Just after the match gleaned 3-2 against OM, the coach of Montpellier, Jean-Louis Saez spoke to our microphone on this meeting, which almost turned to vinegar for his team.


Football Hearts - Your reaction on this match.

Jean-Louis Saez - Happy to take the 3 points, it was a very good time but with the release of Toletti, the end of the match was complicated.


CDF - Exactly, do you have news of him?

J-brs. - We wait to know what she has but it's still traumatic.


CDF - This has broken the dynamics of your team. We felt that your players were affected.

J-brs. - Yes. It had already happened to training with Sofia (Jakobsson) and we could not continue. The girls are very sensitive and I think that they were big on the heart on the exit of Sandie and I hope that it is not too serious.


CDF - Did you expect to have an opponent like Olympique de Marseille pushing you to your limits?

J-brs. - Marseille is a team that has just won against the 4th of the ranking (note: the Paris FC). It will go through this victory on the return matches and they will leave nothing until the end of the season. Given the physiognomy of the game, I think we should have won more widely. I will remember that the OM did not let go until the end and defended well. We scored 3 goals on 6-7 chances even if we usually put a little more.


CDF - What went wrong in your game?

J-L.S - I think it's on the occasions. At 3-0, the match can be folded and want to manage, we attacked less. We took that goal at the last second which meant that it ended at 3-2 and it could have been wide for us.


CDF - We have seen that your players also have a similar profile that is very offensive. It does not hurt you, maybe?

J-brs. - We have a game that is worn towards the attack. It's true that we did not manage well and we played more in the 2nd half, especially at the end of the match. It is always necessary to have the intention to score goals, play the game and not manage as we did today. But we learn, I finish with girls who are around 22 years old and you also have to know how to manage your age.


CDF - And how do you see the rest of the season including the games against OL and PSG?

J-L.S - We are 6 pts from Lyon when we were 25 pts 4 years ago. We want to progress, to shake up a little hierarchy because Lyon and PSG are the two big cars, they are part of the best teams in Europe. To compete with them makes us happy to be where we are.


CDF - Are you going to recruit to expand your team?

J-brs. - We are always on the lookout for an opportunity, we always have the will to advance the players. We can get better, stronger but I already have a good group with girls who work well. Give them time to grow, to store. I have some young people who are interesting but we will see and we must not have too many injuries.


CDF - Last question concerning your two players called in Team France, Marie-Charlotte Léger and Marion Romanelli. I think you should be happy to re-see them in A.

J-brs. - Let's say they are part of a larger list that the coach, Corinne Deacon, has targeted. Me, I tell my players to work every day in training so that we have play time in France team. We must be able to answer this and it is players of the future. Through work, they may be able to make their hole. Now, the path is long when we are called, it's a small walk and I will tell them not to relax. Being remembered is good but the hard part starts.
