After the match won against Metz, exchange with the Juliette Loumagne Bordeaux, who gave us his first impressions of the game and the start of the Girondines season.

Football hearts: We are after this victory 1-0 against Metz, a difficult victory. How did you experience this match?
Juliette Loumagne: It was hard. Honestly, it was very very hard. However, we lived on a Saturday quite hectic in terms of train times and everything but we were still motivated this morning. I felt the team really well in and at the start of the match, we were finally a little soft, we got into it. After the field was not easy. We did not play football at all, we did not manage to keep the ball, we did not manage to find each other. They have clearly been more effective.

CDF: Were you surprised by this team from Metz? Who played pretty well, especially at the beginning of the match where they came to press you very high ...
J.L: I was not surprised about the impact because we knew they were going to get in, we were safe and we were ready. After, surprise in the game, in the combinations they could create offensively, they still did beautiful things. I was surprised at that level instead. Because after pressing us up, all of this, we knew it, we were prepared, it was just up to us to react at that moment

CDF: One of the qualities of the Bordeaux game is the direct game, the cons. Metz has managed to hinder your ability to project quickly forward. They had to watch the match against Soyaux (broadcast on Eurosport last Sunday)?
J.L: That's what the coach told us. With the two goals we had last week, even if we did not win the race in the end, we could still be expected and that was clearly the case. In any case for me, it was hard to return, they were direct on me. After that, it's up to us to manage the situation. We had trouble doing it. I hope we will bounce back because it was complicated.

CDF: On the action of the penalty, it is you who give the ball to Sarah Cambot. At this moment of the match do you think that it is still possible to win?
J.L: Yes anyway, because we did not have a lot of opportunities. So when I have the ball in my feet like that and approaching the goal, I clearly want him to go to the bottom. In addition I could have attempted the strike. Sarah was perhaps at the edge of the offside so I would have really wanted if she was offside. There clearly, I think that if she does not mow it, knowing Sarah, she put it in it. So besides, there is really a penalty. There on the spot, she mow it really.

Then after, in two stages, the goalkeeper who stops the penalty (She blows), it was still hot what. Well, we followed well, so much the better. It's not deserved in the game but here we had the courage to go all the way and this is our weak point. When we lead the score, not manage to hold them, he stayed [a few minutes] and held. That's it, we'll remember that because we will not remember anything else.

CDF: Elisa Launay made several decisive saves and a great game. She was important today ...
J.L: Yes, we have confidence in her clearly. Even last weekend and the one before before, she brings us good things every time. So, we trust her on that, there is no problem. Me, it always amazes me and in any case for the central hinge I know that they can [play], blindly, there is no problem.

CDF: Among the teams promoted, Bordeaux is the team that has the best results, despite two difficult first games. One has the impression that Bordeaux settles little by little in D1 ...
J.L: That's what we try to do. After, I was a little absent at the beginning of the season, (...) is my fourth game. But I was still with the band and yes that's what we try to do. As a result, we are expected differently on Sunday when we arrive, even today. It is a status that must still be taken for granted and it is something that must be done [to do] psychologically.

So, when we arrived here in Metz, we had no choice. As we have been told, this is the last chance game. All matches are matches of last chance, despite the fact that we are the best ranked at the level of the promoted, it is the last chance each time. So we are dead of hunger and we will go to the end.
