Just after the end of this match of the Coupe de France 1 / 32nd finals, Lionel Cure, Fleury coach gave us his impression on this meeting against Nancy won the snatch (4-3).



Reporter - What did you say to your players at half-time, which was reduced to ten?

L.C. - It was especially necessary to remobilize them at the half time, because they had the head lowered. In addition we take a goal at the end of the first half. They had lost motivation and had to motivate them.


Reporter - What did you think of your players' performance after being reduced to ten? Did not it release them a little?

L.C. - It put a damper on them at first but after they got over it.


Journalist - Did you manage to padlock Marlyse Ngo Ndoumbouk, even if she scored a goal?

L.C. - (Pouting) Yes, we still had a hard time taking it, we were not tight enough behind to stop it.


CDF - At one point in the game, we felt that your players were not lost, but a little too euphoric about this issue.

L.C. - Yes, there was all the more nervousness with the red card we received. And with the expulsion of Multari ... In front they had good players in the middle ... they had weaknesses behind so we tried to exploit their weaknesses on the raises from behind, what we did on the first goal and even on the end of the match where we got two penalties.


CDF - At one point we felt that they were released. What was the trigger ?

L.C. - It must be said that having been conducted 1-3, it put a blow to the morale but behind we re-motivated and the penalty we get in the wake helped us to climb the score.


CDF - You have put your typical team for this match.

L.C. - Yes.


CDF - But we had the impression that the Nancy team really put you in trouble ...

L.C. - Yes it is the own of the opposing team, they put us in difficulty at the beginning, it was difficult to position itself.


CDF - You can still combine well. I think you are one of the best teams to combine in D1.

L.C. - Yes, it is true, in the revival we combined well.


Journalist - for a rehearsal match, what did you think of this match?

L. - We already wanted a nice opposition for this recovery, because in seven days there is the match against Bordeaux who arrives. We did not want to go against an HR team, or R1, R2. It was good for us, and we wanted to win because we had to "fill in the holes" that we will have in this second part of the season. We have a calendar "gruyères" so we had to win absolutely this Sunday to keep the pace.


Reporter - Your new forward, Claire Lavogez (arrival on loan from Olympique Lyonnais), has just signed with you. Will she qualify for your next match against Bordeaux?

L.C. - Normally yes.


Reporter - She was not qualified this Sunday. Why ?

L.C. - For the simple reason that she had not been able to train with us before.


CDF - In the end, what did you think of this match? He is positive despite the three goals conceded?

L.C. - It's positive. We wanted the players to pick up the pace for the match against Bordeaux. The opposing team put us in trouble so yes this match was positive.


CDF - Cash three goals is still hard no?

L.C. - It was known that the opposing team scored an average of two goals per game. So we knew it would be difficult. Then we have Gwen (Gwenaëlle Butel) who was injured the day before the match. So we had to reorganize the team. In addition we have Léonie Multari who takes a red card during the match!


CDF - Are you still satisfied with your players?

L.C. - Overall yes.



CDF - How do you see this second part of the season? During the first part, you started in the last position of D1, there you went back to the end (Fleury is now ranked tenth).

L.C. - (He hesitates). Yes, it's true, we've taken a little more morale lately. So we will continue on the second half of the season a little more serenely. Today we are tied for tenth with Guingamp so we have to continue and increase the pace, keep up the momentum.


Reporter - Will this match against Nancy serve you for this second half of the season? You still managed to win ten against eleven so the level of confidence is still beneficial?

L.C. - Yes, that's for sure! We won 4-3 after being led 1-3, in addition to ten against eleven so it's sure that for the next matches it can serve.
