In the mixed zone we exchanged with a regular big challenges, Leila Meflah captain RC Saint-Denis, just after the match against Soyaux on behalf of the 1/16 (0-5).



His reaction on the match

Already defeat logic, but I think we could have done better. We showed a better face in the second half. At first, I feel we were a little stressed, we dared not set foot. After on the second, we did good things but after physically, they were still above. We had a little more trouble and we ran a lot after the ball.


Opposite it was a D1 team, two divisions above

Yes it makes sense, but after we could have bothered a little more but we train only twice a week. We are in DH (Regional 1) even if there are some girls who have some experience but at this level there is not everything.


We have seen your experience

Yes I try to bring a little what I can and once again the goal is to pass the roadblocks to hope for the rise in D2. [This match against Soyaux] is a plus for girls to see that the high level is very far.


This is your second season with Saint-Denis. You already know the dams?

It's not the same operation, I've already done with Saint-Maur. I know the pressure of this kind of challenge.


The lessons of this game against a D1 before an important match against the VGA this weekend

We put ourselves at ease with the points already but we will take this match as usual, VGA or not VGA, our goal is to take the three points.


Give high-level experience to the team

Yes of course, I do the max, because I want to show them that it is not only on the ground. As I always told them we play as we train. Now we are in DH, so you see that it is not yet the high level. But it can be learned little by little.
