Gaëtane Thiney's reaction after the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France against PSG. A Juvisy captain satisfied with the performance of his team despite the elimination in shot-ends.

"[I am] disappointed by the obviously happy outcome of the content and the energy that we put in this match against a team that still has international players in all the lines. Nevertheless, it is a team that builds very well for the future. I'm going to stay positive because of course we're disappointed and at the same time it's difficult because when we lose penalties, there are a lot of girls who want to be so that really is a sport co [llectif] so there's no one to point fingers.

We had a great time, together and we would have liked it to be even more wonderful obviously but we are very happy to play like that and we miss the bit of success, the last goal because we could have been score before the penalties but now ... it's sad but it's like that. "

Paris made a lot of mistakes in this match, a sign that you have jostled them. That's one of the positives?
"It's good that we pressed them very high. We held 90 minutes, I think that physically we were better than they were at the end and here we put a lot of pressure and we saw that when we put the pressure on the big teams, they are in trouble in the revive so we get the balloons, we go ahead and then finally we create more situations than they, more shots than they and we make a full match. We miss a little bit of accuracy at the end on a corner, small details that make the difference and that's what to work. "

The memory of the match two weeks ago against Paris in the league helped to prepare this quarter-final?
"Yes, because we were very disappointed with the match two weeks ago. In fact we have the impression that we had not given everything, we had not been ambitious enough and we played with the handbrake so today we decided to go get them and that's what we did, we did it well and we miss nothing because in the end they have, except the bar at the end, otherwise they have only the first opportunity we give them [ on] a small mistake on our part, and that's it, so it's a shame. "

The words of Emmanuel Beauchet at half-time
"[They told us] to raise our level of play because in the first half, we rushed a little bit. And I think it was necessary, and we did it again in the second half, we continue to play, to play and to put the impact in the duels, not to be eaten because in the high level, the duels, it's a bit of the key to the game and I think we have demonstrated that we were there in the duels. And then, we tried to return to the score, and it was done very beautifully so it shows that there is quality both in youth than in the other players who are in this team. "

"Go get the fourth place"
"Yes, now the goal is to demonstrate that we are good against the other teams and not against PSG, Lyon. I think it's a difficulty we had at the beginning of the season, not knowing how to play the game against a team that was in place so now we'll have to go up the sleeves, let go and not believe that the season is over because we have more big teams or goals. One of the objectives is clear, it is to go for fourth place and show that this first half of the season, it was mistakes and for that it will have to take all the matches seriously and the play fully to show that we are better than we have been tonight. "

Back from America with the She Believes Cup
"We had a great internship, so that went well. We win the trophy, that's good. It's good for the future, we must continue, gain experience against big teams as we did. After the trip, it was a bit difficult yesterday and the day before yesterday with the jet lag but hey it's a hazard, we must take over mentally and finally today it was so we did not excuses. But with the Blue, it's going very well. "
