After the lost match against Montpellier, the first impressions of the coach of Juvisy, Emmanuel Beauchet, inevitably disappointed by the outcome of the meeting but also with the feeling that the most playful team was not necessarily rewarded.

"Tonight is a lot of feelings. First, disappointment with the result and the way things were done. I think we are sanctioned in the first half by a free kick that is generous. That's part of the game. Montpellier had not been very dangerous, we were relatively well organized, well in place and solid defensively.

But also in the game, I think we were a little rushed and we dropped the ball a little too fast so we can do better at the technical mastery and we did not put the game and built as we can, to put Montpellier a little more in difficulty. It was dangerous that on the kicks stopped in the first half, so at half-time I asked the girls, the group to break free, to be a little more just in the middle transmissions to build a little more (...) and then to say that we had to take initiatives and get free then we were led 1-0.

"A blow to the head at a difficult time"

And we knew that Montpellier was going to wait for us and go play the shots thoroughly in front of what is their weapon and their strong point and that goal in the second half, it will come very quickly. We had a blow to the head at a difficult time. And after, I think we are pretty well distributed and we ended the game pretty well with some situations and I think two opportunities with the return of Tatiana Coleman also who has been present and who has created two dangerous situations . (...) We could have come back I think and tear the draw with a little more accuracy and success. Here are the findings between this Montpellier team that is mature, solid, extremely realistic that comes out on the good shots and that has not many opportunities and which ultimately marks two goals.

(...)

[There is] this feeling a bit of injustice too, because we [had] a willingness to play, a willingness to be in an offensive animation that works more or less well depending on the matches but that makes it part of the game and a Montpellier team that is in a rigorous game plan, defensive and uses the quality of its attackers. It's findings with a team a little younger this year, a team that asks to work to mature, to work together and to mature through these high-level games, since it was the first confrontation against a team of the top 3 / top 4 and it is also the moment to evaluate oneself, to test oneself and to make a balance sheet in relation to this kind of confrontations which are confrontations of high level.

"Everyone had prepared their match"

[Tonight, we saw] two teams that tried to be vigilant, very well organized defensively, not to leave gaps or breaches to the opponent, so there was a first half where both teams were very hard on the defensive and finally a match, not closed, but where we did not see many chances of goals on both sides, situations but no opportunities. Both teams were very determined, well organized and I think everyone had prepared their match and nobody wanted to expose themselves.

(...) It's small details that have tipped the game, on this free-kick on the side of Montpellier and that is a considerable advantage. Because after we [can] manage the game, wait for the good moves and be solid behind so it's more the same physiognomy and conversely you have to multiply efforts, initiatives try to create without making mistakes it's always this problem (...) when you take a goal "
