After the match won 4-0 against Rodez, Patrice Lair appeared a little more relaxed. A victory at the end of a week when PSG took full points and confidence before the start in the selection of international players.

"I think [first] of the week that was good because it was not easy to meet all the challenges first naturally with the big Challenge of the Champions League and it was done with a huge match and a lot of physical expense too, mental as well as physical and today had to manage well that match. The goal was to win it without taking any goals. (...) I like having a defense that takes no goals and I'm pretty proud of my girls on that side.

The Rodez team was valiant, we had some problems in the first half, (...) We also knew, we used this team. It also allowed me to manage my squad, Shirley Cruz did only one half, Vero Boquete stayed on the side. We are already in the optics of the match in Montpellier in a fortnight, I hope that there will be no break at the international level because we do not have a very very large staff and that everyone comes back in good condition. selections. "

Two days of rest
"(...) Those who will stay with me, they will have two days off, because they deserve it since the month of July, I left them very rarely rest. They did the job, well that's what I expected from them. Now, we will be looking at this second part of the first half of the season, always trying to get as many points as possible and qualify for the Champions League. Always goals to pass caps, to progress and especially to be ambitious. "

"[After Thursday's match] it's hard because everyone is tired, even I was tired, but good this morning when I woke up, I told myself absolutely, I had to impulse the same motivation and a goal. Well, the goal was already not to take goals (...) Last night, when I saw the teams [Lyon and Montpellier] take goals, I said: "tac! It can be a little trick for us, a little lever, there are a lot of little things. Me to score a ton of goals, it does not interest me, it's always to have one more. "

On the departures of several of his players (Katoto, Geyoro, Cissoko) at the U20 World Cup and how to compensate their departures for a month:
"(...) I hope I'll recover Marie-Laure Delie already, after midfield I can also adapt with other players but I'm happy to see them go. When I see the girls leaving for selection, I'm happy. There, they will live a great time, if they can champion the world, it would be great. That's what interests me. That's sure it weakens my team because Katoto is something, Grace midfield is not bad, there's a huge potential.

"It's a shame that Perle has hurt his shoulder but will be back in January. No I am happy with their success and if I have to do without so much for French women's football. We are here too to try to improve things so that we are a great team A little later. No, me, it does not bother me. I never complain about the squad, I have players, injured players, players who are not there, it's up to me, it's my job to find solutions (...) For now, we I'm doing pretty well, I hope it's going to continue. "
