Find different reactions collected after this first day of D2 and the tributes paid by the coaches following the death of Alain Morzières.
Group A:
Patrick Le Goff (Bischheim coach): "This is the hard reality for us. The difference between DH and D2 for most of my players. It's up to us to work even harder to close this gap. "
Lionel Mack (Vendenheim coach): "A lot of frustration because we dominated our opponent but we lacked efficiency in the last gesture. Given the large number of open opportunities, we can feed regrets. Now we must question ourselves, get back to work and not to cogitate, we have an important match next week in Lillers where I expect to react. "
Frédéric Biancalani (coach of AS Nancy Lorraine): "Disappointed with the result but especially with our content in the first half. Few pace, absent in the duels and we get punished on a deep ball and a lack of appreciation. A second period more intense where we must at least equalize but we lack lucidity. Congratulations to Saint Denis who did not give up. "
Julie Wojdyla (FC Metz player): "A win that is good and that positively launches our season. I think we have been solid both defensively and offensively and what made the difference today is also a lot of envy! "
Éric Akoun (St Denis coach): "Happy with this away win at one of the favorites at the climb. In our game content, we were very strong in all compartments of the game and we opened the score logically and we should have killed the match earlier to avoid suffering during the strong period of Nancy. But it is in this one that we put this second goal and I think that this victory is not stolen but deserved. Still, Nancy has a great team and should rebound in the next games. "
Nicolas Carric (Val d'Orge coach): "After a good start, we managed to open the score by one of our recruits, Marine. After a heavy low tactical time related to the 3-5-2 proposed by Henin, we were able to stay solid and double the stake thereafter. A solid second half where we should have taken cover more quickly. Keep your feet on the ground and immediately focus on Arras. A thought to the girls and the club of Aurillac-Arpajon for this difficult period. "
Group B:
Grégory Mleko (coach of Yzeure): "Complicated tonight to say a reaction because my friend Alain is deceased and I think for his family and for his players but satisfied with the players who deserved this victory. Good beginnings. "
Rachid Ait Bouqdir (coach Angers): "This first match confirms all the work done by the group, even if in the first half, we have not lived up to the line of action was fixed. The players made a beautiful second half concluding our domination against a good Lorient team. "
Christophe Charbonnier (Le Mans coach): "An average match from us but a deserved victory. We will stay on the 4 points that will allow us to work serenely this week. "
Fabrice Garin (St Malo coach): "It was a good match between two teams who feared each other. The Girondines were able to enjoy with realism our bad start of 2nd half. "
Pascal Lamagnère (Arlac coach): "Disappointed to start with a defeat but aware of losing against a team that will surely be in the first three or four. We are learning. The players are attentive and aware of the way to go. We go out of four seasons in DH it is necessary to forget the facility, on this level the errors are paid cash. I think the season is going to be complicated for everyone. "
Group C:
Fly Lahouari (coach Flacé Mâcon): "A good state of mind. A respect of the instructions. We have been united. A discovery of the D2 for us but it's annoying to take the equalization in the 88th. "
Sylvain Delgado (Toulouse FC coach): "A big disappointment today. The group was ready and cruelly missed their first half. We have sinned in physical impact and commitment. Three individual mistakes cost us three goals on their actions alone. The group reacted well in the second half showing a quite different control but bumping into a guardian of the big days. Great regrets but a blow that will put the ideas in place. "
Pierre-Yves Thomas (Le Puy coach): "We are too late in our athletic preparation, our match has quickly turned into a good preparation game. Against a beautiful and formidable team of Claix Grenoble who is already in the rhythm. I would have liked to see their reaction if we had scored on our first two chances. We took a good slap, we will be able to refocus and rework to regain our level of last season. The Macon match next weekend is already very important. And I especially wanted to have a thought for the relatives of Alain Morzières and for the club of Aurillac. "
Laurent Robert (FA Marseille coach): "It was a very difficult match against a nice Toulouse team in place and playing nice football. We managed to get into the match girls. We put in place what we had worked and planned to counter the opposing team. Our 1st half was correct both tactically and technically. The 2nd was much harder physically but we managed to preserve and advance. And to conclude I am proud of my players who have made efforts to preserve this small goal in advance. Congratulations to the whole team. "
Linda Maresse (FA Marseille captain): "This is a victory we have been looking for in the effort, despite a team from Toulouse who did not let go and pushed hard to get back to the score. Applied and rigorous on the defensive aspect.We created a lot of opportunities, three of which were concretized and very well built.The team was supportive and courageous until the last second.Really happy with the state of mind of our team! "
Maxime Clain (Nivolas coach): "A logical defeat against a better prepared and more armed team than us, who was able to kill the game in 3 minutes on the hour."
Nicolas Bach (coach of Grenoble): "A big thought for Alain who has accompanied me today. So above all we wanted to pay tribute to him by giving a good image of football. And women's football. I think both teams did that. We had to start with a victory. It's done. Now we have a big test coming against Dijon. "
