The reaction of Michel Ange Gims lucidly at the head of the RC Saint-Denis women's team. His undefeated team in regional, could not make the face against Soyaux in the 1 / 16th finals of the Coupe de France (defeat 5-0).



His hot impression on the match
I would say it's a match that has been mastered by Soyaux. Immediately, we saw the difference in level between the D1 and the DH. A match with a lot of intensity on the part of the players and a lot of respect also from Soyaux who did not come to do physics, who respected the game, the team and it is logical that they beat us 5-0.


On preparing the team for this challenge
It was especially the beginning of the match that was really disastrous. For a whole half-time, we watched them play, we did not make the desired efforts. I want to congratulate them because our second half was a little better. I just regret that the start of the match was not good on our part. It was totally missed but hey, I hope it will serve us for the next installments we have to play by the end of the season.


Leader of their division currently
So we are first in DH. Now the goal, it is very clear, is the rise in D2. I hope that this type of match will serve us for the future, to be able to approach in the best way this "last round", ie the dams.


"The important thing is the attitude on the ground"


Frustrated at not having scored goals?
To score or not is football. Just for the start of the match that was not satisfactory and I let them know at half-time. To score, not to score, is not the most important thing. The important thing is the attitude on the pitch and some did not have the required attitude on the first half.


You wanted to see more enthusiasm ...
More enthusiasm, concentration. Go harass the bearer when he has the ball and again, we stayed watching them and it pays cash, especially with Soyaux. Offsets are paid cash, with Laura [Bourgouin] who was everywhere, who really bothered us (smile). Offsets, intelligent players in front so it pays cash.

As I said and I repeat, it's the beginning. We could have done better, better manage some offensive situations that could [a little] put the doubt to this team Soyaux. We learn, the club learns and we hope, through experience, that we can do very good things thereafter.


What did you say to your players after the match?
To raise the head. They were a little disappointed but they knew the difference in level that exists. A little slaughtered but with a speech that is the following. The priority remains the championship. We are still unbeaten, we will rebound next week against St Maur Lusitanos.

Always be positive It's just a game, and more against a D1 team. There is no reason to be pessimistic about this type of match. We raise the head, we rework this week and we think of the next game against Saint-Maur.
