This Saturday, November 7, the Paris Saint-Germain moves on the ground of La Roche-sur-Yon. The Parisian women remain on four consecutive victories with 22 goals scored and only one goal conceded. An excellent dynamic for the team of the capital that allows them to occupy the third place, three points from Montpellier and five from Olympique Lyonnais. For Coeur de Foot, Erika, the Brazilian defender of PSG, returns on his first goal, on the last match against Saint-Etienne, as well as the Brazilian selection.
Soccer Hearts: You scored your first goal against the "Green" ...
Erika: "I'm happy to have scored my first goal with the PSG jersey. I am happy to help PSG. I admit that it was not exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to lob, but not so much ... Finally the important thing is that the ball came back. I am not someone who strikes a lot but when I have the opportunity, I would do it. "
Hearts of Foot: Facing the Stéphanoises, you played in the middle of the field, you prefer to play this post?
Erika: "I think I played very badly. Recently I played a lot in central defense and against Saint-Etienne, I held the position of 6, that of Caroline Seger, but I admit that I am a little more offensive. What is certain is that I play where Farid (note: Benstiti) puts me on the field. I want to play, do my best and I will never refuse to play in this or that position. I want to help the team, whether in front, in the middle or behind, it does not matter to me. I find in any case that against the Stephanoises, probably because of the changes within the team, I have not been at my best level, with some missed passes. I will improve myself. I want to play and especially I do not want to be on the bench. "
Hearts of Football: Facing Saint-Etienne, the victory was long to take shape?
Erika: "For me we did not play well. There were quite a few changes in the team during the week before the match, mainly because some players returned injured from international matches. These changes can be detrimental because even if the team changes quite often before, behind there is a certain regularity. Against Saint-Etienne there were also changes in the midfield and in defense, and it created us some difficulties to develop our game. However the most important thing was the victory. We were happy to win because what counts are the results. "
Football hearts: The Brazilian selection has made two games against the United States, 1-1 draw and 3-1 defeat on North American soil, what can we say about it?
Erika: "These are always tough games against the Americans. But we must remember that today there are no more 'weak' selections, even in South America there is more competitiveness. This is a satisfaction for us because it shows that women's football continues to evolve. As for the Brazilian selection, we are in a training phase, because we must remember that eleven players are not in Brazil, which pose some problems. Each time we find ourselves in concentration with the 'Seleção', we have to train a lot to find the automatisms. While the United States has a permanent, closed group, which is still training together. There is some inequality but I think that little by little, we will try to catch up with the USA. "
Paris Saint-Germain is moving this Saturday, November 7 to La Roche-sur-Yon on behalf of the 9th day of the D1 Feminine.
