In late match of the 12th day of D1, Fleury received Montpellier. At the end of the draw (1-1) against her former club, Francilienne Marine Haupais returned for Hearts of Foot on the meeting.



Soccer Hearts - You must be very happy with this draw?

Marine Haupais: Of course, we are very satisfied because we are looking for a good point. And beyond this point we take, we made a very big performance and it's always nice to make good matches with the way. We have a good performance against a team that plays the Champions League, and we are rewarded.



Did you expect such a result against Montpellier today?

Personally I felt it. I told everyone today. I never doubted we could hang them because I trust my team. I know what we are capable of doing and we had the players and the bench to counter Montpellier's attacks. After, all the matches are played to get points, and to succeed it must be everyone believes, as today.



Montpellier is your old club, so we imagine that this is a game that is particularly close to your heart?

Yes necessarily that playing against Montpellier it makes me something weird, after the main thing is that we did something against them. And beyond the fact that we take an important point for the maintenance, we showed that we were able to do it. The result is important for the whole team. After, go hang Montpellier while I played, well yes it's nice. Even if I wish them a good end of the season.



We felt very involved in this match, you gave a lot of instructions ...

Yes, of course. If I do not transmit my motivation against my old club it will be complicated. Then, I think I'm kind of like that on a lot. Encourage my teammates, talk a lot. After I was motivated, I was not playing to drive Montpellier but to score points with Fleury and it's done so I'm delighted. I am very happy, it is a nice reward.



Montpellier tried tactical changes and yet it did not worry you?

I have the impression that nothing could destabilize us today. We were really all together for the result. I'm sure that even if we had played for half an hour we would not have taken a goal since we were all welded. The whole team, I mean the whole team, was drawn towards the same goal. Even if I think that in the last minutes we are a little more afraid [of] by what we have already experienced, as in Bordeaux where they even in the last minutes.

Today we had eleven warriors plus those who came back and brought a lot. So I think it's really deserved.



But you were not tired, since you played Sunday?

If, I think that fatigue was a little felt and it's normal. But mentally we were there and it took over on the legs and fatigue. We would never have let go, this point is too important for us.


How do you see the goal maintaining?

It is not acquired! As long as mathematically we will not be maintained we will not be able to say that it is acquired. After yes we are on the right track, on the good momentum, a very very good dynamic even. And it's up to us to continue [so], we will not let go. We will continue to make the necessary efforts in training, in match, to get this goal as soon as possible.
