... the group will be even stronger next year »At the end of the match lost to PSG (4-0), the ESOF coach, Malika Bousseau made the point with us on this end of the season and on the hopes of maintaining his club. Chances of remaining in the elite that only hangs by a thread and especially to possible bad results of the En Avant Guingamp ...

"The girls worked well. We are in different leagues between PSG and Roche, we have more matches this week. It was an opportunity to bring younger players, even younger than those I have, U19 to give them time to play. The girls worked well to try to take points but beyond pay attention to the goal-average since we run after the maintenance, [and in this race] we are dependent on Guingamp. "

We played the season with this state of mind, Whether Lyon or PSG, we did not take "suitcases", we play a lot of energy, with our heart. I have a group of young players, necessarily to go from the D2 to D1, there is really a chasm between the two now that is getting up to this level requires a little time, especially with young players, and that time we did not have it. That's why I think we're in that place "

- On the difference in level between the D1 and the D2:
"This difference is expressed by the repetition of efforts, pace, aggression on the ball. In D2, we had a lot of ball possession, we did not really need to defend, we managed to recover the ball by pressing and keeping possession of the ball. It's true that when we went to D1, where we had a lot more ball, we had to change our mindset, and the girls took 3-4 matches to change their state of mind. mind because the ball, you had to go get it, we had more in the feet. "

- On the youth of La Roche-sur-Yon this season:
On a season, [the youth of the workforce] is disabling. It also requires players of maturity and in my team it would miss one by line, a player who has a little more experience and especially the D1. I think that with these elements, we could have pretended to something else. After, We are a training club, when we look in the U16, U18, U20 youth selections, we come out of the players so that means we're working. After, certainly when we see where we are currently positioned it's not enough but it's the club's policy. We will work until the end we will see well after.

- On the hopes of maintenance:
"We have confidence, I think we must play until the end this championship. It will be necessary to go win the matches, already win Saint-Etienne and after that [it will depend on] Guingamp. We did not have a lot of "luck" in the whole season, there were always some injuries where we did not need, selections [at the moment] we play in the league or small things each time like there with two matches in a week. It is true that there is nothing that helps us, we hope that on the last two matches there may be someone who comes to help us.

We have players who have progressed enormously, we feel in power, in the state, if we keep the group will be even stronger next year. "

La Roche-sur-Yon stays in D1 if:
La Roche wins their matches against Saint-Etienne (21st day) and Saint-Maur (22nd day) and Guingamp loses his matches in Juvisy and against Rodez. The two teams would then be tied and La Roche-sur-Yon would win with a better goal difference.

If Guingamp draws or wins in one of these two games, La Roche-sur-Yon is relegated to D2 with Nimes and Saint-Maur.
