The reaction of the coach of Montpellier, Jean-Louis Saez after the victory of his team on the field of Juvisy, in this first shock of the season at the top of the table. With him, we talk about the game and the game of Montpellier at the beginning of the season.
"It was a match where we did not want to lose points (...) I think it's good, we stay on the dynamics, the momentum of the beginning of the season. We have a great efficiency in the surfaces of truth and I think that the high-level football demands this requirement (...) It is what allowed us to win this meeting.
"Juvisy is a team that plays Europe (...) trained with players who are in the France group so it's a quality team and for us today to bring back three points, it's a great performance. It is true that the content of the match, it was quite open, it was our intention to pick them up, to pack the pace and it allowed us to open the score to return to a state of mind also not to attack the second half to defend.
And by attacking, we were rewarded with a second goal. I think that still, by insisting a little more with a little less waste in the transition phases, they had a big empty run of 10-15 minutes where we could have scored the third and seal the match. And then after the last 10-15 minutes, Juvisy is sure to look to push and we held even if we took that goal at the last second.
"Go to jostling them"
"There were two choices, let them give the initiative of the game, suffer and counter, what we are able to do but at the same time I think I'm going to jostle them in a physical challenge thwarted them I think a good part of the match.
"To the extent that the coach demands a high recovery, and we saw it on the goal we take at the end. We will do a dry cleaning, there is a player who is late and behind we take the goal so it's the efforts together, it's true that it's a big job (...) during the week and we allows to have a strong enough collective and girls united and welded and when it allows us to recover balloons high enough, we are able to play. What I liked a little today is that we have not had too much depth, they have mastered us well on the depth but we were able to chain some collective game sequences that were quite interesting like Juvisy had some footage too and I think it was a nice game for the audience. "
"This is progress that we made between last year and this year when last year we were projecting fast forward now, we are in alternation to prepare a little better, to have a short game and it allows us at some point to have more confidence in the periods when we are a little more in the hard to be able to keep the ball so I would say that this is what I try to work my team, on a game a little fast, to project quickly forward and at the same time a game of possession, an alternation between the short game and the fast game »
