D1 Feminine's historic club and six-time French champion, the last of which dates back to 2006. The FCF Juvisy had to face big opponents just after this season, to gradually become its leader in Lyon. Since last season in particular, the club essonnien perfect his strategy to return to the highest. But the club is slightly handicapped by its specificity 100% women's club, facing these opponents of the top 4 attached to men's clubs in Ligue 1, which have since then more resources for their women's team. This season will be a real test for Marie-Christine Terroni's club.

Led since 2015 by Emmanuel Beauchet, the club has decided to trust his coach for his second season that he addresses "first of all with a lot of motivation." A second season in the elite women's football he takes with "a little more distance from the championship, compared to the club" after his experience earned in D1 Feminine. His first year in office enabled him, in fact, to better evaluate the points to be reviewed for his second year. The coach from Essonne who told us that there are "very nice things to do in the sense that the management of the club has worked very well in the inter season, to improve things even more at the project level." This can induce a preparation even more careful than 2015. He who does not hide the fact that the club "has this desire, this ambition to go rub, to challenge the big championship of the championship and to be in the fight with these clubs there. " If they manage to hang teams like Paris, Lyon or Montpellier "It will be a good sign for us" he adds. To make the club will be able to count on the experienced Marina Makanza, new recruit of the formation, just like Léa Declercq arrived this summer at the club.

Youth to perfect the project

FCF Juvisy did not miss to integrate in its project, the young players. For Emmanuel Beauchet "the recruitment was judicious, relevant with young hopefuls that we welcome for a double project.A project both sporting, and at the same time personal development through studies, through training and in this meaning, I find that recruitment has been very consistent, very relevant with girls in the making. " One way to prepare the future for the club, he confirms.
The squad will also be able to rely on the U19 captain, Théa Greboval, the talent of Elisa De Almeida, who has done very good performances - despite not having participated in all the matches following a injury - or the midfielder Elise Legrout or the recent recruit from Lyon, Estelle Cascarino.

The recent U19 world champions, including young D1 hopeful Clara Mateo, have allowed the club to consolidate with players in constant progression. The club that had to parry the departure of Janice Cayman this season, will be able to align with the young attacker, to remedy this offensive lack.

A double-edged season

With the arrival of the three promoted Ligue 1 so we can say, this season of D1 Feminine is expected to be higher, as the corrobore Emmanuel Beauchet "I think the championship will be more homogeneous and we will attend more meetings , tighter. " For the coach "it is a good thing for the women's football and for the attractiveness of the championship, with indeed prestigious names of the football, the Olympique de Marseille, the Girondins de Bordeaux which will come to complete the championship," before 'also add that there is "the very big engines that are Paris and Lyon, which are the locomotives of the championship."

FCF Juvisy has an identity of its own game, which is in fact very powerful, based on the trust that we play each other, which creates a good symbiosis in the team, but sometimes has these flaws. So we asked how to make up for that. The coach stressed this fact also "it's a bit of the thoughts we had on the end of the season." But the Essonnien also reminded us that the club "really goes back on a new cycle, in the sense that last year, there were iconic and important girls in the group, who brought all their experiences (Nelly Guilbert , Amélie Coquet or Janice Cayman), their characters and the team had its qualities there. " This season, therefore, the club "goes back on something new, with much more youth" while adding that it is their responsibility "to prepare all that and set up a project and a game animation." So a way for Emmanuel Beauchet to draw a line on the previous exercise, while retaining the achievements, but it remains "something new to build ... and at the same time a desire to perform quickly".

The major asset of this team is still Gaetane Thiney, who did not hide the ambitions with his team "We want to go to Europe, annoy Lyon, PSG despite the restructuring of the club ...". The captain closed his intervention on the fact that "It's a year for us to show, we have quality players, a quality staff." She will also be supported by another attacker, who played in France team, Kadidiatou Diani.

The performance a key point of the football clubs, which was presented by the president of the club on Tuesday at the FFF and Emmanuel Beauchet also wanted to recall "it is part of the lines of work of the management, it is this which has been put in place at the club level and especially at the girls' level in the D1 group. " He explained to us his need within the FCF Juvisy "the pole performance is all about the management of training, the management of the monitoring of the player, both in the field but also in some aspects outside ground." A way for the club "to be attentive and to accompany the best" players.

The pre-season preparation was also supported this season for the team but "went very well". The Juvisiennes and the staff had "six weeks with four preparation games," which allowed to "develop" their game in relation to their "planning". Two days before their start of season, the coach wanted to remind that they enter "in the last moments," and that "the truth [on their preparation] will be Sunday at 15h [against Guingamp]."

Despite a 7-1 victory over the Breton club in a warm-up match, Emmanuel Beauchet is suspicious and confides that it is a "match to manage with much desire". For him it is necessary "to return in this season" because as it increases "when one spends six weeks to work, one has a goal in mind it is the first match." He emphasizes just as much the impatience of his team: "When one is player, it is always the return, always the desire to be there very quickly" confides it. It is therefore necessary "at the same time to manage this motivation, this desire and to be well present in front of this opponent who will have at heart to succeed at home his first match." It will take "so much desire and seriousness to succeed in entering the championship." As Marie-Christine Terroni underlined during the presentation of the D1 Feminine "The championship continues to progress, we want to go higher."
