Just after the end of the match, Lionel Cure coach Fleury returned to this bitter defeat against PSG 2-0. Seventh failure in a row for the club promoted this season in the elite. His reaction.


Hearts of Football - What were the instructions before starting this match against PSG today?

Lionel Cure - To be well in block especially. We had to block the sideways that take the corridors and we knew they had three arrows ahead, so we had to play strong defensively and tighten the lines behind.


Soccer Hearts - You wanted more to block the game of PSG, than to build your offensive game then?

L.C. - Well, we wanted to defend well and then attack against the sides.


Football Hearts - That's what Fleury is missing on the offensive side, because we saw that you showed a very beautiful face against PSG despite the defeat? You were present, there was character. It just lacks availability in attack to make a positive result finally?

L.C. - We had three players in front of us so there are less solutions compared to a club like Paris. We tried to build well and pass on the sides, but we had some difficulties [on this aspect]. At the same time, we had possession a few times and it was interesting. We played our cards forward, we had some good centers and Amani's opportunity.


Hearts of Soccer - The opposing coach, Patrice Lair even told us that you had the opportunity to equalize on the 1-0. Did you also see him at a time that you could come back after the first goal?

L.C. - (nods yes) Yes, there were some exits from PSG goalkeeper who was a little hesitant so it took advantage and we almost scored.


Football Hearts - What will you ultimately remember from this match? Are there any positives anyway?

L.C. - Yes, yes there are positive points. We were solid behind, in the middle we knew well, we were complementary, we shot well against the three circles of PSG so it was very interesting. After the attack, we had a little more trouble but it will settle on other matches.


Soccer Hearts - There are some players who do not really move to their position within your training. Is that what makes it difficult to build your game?

L.C. - No no we try, we try different offensive scheme but the players play at their posts, they also change sometimes, it varies according to the opposing team. According to their qualities, we change the game pattern.


Republican Essonne - To return to the first half of Fleury. We had the impression that the defense of Paris wanted to play fast with these attackers. How do you explain this difficulty of producing this on your side?

LC - No I think we could find our midfielder, especially with Salma Amani and after shifting on the sides but rather Paris was more forward, by the axis directly from the defense to the attack.


The Republican Essonne - Your next match is against Marseille, it will be a more affordable opponent. How are you preparing for this match?

L. - Like this one, it's going to be a little more possession, a game a little further ahead, with a block a little higher. We do not know too much about Marseille because we have not played them yet. It will be necessary to block them and go play our game against Marseille at home.


Le Parisien - On the course of the match, both goals were a bit easy. Are we not getting a little frustrated with such a scenario?

LC - Ah if it's on, but hey we know that against Paris anyway, we have no great chance to score points but we played our game. We could certainly score points with a little more going offensive, a little more power compared to them and we could have better hold them.


Republican Essonne - Were the players a little stressed about this opposition?

L.C. - No we had no more pressure than that, we knew it was a good match for us. We had to give everything.
