The life of a footballer is not always pink, past the glitter of the tenors, most players do not fight against themselves but must also remain strong despite the vagaries of football. Félicité Hamidouche, a former Parisian, native of Pontoise has settled in several clubs, until Bordeaux since this season. An experienced player, who is a great asset to the club promoted. We wanted to talk with her a few weeks before the end of this 2016/2017 season, in the race to maintain.
Hearts of Football - So before talking about your course which is rather rich in movements (from one club to another), I wanted to have your feelings on this season in Bordeaux a few weeks of the finish? There are four more games left to play for the Girondin club.
Félicité Hamidouche - It was a pleasure to replay in D1 after all his adventures on a personal level. My feeling on the sporting level is a taste of unfinished, accompanied by a disappointment because we could have done better on some meetings.
There are still good points of satisfaction with a good evolution of the team during this year. But the lack of experience has been lacking at times.
We have 4 games left, we will do our best to score as many points as possible, but we do not have our destiny in our hands anymore. Everything is possible in football, so we will see what the future will hold for us.
Football Hearts - Have you experienced a lot of emotions since the beginning of the season?
F.H. - It was an immense joy to replay in D1, for me. To make a full season and especially to be in a club of renown like the Girondins de Bordeaux, which is a very well structured club and with a sports director who knew the high level. In addition we have a staff and two very human leaders, listening and who we put each time in the best conditions.
I think that my best emotion was during the match against Juvisy where we could snatch a draw at home. My frustration, not my frustrations, has started since Guingamp's match or has failed to win key matches. At times the moods of each took over the collective and I think it was not beneficial for the team.
"I had been told that we would spend the year defending"
Football Hearts - You joined the club this season last July. We had questioned the coach and Chloé Billaud during the preparation and they said that the state of mind will be the basis of your promoted team, with a constant requirement to improve your level of play? How did you apprehend him this season for you?
F.H. - Before signing to the Girondins, I was told that we would spend the year to defend so I was prepared.

Football Hearts - In hindsight, what did you miss during the go phase until today with Bordeaux?
F.H. - I think that we can indeed defend for a whole match, but we are not immune to an individual error [that will cause the opponent's goal]. But there is mostly frustration with the fact that we can not be effective in the finishing area. Because it becomes difficult to win a match, when you can not put a goal, or even a goal more than the opponent. It's something we're constantly working on, but it's getting hard to put into real situations ...
Football Hearts - Of all your matches going, see return, which one was the most intense according to you?
F.H. - Of course the most intense match was against Lyon. At home everything is well ground, it goes fast and technically it's clean. It's the best team in Europe.
Hearts of Football - If you have to remember a club you've been through, it's definitely the PSG, but we know that there was not the same magnitude for women. Was there any pride in playing for this club at that time for you?
F.H. - Coming from the Paris region, every Parisian dreams of playing PSG one day. I could say later "I played it".
Football Hearts - What do you think of the evolution of PSG today, who is once again playing in the Champions League final on Saturday?
F.H. - It's a good thing for women's football to always have a French team in the last four of a prestigious competition.
Football Hearts - You've played with some very great players today, when you were in young singles, just to mention Wendie Renard, Eugenie Le Sommer, Kenza Dali and many others. How does it happen at this time, when you are young, and especially when there is not the same attraction around women's football, to choose to go further in your career or to focus on other projects?
F.H. - Actually I played with very big players, who are now international.
For my part I have always combined my studies in sport and today I am satisfied. I acquired a lot of skills in Human Resources and Communication.
Football Hearts - Are you participating in the Euro U19 in 2008 and 2009, these are moments that must be intense for a young player? What do you keep today?
F.H. - I have very good memories of it (European Championship). Representing your country is an intense pleasure and it is a great pride to have had the chance to wear this jersey [Blue] that any French player would have wanted to wear at least once in her life.
This kind of opportunity you do not have 15000 in your career. It's his memories that taught me to enjoy every moment.
Football Hearts - Today you are a key element of Bordeaux, we can say, you were even a captain, so that proves that you have a great experience and that you are more able to manage during games, even if we know that for a promoted it remains complicated. This is a position that you try to assume or as a "news" you are more tuned than giving directions?
F.H. - Yes I am still [captain], I try to share my experience by listening to others, but also giving indications, when necessary, not to scratch the ego or the susceptibility of some.
I start from the premise that we all have to learn from each and every advice or opinion is good to take, as long as it remains in the objectivity and for the common good.
Football Hearts - The result of this Saturday between Saint-Etienne and Metz you will probably look forward to it? Because even if it can be complicated, mathematically the last three teams of the wholesale ranking, are still fighting for the maintenance?
F.H. - Yes we do not have our destiny in our hands. Everything will depend on the outcome of this weekend, to know if we still have a bit of hope or not ..
Football Hearts - This Wednesday's match against you against Lyon will be your penultimate match at home before receiving Juvisy as well, you expect to do better than go to your audience? (8-0 against Lyon and 0-0 against Juvisy)
F.H. - I will not participate in this game against Lyon because I have been injured since Albi's match.
Yes every game is an eternal restart and obviously whatever the opponent, we play every weekend [since January] trying to do better than the go.
Football Hearts - I do not know if you've already thought about it but you're staying in Bordeaux the following season or you do not know yet?
F.H. - I do not know yet, I'm waiting to meet the club management to decide.

Football Hearts - Last question, I saw that you were a big fan of music too? What exactly are you doing about it?
F.H. - Yes, I really like music and everything that is artistic. I play the piano when I have the opportunity. I do not spend the day without listening to music and according to my mood my repertoire changes. I listen to everything and I will end with this sentence of an artist produced by the ROHFF Foolek Empire label called Alain De L'ombre (A2L): "they want to stop us, boycott us, but we do not fall. .. " Understand who will want to understand (note).
