In the end, we could not expect much more than this draw. A game to forget, but we remain undefeated at home. Place at the Coupe de France.
Group B:
Alain Le Dour (FC Lorient coach): "A good match and a good result. The score could have been wider. A second part where it will be necessary to make performances. The place in the league is quite logical. Auspicious for this second part of the season.
Grégory Mleko (coach of Yzeure): "For our part the balance sheet is positive and the maintenance is close. The players and the staff have done an exceptional job with this young group, which is working hard and is rewarded by its results. Work pays you see it to be always undefeated. We will take stock and raise our objectives. Regarding the match a team from Angers who has progressed compared to the previous year. A collective that plays ball despite the little offensive danger thanks to our collective which was solid. Victory is deserved.
Christophe Charbonnier (Le Mans coach): "Mission accomplished 31 pts we should do better in the second part when the victory of the day is well deserved girls are to be congratulated".
Stéphane Arnold (FC Rouen coach): "4 points that are good and reward a good overall performance. We are halfway through and we are in the nails for the moment. It will confirm in the second half of the season and try to improve what has not been to confirm the maintenance on the one hand and get some performance against the champions of the championship to get a good ranking if possible in a second time! "
Michel Gilles (Quimper coach): "Very complicated Sunday for Quimper! Result acquired against a Girondine team developing a well-oiled game. From the first minute, they open the scoring and will almost never leave the camp of the quimperoises. Apart from the score 0-10. The hardest thing for the Quimper team is to lose on injury, during the match, two important players for the team. We have just completed the first leg, we must quickly forget and play St Malo Cup of France. Before tackling a return phase in a better way. "
Group C:
Sylvain Delgado (coach of the TFC): "A negative balance on this first part of the championship and the image of this afternoon we have fished too much in the finish where we should have killed the games much faster. We will have to show another face on this second phase with the hope of the return of the executives to put more experience in this group quite young ".
Benoît Falcon (Aurillac-Arpajon coach): "6-point match for us with this Auvergnat derby. Victoire rather easy, the girls knew how to remain serious and applied, which positions us to eight points of the first relegation. We are, I believe, the only D2 team to have not conceded a goal at home, a real performance. We can spend the holidays with serenity. See you next year ".
Kevin Collas (coach of La Véore): "A big disappointment. We could, with a victory, pick up with the comfort zone. We failed in motivation and aggression in the first period when the Marseille team was opportunistic on a goal that was offered to them. The second act was of much better quality but we do not score. We miss the check mark. It is not finished we are 4 points from sixth place. There are 44 points to be taken on the return matches. The second phase is going to be breathless and full of twists. We will recover the wounded of long time it will do good to the group. We must hang on.
Samuel Riscagli (Dijon coach): "The draw was fair and deserved. Marseille put a lot of pressure on us in the first quarter of an hour of the first period when we were able to block. The debates were balanced then! This kind of match is played on details, so it took a penalty to decide between us ... "
Linda Meresse (FA Marseille coach): "A victory we have been waiting for a long time. Against a direct opponent, and just before the truce, it's a very good thing! It was difficult but the girls went looking for her with determination and solidarity. It's encouraging. The work ends up paying. We must continue in this momentum ".
Nicolas Bach (Grenoble-Claix coach): "We are satisfied with this first half of the season. Even if OM does better. Now place for parties and rest after the cup.
