In attack Julie Berger, tried to reverse the scenario for Yzeure. It was a delicate task, but the club was at a standstill at times. Originally from Yzeure, Julie played the six seasons in D1 at the club of Auvergne. His experience was a great asset to his team in this match. Interview. => The summary of the match - Coupe de France (16th): Metz has escaped from Yzeure. So you're from Yzeure, you played the six seasons in D1, before going into D2. How do you explain it? Yes I am from here, I played six years in D1, it was really a beautiful course. We did two great seasons in D2, we almost climbed to very few things (2nd in 2016 and 2015) but this year it's a little more complicated but here is my career is like that, I love this club so this is the main. After if we can go back to D1, it will be with pleasure. There was a tough match, it was a difficult match for you against Metz, you were still two fingers to draw and go to the shoot-out. How did you debrief your meeting? Well, I think that where we fished a little bit physically, because we had not played for a long time, we struggled to train with the weather conditions. It's a shame because I think there was really a way, even if we went to the penaltys, I think we would have really had a chance. Yes a little regret, but it's football. In addition you still stopped a lot of opportunities, including one on the penalty, it shows that the match was tight between the two teams too? Yes yes it was very tight. On both sides, the goal could have been scored, but it was they who scored. After Olesya (Arsenyeva) she makes us stop on the penalty, I think that if we would have gone to the penalty shoot-out, she would have been good enough because she is quite good at it so yes it's pity. It may lack a little experience. There you told me that you had a rather complicated season, how does it explain? The coach told me that you had lost players in the inter-season, that you have not recruited enough? Yes we lost three players, including, so after we recruited but it takes time to adapt and then have to reshape the entire team so it's a little more complicated. Then it is true that we are a group quite young, need time to have the level. How do you see the rest of the season for Yzeure (currently 7th of D2), what is the place you are aiming for today? We are aiming for the top 5 because I think we really have the means. There we met all the teams, so we know that there is no big gap between us so I think we can make a good second half of the season. After that it's up to us to play and I hope that where we lost points in the first leg, we will win them in the return matches. You are indisputable holder, there you played the 90 minutes, you are one of the most experienced in the group, so you have to distil a little your advice to the team, especially young? Yes, it's true that I've been here for thirteen years and I've known all the ladder with this club, so all the young people who arrive, we try because we're older, to give them everything what we've learned, all we've experienced and push them up with us and have a really best group possible. Last question, I do not know if you saw the banners of last week of Lyon / LOSC, some supporters Lyonnais, "the men at the stadium, the women in the kitchen". What did you think about your side? Me it does not surprise me much because there are "there are idiots everywhere" and there will always be macho even if it is the girls who win everything at OL. It's a shame because everything is going well in Lyon between girls and boys. There is nothing there unfortunately. Photo: Nelson Fatagraf
