Like Julie Berger in attack, Emilie Artese has also put all his spirit in defense. As the low score in favor of Metz, proves it, since his club of Yzeure, only bowed on the smallest margin, 0-1 against the club of D1. Interview.
=> The summary of the match - Coupe de France (16th): Metz escaped against Yzeure
There was not much difference between your two teams, maybe a little more physics. What is your opinion on this?
We had two or three chances to score. After they are in D1, they have more structures, they are better prepared than us, I think it shows on the ground. In football, the slightest mistake is paid cash and that's what happened. The Coupe de France is the moment where we can shine. We did our best.
I think he missed a little bit of luck. On the kicks stopped we could have made the difference but there was still a foot that stopped the ball, on the centers also. After the slightest mistake, we pay cash, but we can be happy with us, anyway. We stand with our heads up.
You saw that the rock beat burgundy, you expected to achieve the same performance?
It is true that we did not know how to put our opportunities. We had not played for a long time. In the end we had heavy legs it was difficult to get the draw.
Last season, it was the same thing, and we're going to shoot-in-goal. We lost, but it's experience we take.
You are a part of the team by your seniority?
Yes I am an old but it is only since last season that I am in Yzeure. After I distil advice especially in the state of mind, must let go and work the week. That's what's important.
There's still some experience of the D1 with Yzeure, even if you're not only since last season for you?
Yes, after there are executives like Julie, Candice, Mélanie, Alice, Sarah, so when you have girls like that in this group, you can only progress, because these girls in training, they distill their advice and they have a very good state of mind. They have experienced the D1 and it is true that with the group that we have, the ranking (7th of D2) ultimately does not reflect the quality of our services. But we are going to work and then we have gone through some matches in which we should have won and it has not happened, but it is part of football. In the second half of the season, the goal is to arrive in the Top 5 and I think we are on the right track.
"We have another state of mind when it's the Coupe de France"
The Coupe de France, it's still a special moment for clubs that do not play in D1?
Yes, it's the adventure of the season I would say because it gets us out of our league and then it makes us go see different horizons, a little bit traveling and meet teams of D1 so I think that's always as a bonus for teams of D2 or DH, DHR, it's always a special moment. We have another state of mind when it's the Coupe de France ... we should have maybe all year (laughs). Tell yourself that every game is a Cup match.
So will you boost your meeting this weekend?
Yes, because here this weekend, we have no right to the mistake, it is at home, it takes the three points, nothing else.
Last question, we put it to Julie too, if you're Soccer Hearts, as you told me, you had to see it, it concerns the banner of Lyon fans at Lyon / Losc. What did you say to yourself when you saw that? You were amazed to see supporters say that women had no place in football?
Yes after what can I say? The human stupidity, she is in the stadiums, outside, must do with, and react to it from the captain of Lyon (Wendie Renard), because they are the supporters of his club. But it's a shame because today we can see that women's football is taking more and more space, especially in France, and we still make good benefits. We are a good example of combativeness, we are exemplary in the commitment and the state of mind. After as I said human stupidity, we can not change it ...
