Bitterness, misunderstanding, a feeling of injustice. We found a Lille coach disappointed by the outcome of the match against Arras, this Sunday. A draw that deprives - momentarily - the players of Jeremie Descamps of their rise in D1 acquired yet May 14, before the case of four points removed.


The summary of the meeting => D2F (Arras / LOSC 0-0): The Lille girls see the climb escape


Soccer Hearts - Disappointed with the match?
Jérémie Descamps - It is the case to say it. After, we have not lost the spirit of being still in D1. We'll make calls and we'll see.


Football Hearts - It seems that this lost points affair has brought down your morale at this meeting?
J.D. - It is difficult to prepare a week when the girls have done all they need [to be in D1]. Today, we did not see the real face of LOSC because it's hard to get over it, we had a complete relaxation and at the end of the day we did not work for 2 weeks. We intended to come to Arras quietly. But hey, the spell wanted it otherwise.


Hearts of Foot - There was a lot of tension between Lille and Arrageoises? There were several boxes.
J.D. - We knew they would not give us a present. We felt that it was very important to make a result against Arras but it's like that, it's a football game. A match is won. We had the opportunity to do it, but we did not do it. After, we made a draw in the 3rd that would have been a good result on the season.


Soccer Hearts - What did you miss?
J.D. - We missed success, the one we usually have. We play, we create opportunities. We did everything to break the rhythm, we could have put them in difficulty. The game plan was simple: lose time, pace. But we did not do the right thing and we'll see afterwards [about lost points].


Football Hearts - The story of the match against La Roche, is a player who entered without being registered?
J.D. - No. It's an extraordinary thing. Licenses were given to the players. Everything had been checked. We went through the DNCG, everywhere. From the moment the Federation gives a license to a player, it is estimated that it can be played. We trust them. In any case, the club will do what it takes for calls.


"The team that deserves to be sporting is us."


Soccer Hearts - Should the players be pampered?
J.D. - That's normal. We have just removed from them the title they have acquired sportingly. We did a good championship. I am not pretentious but we are a team that deserves to ride. After if the players of La Roche are happy, good for them. The team that deserves to be sporting is us. We will assert our right because we feel aggrieved in this matter.


Soccer Hearts - Do you know when will you get the answer?
J.D. - I hope as soon as possible because there is a season to prepare. We will blow a little, see what Lille will decide.


Football Hearts - I heard at one point in the stands, at the end of the match, that you had celebrated the title a bit too fast.
J.D. - No. We were champions 2 weeks ago (May 14 against La Roche, with a 5-1 win) so I do not see the report. We did the right thing, we beat the 2nd of the championship which is La Roche. We think we deserved to go up and we noticed this week that we got points. People will say what they want but it does not interest me. What interests me is what has been shown sportingly and justice done.
