In this third day of the D1 Feminine Championship, Juvisy faced Soyaux at home. The Essonnienne team had some cold sweats in this match, despite that the victory was won by Emmanuel Beauchet's club. We went to meet him at the end of this opposition.

A complicated match, what do you remember?
complicated in the sense that we have not scored enough in our high time ie in the beginning of the match. We opened the scoring pretty quickly and we should have taken cover and have a match in another face, we'll say. After things were more complicated in the sense that Soyaux gained confidence in her and hoped until the end of the match to make a good result. It could very well have happened, I think we had a little bit of success on the end of the game not to take the second equalizer. For us it's a lesson that costs nothing but we must learn some lessons from what we showed this afternoon. Even if we are happy with the result, I think we could have won 2 or 3-0 at halftime.

Pressing Soyaux made the task difficult for Juvisy, compared to Metz, what explains this?
I think we were a little bit below in the game and in the Masters. In the first half, we have to be able to keep the ball a little longer to calm the game a little bit to get a better start. And the same thing in second. We can do everything fast and we want all the time to go forward right away. While sometimes there are times when you have to calm down and show a little more patience and technical mastery, but the team, this explains a little bit sometimes.

How to explain the lack of success in front of the goal?
It's the goalkeeper, it's good intentions, after the success it is not played much but as long as we have this determination, I think in the first 15/20 minutes were really good. After that it is played for nothing, it is a very nice stop of the goalkeeper, it may be a balloon, it lacks much so me as long as we are in this state of mind there. It's hard to be tough with either of my attackers.

Do players in the French team bring a plus to the team?
We always had some, last year and previously too. Yes they bring a little. We know them even if we are vigilant and I am demanding with them. Of course we are happy and they bring a plus.

Camille Catala's unsuccessful attempts, rush or gambling intentions, game strategy?
After that depends on what zone it is on the ground, it depends on what situation it is. I remember balloons that she played from the outside to the inside, it's balloons that we have to manage better, that's where we have to propose something and sometimes we played too fast and we losing the ball, giving the ball back to the opponent. This is where you have to be more lucid and mastery in the construction phase and then trigger something in the last twenty meters. In this case, these are the things on which we have to work and progress.

Next game against Rodez, a strong opponent, what is your feeling before this meeting?
All matches are complicated, and all teams come with a lot of intention, well organized, and play with game plans in place so games are complicated. Paris was only 1-0 against OM last week at home. As I said last week, the championship will be more consistent, with tighter games, I think. So every Sunday will have to work, work and be rigorous and effective. Again at the level of the defensive rigor, we allow things or gestures, where we could have been punished in the second half. So good is a lesson to remember, we win the game, but we are aware that there are things to work. At the same time we are at the beginning of the season, we give ourselves objectives and it is rather a good thing but happy and happy of the victory above all.

The decisive Deville stop, will there be a rotation like last year with Benameur?
Celine is stopping the game where it is needed because again, I will not repeat myself but Celine actually makes the right stop. After the goalie, we have two good goalies, see two very good goalies, who work and we will see the week evolution and performance of Celine and Karima, which has small physical problems to manage, to treat. It's a little knee on which you have to pay attention. She was not able to train normally this week.

You had a little word for Sandrine in the second half, what did you tell her?
Sandrine, she is carried forward. That is to say, she wants to score a third goal but we defend well, we win the match so I do not need Sand anymore Sandrine in front, I need Sandrine behind and who defends well what. But again it's good intentions, except that sometimes wanting good intentions can be punished and take a goal while the match is won. So as the match is won, we have to defend and in the end I asked them to defend well. He had to defend well, not to take a goal and we won the match, that was the idea.
