At the end of the match against Rodez, we interviewed Patrice Lair about this confrontation that could have been tricky, the 4 points removed to the PSG team, the continuity of the season and the following in the Champions League. Interview.

Coach is rather a satisfaction, a victory, you seemed to doubt it?

No, but we did a very good match against Saint-Etienne. Well it's true that the conditions were not the same, there was sun, a correct terrain ... Today it was more difficult, the fact of staying three / four days at the hotel, the Girls have been a little fed up, I think to return to Paris, it will do them good tonight. We win, plus three goals and it's nine in the week, without taking a goal. That's good, we got back in the right direction after Montpellier.

Moreover, on this match against the MHSC, it is Eve Perisset who opens the score, you put it in the middle position, it is the good recruit of this season for you? You replaced it in the second period, it is a decisive choice?

Yes, yes it's a good player but there in the second half I wanted to bring percussion. Ashley [Lawrence] is able to play much higher, like practically a right winger and have someone like Perle Morroni who plays very high and is left handed. It made it possible to play high and we made the difference, there were some people in the surface and in 15 minutes we folded the match.

Eve Perisset is still a midfielder, you played back left side, where it was a position she had to quickly learn to manage to play, she quickly adapted?

I started in Lyon to make it play there, I alternated, I think it's his place and she is in France A team at this post there so it's a player who is very intelligent, who has a certain quality and today it is a tactical choice, it is not a choice of player.

"These are teams waiting for us"

There it was a complicated game because it was a tough team in front, you were at home so we will say so it was hard to implement your strategy?

Yes yes but I think that in the first half with more change of pace and more address we could have made the difference but hey it's the game traps. These are teams waiting for us, everyone wants to create a surprise against Lyon or against Paris or Montpellier. The result is there, that's what's most important.

You unlock the situation in the second half on kick set, you have not really forced, it was a little alone?

Well it's interesting, we have powerful girls including Amandine Henry, who bring us a plus on that side. The other [recruits] will not be late either, Formiga, Andonova and Katoto will be back next week, I think. We will have interesting potential.

"have a women's section, a beautiful women's team in Paris."

You had said before on Football Hearts, that the two teams of the top 3 with you, Montpellier and Olympique Lyonnais, are slightly above because they have more seniority compared to Paris. It's difficult actually for you to build the team with several cars to catch up?

Well, yes, I was a little surprised that the club (laughs) is not more structured on arrival. I recovered a club that was in trouble on that side but we structure little by little, we put things in place. It's a small reason why I stayed and I continue, because at some point I was still asking questions. We are moving forward for the good of the club, for the sake of the team as well, now also doing our job on the field, that is to say winning games and backstage it improves to have a section feminine, a beautiful women's team in Paris.

Moreover, as we speak, from your arrival, you brought a real dynamic within the club, the team has found a certain cohesion of group and joie de vivre. You do not enter any goal, you beat Montpellier, the OL, they are big performances?

Yes yes yes but it is up to us to continue but especially to have a female section, like what I had done in Lyon, that is to say not a team one. That there is a training center, that we find ourselves at one time all together to be able to work the week. Well it's a little more difficult at the moment because we are separated, the young people are in Charlety, we are in Bougival. I think that with the departure of the boys in Poissy, we will get the camp of the boxes and there we will be able to work better and have a workplace for the women's section and of course to progress much more.

"At Paris Saint-Germain, I'm asked to win the matches regardless of the team"

Do not you feel that you have asked too much for the players, that you have pulled the rope and that in the second part with the moral blow of the 4 points, they are less inclined to be in their position? match?

No we are professional, we must be able to play two, three games in the week. Then I am someone who makes no gift on this side, I try to align the best team possible. You know even if there have been a lot of changes, a lot of starts at Paris Saint-Germain, I am asked to win the matches regardless of the team. Tomorrow I am given 13 years, I must win. It's like that, it's my job, I've always been that way. We will continue to improve, to progress especially to advance, to try to make the best possible championship, the best possible Cup and to go still far in the Champions League again this year. Above all, maybe to afford to play a final.

"if we want to shoot down the team, we have good results"

We also feel that Paris is the team to shoot down, with 4 points lost, just after being leader of the D1 Feminine?

No, I do not see it like that, I'm used to it, I've been to Lyon for a while, we were the team to shoot down too. It was Lyon here, Lyon there. I want Paris to be this team there too because if we want to shoot down the team, it's because we have good results, it's scary and not what I'm looking for and to have a team almost invincible, which poses big problems especially Olympique Lyonnais who is today the European ogre see world.

You also talked about amateurism in the club, the problem is settled today, there have been changes?

Yes there have been a lot of changes (smile) that's why I stayed, I had some guarantees and there will still be changes. We are structuring ourselves, to really have a pro operation, for that it takes a little patience. Things are moving within the club and that's what's important. At least, if I have to leave one day, I hope that I will leave having left a professional section of good level in Paris.

There your big game of this second part of the season, it will be against OL not return match, you will want to reiterate your "feat" of first part of the season?

Yes, yes, but all matches are pitfalls. When we look today [at Rodez] it's a team that needs points, that clings, there's their audience, there will be others like that. We will still have some moves that will not be obvious, it's up to us to pass all these obstacles but next time, it will be more realistic especially in the first half to go to the shelter.

"We know very well what makes the difference at one point is efficiency and if we are, we win the matches."

Yes, we saw some technical waste, while the players have the qualities to make the difference?

Yes (smile) but the technical waste even at the highest level, the best teams too, we will always have a little bit of technical waste but what I ask especially is to have more realism because we know very very Well, what makes the difference at any given moment is efficiency and if we are, we win the matches.

Last question, it concerns, the Champions League, your opponent Bayern you have already studied or you still expect a little?

I am not someone who studies the opposing teams a lot. I am someone who trusts his group. I think first of all my team, that is to say, to make a quality group, a group that also has confidence, able to excel in the great moments. No it is not my concern Bayern Munich, it's my team, to be ready and will be in the right conditions to make a result in Munich and especially to qualify at the Parc des Princes, March 29.

Yes you have recruited two players there, but one of them will not be able to play in the Champions League, Nataša Andonova.

It does not matter, it will allow me to lighten a little bit the program of some players and a girl like Boquete, allow me to run so that those who can play the Champions League are in full possession of these means and especially in a physical condition able to make a big match on the day-j.
