Four victories, four defeats, two games postponed and a draw to conclude the year 2016, Emmanuel Beauchet yesterday made his statement on this start of the season quite mixed for the club Essonne. Interview.

A rather disappointing match at the end of the year, what will you retain?

Disappointing ... it's the result we wanted better, and it's our first period that is insufficient in terms of intensity, commitment, accuracy, the desire to be decisive, especially in the last 30 meters. In the second half we reacted, but we came across a team regrouped, with a goalkeeper who made the necessary stops, the important stops. Then we failed to unblock the situation.

"You have to want to do it, want to make the effort"

Do you think that the situation could have been different, have another strategy of play, another approach in view of this result?

No I do not think, in the first half we were disappointing in the intentions. When we are at home against a defense that has taken 30 goals in the season (Bordeaux), we do not need strategy. I take the ball, I eliminate, I center, I shoot and I score. Except that we must want to do it, want to make the effort and in the first half we were not in this register, so it's really disappointing on the part of some.

"it fits on one side for some and it stands out on the other"

Can the absence of a framework like Thiney explain this?

(think) It's always better when everyone is there and it's always better when you have Gaetane, of course, but today is not an excuse. We had to show at the level of the determination of each, quite another thing. That's what is disappointing, because the message has been given for some time, the work is oriented in this way at the group level and it comes on one side for some and it stands out from the other and that's pretty annoying, so we will have to resume [this message] as soon as we resume on December 28th.

We also saw that the young people seemed a little more involved in the game, like Thea Greboval?

There is enthusiasm, there is envy, after that it's not always right, sometimes it's the temperament, it's the passion that carries forward, and it sometimes lacks clairvoyance, barely. Thea was eager to react, to show positive things and we know the value of Thea.

What will you change in the second half of the season?

Already we will go on vacation and then we will see later. It's not bad for today.

Are you recruiting new players for your squad, expanding it and filling a certain gap, especially when there are wounded or international competitions?

That's internally, these are reflections within the club and if I could bring you some answers, I would do it but it's not for me to do it and then I have no elements to you bring in this area of ​​recruitment (laughter).

It's a job that will be done at the level of management ... eventually.

A point about the wounded, with Gaetane?

So Gaetane was a blow to the abdomen she took against PSG [last Saturday] and this week she was in care, and out of caution we made the decision Thursday not to test in the playing today. I think she still needs to look after herself. She felt pain. She was not able to play because she still had abdominal pains.

And about Charlotte Bilbault?

So Charlotte is training again. She started again just with the band this week, but in an organized way, so she was not ready to play.

"To be able to give of one's investment, to answer present"

At the beginning of the season, you were very much in the accompaniment of your players, with the arrival of young people to create a homogeneous team, do you put some pressure on them to make them understand your game strategy?

It's part of the apprenticeship, the journey in the season, after we know we had a period where we could not work as we wanted, long, much too long, and a period where we did not play no moreover, we had to postpone two championship games. It is very disturbing in our work, in the preparation, because we feel we did not advance much during this period and it is true that we have been deprived too long of too many players. Here. But we must adapt and the state of mind must be irreproachable especially exemplary. It is here that we must re-focus the work. Being able to give of his investment, to answer present when it is necessary, and not to count on his teammate ...

"You have to get by and that's what will be interesting in the second half of the season."

We imagine that for If you finish below the 4th place it would be a failure Yes, but we are already finding a group with values, with qualities of humility, abnegation, simplicity, efficiency. Once again this period of November when we were deprived of 5 major players, we strongly penalized in this beginning of the championship. It's pretty surreal to be in a league where you have to postpone two games and you're deprived of 5 major players. So now, we will rebuild, rework with an approach from the start of the December 28, compared to this group who is young, who needs to learn, who also needs chess to can also move forward. Because we are a group too young, but it is also learning, it is also trainer. We learn difficult season, difficult moments but we must get by and that's what will be interesting in the second half of the season."to restore the club's image through work, humility, self-sacrifice, progress and move forward together."

Just where does this problem of simplicity come from?

It's a whole, it's the history of the club, except that the iconic players who have made the history of the club, are no longer there and that now we must work and restore the club's reputation through work, by humility, self-sacrifice, progress and move forward together. But do not believe that we are at the level of what was Juvisy at these finest hours. We do not replace Sandrine Soubeyrand, Nelly Guilbert, snapping fingers, it was girls symbols, girls who have carried the team and the club to the highest. They are exceptional girls, who have been international and have marked the history of the club and a little further so do not believe that because we wear the jersey, we are these girls, we are far. I give this message to explain things well and that everyone has objectives and that we are in humility, simplicity, and defend the club and the jersey with conviction, with strength and that we do especially no proof of sufficiency or lightness and that is the most annoying. That's what bothered me the most, but believe me the message and the daily work is done and given every day. But again, they are girls who are young, who are learning and sometimes when we are young we make a mistake, we need to take big disappointments, slaps and then leave again so we will have to have both this message, and then accompany them, advise them, be demanding every day with each one, be very vigilant about the state of mind, respect and be able to give back, be aware of giving back, and not take and to consume things because on the ground it does not work that way.

"what we want is to be exemplary and nothing to be reproached for the efforts, the commitment."

In the field, do not the players have a feeling of "inferiority" compared to the Top 3 clubs?

(sigh) I'll be very clear, you have seen the PSG, the numbers, Montpellier, Lyon, must be realistic ...

It is a club that works differently with its philosophy, with its dual project (football / study or work) and that tries to balance a balanced action for girls and at the same time to be successful and give a very good image . But it is an operation that is totally different, what we want is to be exemplary and nothing to be reproached on the efforts, the commitment. That's what made the strength of the club, the simple things, to fight, to wet the jersey, to make efforts for each other all the time and at the same time, to have this collective value. This is essentially the focus of the work, but that's important. After Paris, Lyon, Montpellier, it's something else, it's another operation.

Just like Bordeaux this season?

But you told me about these clubs so I'm answering you about these clubs (smile). After the championship evolves, the level of the championship is better and more homogeneous, so every weekend the matches are complicated and difficult.

A team supported by the club, the men's team, the fans?

Most certainly, good for them, and for them.

In relation to these promoted teams, how did you find them?

Bah Bordeaux, they have not played much, they are not much out and they have remained a lot behind, we will say, if we can afford it (editor's note). They have been quite grouped, they have played with their strength and they are right because they earn 1 point.
