The reaction of Emmanuel Beauchet, the coach of Juvisy after the elimination in shoot-but-goals of his team against Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France.

"[It was] a superb match of Coupe de France, very tight, very engaged, very disputed. We were led to score [and] I think we did not get very well in the game. We struggled to win duels especially in the middle and Paris scores very fast on a set kick.

And then, we have a little better play, we came out, we created a lot of situations, we hit the post and 1-0, everything was possible and after the second half, we have made a beautiful second half, with a lot of commitment, determination. I think we dominated this Parisian team with hot situations in front of the goal of Paris.

And here we come back, and it was really logical, we saw only one team in the second half. Paris opposed us but maybe could not do more or we were better than them tonight. It is both a great pride because we are not in the same operation, we are not in the same register and see what we can do, it is extremely encouraging.

After that, there is the disappointment of the series of penalties and not having the reward of our efforts and what we showed tonight. "

"Stay totally determined on this end of the season"
"We are getting closer, we are progressing. On the matches we see, we are growing. The results show it and the contents show it. We are not dominated, quite the opposite. But after that, we will have to remain mobilized, we will have to remain totally determined on this end of the season, on the championship and have the objective to have the same desire, the same will, the same tactical rigor for not that the soufflé falls. we must not relax and be really mobilized on our course in the league.

I hope we will make all these experiences fruitful. Montpellier, Lyon twice, Paris Saint-Germain twice, we had a month of February quite exceptional. We had the pleasure of meeting twice Olympique Lyonnais, twice the Paris Saint-Germain who are the most beautiful teams in Europe. And despite everything, we showed a very beautiful face. It's extremely motivating and extremely interesting for the future. "

What is missing at Juvisy to beat teams like Paris or Lyon
"A little bit of maturity, a little bit of experience. In all positions, they have only experienced girls, seasoned girls, girls performing internationally. We are young sometimes, so we grow up, we do our apprenticeship, we rub our big cars and we see that we can do good things. After all we want is that at some point it smiles, that it turns in our favor. I think we're getting closer to it "
