Lionel Cure said the minimum in the mixed zone, after the 1-0 win against Olympique Marseille. A way also to not reveal too much the strategy of his team in this final sprint to the maintenance.



A very beautiful victory for you today?

Yes very beautiful victory. It is especially the result which is very beautiful. After the way of playing, it was more complicated. It is true that it is very difficult here [to develop his game], the wind did not help us more to play. We had to do with the elements today.

It was hard to find Salma [Amani] in this match. We knew that today we had to change our game system, our way of playing and that's what we did and it paid off.


You have also replaced Claire Lavogez on the side, this is his first job with Fleury?

Yes she was interesting to training on the sides. We wanted to bring a little more speed in front of Sarah [Palacin], who did it very well. And Claire [Lavogez] on the side was a bit more erased but overall [it's positive].


Is she a player who is difficult to place in your opinion?

No it is not difficult [to place], it's just that it is versatile so we can put it right / left, in the axis, in 10 too, she knows very well play in 10. We wanted a little more depth with Sarah [Palacin] and she did it very well in the first half. It is she who created the spaces, the shifts and who finishes in front of the goal.


We feel that there is a real commitment of your players in every game? Is there a real requirement on your part for your players?

Yes it is the high level so you have to be demanding, and some have the experience so they are demanding with themselves. If we are not demanding, it's not worth it, we go down to D2.


The satisfaction of the performance of its players

Yes they made the effort so it's the most important. They are asked to make efforts, to try to contain them to try to attack faster, that's what they did. We thought they were going to put the pressing in front [the Marseillaises], but they waited for us from the beginning and they did the opposite in the second period. We knew we were going to take second so we had to manage the counterattacks and it was difficult.


About maintaining

At least one more point will have to be taken at Rodez or the victory to be able to maintain itself.


How do you plan for your next game [late] against PSG?

It's Paris, we play them on the 29th [April] normally. So recovery, have to find a friendly match between two to keep pace and gradually go to three weeks on this match.
