Unaccustomed to the questions of journalists, Maureen Bigot had a hard time taking a step back but still gave us her feelings. The 21-year-old, who has certainly helped her team avoid a stinging defeat, having been the strongest response to the midfield, was nevertheless released in the second half. There are several reasons for this.


The summary of the match Metz / Reims (1-1) => D2F (Metz / Reims 1-1): Of pride, the Messines equalize against the Remoises


How did you experience it then?
Maureen Bigot - (big white)


You felt good, you felt ready to face Reims today?
Maureen Bigot - Yes I felt ready after there were conditions [playing with the weather in particular] that were difficult, with weather conditions etc. Otherwise yes I was ready.


Because I saw you very legs, you were very present on the field in the middle especially so it went pretty well for you?
Maureen Bigot - Yes it was. After I went out at half-time.


Yes we had trouble understanding it too, I think you were a little frustrated not to continue in the second half?
Maureen Bigot - Yes not too much, because ... (I cut her, asking her if the shock she took at the end of the first half explains this change) No no I took a shot, but c was not serious. No, I do not know why [I'm out] we'll see with the coach.


I told him about it and he told me that it was not your post number 6? (the coach's reaction)
Maureen Bigot - No I do not play too much 6, I play more offensive normally. But sometimes I help out in 6.


But you prefer attacking ...
Maureen Bigot - Offensive yes.


It was visible but you were well offensively blocked by Reims ...
Maureen Bigot - Yes because with Christy [Gavory] and the second 6, it was three for two so it was harder.


I know you were in the team of young France (U16 / U17) there is no opportunity for you to bounce in selection?
Maureen Bigot - No, for the moment I ask that one thing is to play, after if ... We'll see how it goes.


So how is this season with Metz, because I think you're new to the team?
Maureen Bigot - Yes I'm new and I got injured at the beginning of the season at the tendon. [Before] I was in Calais in DH.


How many weeks were you arrested?
Maureen Bigot - I was arrested for a month and a half I think even two months.


How do you see it then this season of Metz in D2? I think you still aim for the re-climb (Metz played his first season in D1, in 2016/2017)?
Maureen Bigot - Yes of course it's the climb after the championship it is a little weird (smile).


Because you face teams that are less well ranked compared to your current leader position ... (she cuts me) who still hold you?
Maureen Bigot - But who are fighting. Yes that's it [they hold us head].


When one is leader it is always difficult to accept, not to control the match as one wants?
Maureen Bigot - Yes, and as we have been relegated, we are the team they expect most so it's complicated.
