Despite the ambitions assumed by the President of ASJ Soyaux, Denis Bodi, a bit sarcastic at the presentation of the D1 Feminine last September. The Charente club is struggling to show its real potential at the start of the championship. We wanted to understand for what reasons with the assistant coach, Nicolas Goursat and Anna Clerac, truly disappointed and frustrated by this counter performance.

Your feelings about this match?
The feeling is that we do not advance much despite what we can offer, despite the effort of girls, the work done. The result is that we take no point and not advance so there's still a bit of disappointment. Nevertheless, there are positive things for a club like us, so we will get back to work to quickly launch our season.

He still missed a bit in this game.
Yes, yes, we could also take the correction early in the game, so it goes quickly from one side to another and behind we could even pocket the draw, so that's it. The emotions very quickly up and very quickly down so a little disappointment, but we showed good things, so shared we will say.

The game plan was to play high enough, to project, and play fast?
We knew anyway that we would not necessarily have possession as was the case against Rodez (1-1). We have an ability to project quickly forward with players who go fast enough. After the game background is consistent. It's nice to want to play football, but the result is what matters and efficiency, I think we must progress further. The block was pretty low, or even median with Laura Bourgouin who was going to hurry, who she likes would scrape these balloons. We managed to do it in the ninety minutes, things that a lot of players might not be able to do either, so that's it. Unlike the mistake we had made against Lyon, where we had a little flouted the instructions of departure, there was better in place, so necessarily we managed to bring a lot of difficulty to Juvisy.

What was the word of the break after the first half?
The positive points, in the state of mind we were there, it's one of our strength since the beginning of the season, we have a very very close group and that's what will move us forward. While putting the small flat we tend to give the stick to be beaten. And this is the first fifteen minutes we were in trouble, it comes only from ourselves and that's very frustrating. Charge us now to get to work and gain a little serenity on these phases of play, because we must not get in trouble ourselves.

Anna Clérac: "I'm leaving the match with regrets"

Anna Clérac, as a player what do you remember from this match?
We lacked efficiency and if we had put all our opportunities, I think we could have come back and even lead to the score. After them too they missed ... Now we have to move to the next week and the next match, absolutely win.

Do you take into account the strategy of the opponent?
We necessarily take into account the opponent, we know that Juvisy is a reference team of this championship of D1, with international players, with a lived experience and a significantly higher than ours. So we necessarily adapt everything we set up depending on the opponent.

You were on the verge of returning to the score, how do you explain that it is not successful?
Because maybe Soyaux in its place in D1, now it will be necessary to concretize it by points. We are in a position where we have to say that the other clubs must fear us too.

Do you expect progress after this match? An improvement over the previous season?
The progression in three games ... I hope is the goal. After that there were some recruits, who had a little time to adapt too. In some areas, yes, I think we have progressed but in others, I will not say we have regressed but we have work to do.

We feel that there was really room to put this second goal for Soyaux.
Yes and believe me that we tried to insist on it after [Anna] can better tell you things ...

What is your feeling on your side, Anna?
Yes, we had several, finally I had many face to face, and I was not effective enough in front of the goal and I leave the game with regrets. Because if I put my opportunities, we can return to equality.

You had a hard time with the arrest of Amandine Guerin, how do you manage?
Well, as long as I do not have all the information on that, I do not necessarily want to communicate, because here I have not all the elements to be very very honest ... There I do not even talk about football, I speak of the person. Me first, I am shot by what happens to her, because she is a professional, who has us Much has been brought over the last four seasons. So here I am very saddened by what happens to him. We expect more elements in order to communicate. The President made a very touching word for Amandine, now we will try to accompany her in her future life, to heal well and then hoping that she can take another path of football.As a teammate, Anna? , I thought about it a lot ... Finally, we were serene when we had Amandine in the goals. It was known that she could come out at any time a tap or any occasion. We were quiet. After Romane [Munich] she is a good guardian and she takes over, she is a very good guardian too.
