After the knockout stage against PSG, Daniel Krawczyk, the coach was arrogant at the same time admiring the Paris team while having the feeling that his team did not steal from the event and the difficulty of the task. Despite the defeat and the gap, learning goes through this kind of matches especially for the youngest players in the squad of Arras.

"It is true that we see the difference in level, but for us it is extremely important matches, because we still see the difference, [with] for me professionals in front. 'In front [Patrice Lair], it's the pros, it's girls who train every day even twice a day, so it's sure that to compete it's very hard. I saw some interesting things because it did not let go (...) even the substitutes, the group did not let go and that's important because on matches like that, it can fall down altogether; is even a big satisfaction.

With the group I have, it's encouraging. I've been there for a year and a half, even with the vagaries of time with missing girls and I rarely play with the same team ... But since I'm here, I'm pleasantly surprised by what they do and what which is interesting is to see these young people progress. "

Matches that make you want to come back in D1?
"There is work, when we see the condition in the face.Yes, it would be really interesting, but we must recognize that we are not the same at home as we say.Will congratulate these girls, be aware of what is the high level, because it's high level (...) I saw a high level team today. "

Back to the championship ...
"Yes, this is the most important, now we will focus [on Le Mans] (...) I take match by match and for the moment it is doing well, so we will already focus on Le Mans; I do not have too many sores because it still has to shoot in the end, which is normal and yes of course, focused on Le Mans to try to win of course. "

Arras can he go to Lille and still play the climb this season?
"I assume that as long as there are points in the game ... There are still ten matches, so go get them I do not know (...) but of course we are not here to let them go quietly. If we can pick them up, we'll go get them, we'll not be embarrassed, whether Lille or someone else because there are other teams that have the same points as us [La Roche- on-Yon and Rouen], and there is quality in this group [group A of the D2 note] "

You spoke of the "high level" with a team like Paris in front. For you in Arras, what are the lines of work to try to bring it closer to this level?
"There's a lot of work, I'm already making progress because I still play a lot of young people, which is interesting and see the progression of young people.After that is sure if you want to go to the top level, it goes through something else, it goes through recruitment, the budget, increase at all levels.You can not compete with teams like that on a season, it's impossible.

You mentioned the youth of your team. There are a number of them in your team, some are international in youth. You also have a very good team in U19 [qualified for the Elite Challenge]. Today is your main reservoir for the future?
"We're aiming for it, it's there, we do not have the means to have teams like we saw so if we can not train young people, well I think that for us it will be very difficult but the goal is also to keep it, it will still be difficult given the quality that there is among young people [Arras]. "
