The reaction of Nicolas Carric, the coach of the Val d'Orge after the victory of his team against Toulouse (3-1) synonymous with rising in D1 next season for the club of Essonne.


Football Hearts - What is the prevailing feeling after this victory and climb?


Nicolas Carric - Pride, pride for girls, for people who have been with me for some time and then pride for this club that has grown strongly in recent years. Today, the A rises but the B rises too, the U19 are in the final of the Coupe de Paris, for a first year in addition to the national level. We grow up fast, without much money but we advance and it's a great reward for the group and for this club.


CDF - You said you dread this scenario, with the rise that would be played on the last day. How did you live these last days before the match?


NC - Finally, what was harder, it was the matches before where we were already more or less at the gates of the D1 and we had precisely two / three matches that allowed us to pay the price in management. Grenoble, we went through total not even want anything, Dijon we put the envy but we forget to play, then today we put both and even if it's not the most beautiful match in the world, we win 3-1, we have several chances to kill the game and I think it's a deserved victory today and a deserved rise.


CDF - Did the team see themselves in D1 before they finally got there, and lacked focus on some matches?


NC - Maybe we've seen a little beautiful, it happens. But the most important thing is to learn from your mistakes and this year the strength of this group is that when we missed, we managed to leave. The match in Metz was a turning point and we saw a group welded. Even leading 1-0, a penalty against us, Pauline fate, it's a turning point of the season. We have learned well, now we will savor.


CDF - Today, there was not just the result, we saw a team from Val d'Orge who played football well?


NC - This is the axis of the talk where we had put everything we wanted to find on the field to reach this post-match, we knew that if we put the mind, then all we needed on the ground in the game and in the efforts, it would not pass. And today I saw a team that made efforts, tore itself apart and it's a deserved victory.


CDF - At one point, at the beginning of the second period we saw Julie Machart take the game on her own, taking a lot of responsibility. Did she surprise you on this match?


NC - No, Julie, "Foulie" as we call her, we know very well the level she has. She carried us all year long, and the blow of less good that we had also corresponds to the blow of less good than she had, she. We knew, a fortnight ago in the Coupe de Paris that we had found her, she had a little rest in her personal life, so we found her in form today.


But I did not see her today, I saw girls who fought, her counterpart Danae [Dunord] who also scores. It's a collective win because today I have four or five girls with ten goals so everyone can do the difference and we were not rested on a player and I think it's is what made the difference this year on our team.
