After the victory of Paris Saint-Germain (3-0) against Bordeaux, the coach Patrice Lair gave his analysis on the meeting, his opponent at night and especially Lyon, the opponent to come.


The summary of the match => PSG - Bordeaux (3-0): The Bordelaises flank against Paris in the second half


On the match and the complicated first half of PSG


Yes, at first it was complicated we were not very very good. I do not know if it's cold or what but we were shy. But after we really took the monopoly, we should have scored, he missed a bit of accuracy and liveliness in front of goal. On the second half we managed to use this Bordeaux team and to score. We also changed a little tactically, bringing Vero (Boquete), Grace (Geyoro) in the corridor that brings speed, and replacing Katoto in the axis (compared to Delie), and it worked. We scored three goals in front of a well-organized team. I warned my players that it would not be easy to face this team that really has an interesting profile.


On Bordeaux, an opponent without complex

Nah, but that's good. It's a team that is progressing and it's a good thing for women's football to have teams like that. They try to play and cause problems and it allows to see beautiful matches. Bordeaux are a good team, they lost only 2-0 in Lyon, against Montpellier they do not deserve to take this score (4-1) because there is a very generous penalty for Montpellier. I'm going to congratulate their coach because it was really interesting what they do. They had a few more opportunities. We are our fault, we know when we do not score we can get in trouble. After we were tough. It would have been a shame to draw tonight and not go to Lyon with only two points behind.


What he missed Parisians

It was not hard to build, but we lacked acceleration in the last twenty meters. When we did it, after we adjusted the centers badly. It is up to us not to make the same mistake in Lyon, because it will go very quickly in front of them, and it will not be the same thing. We know the ability of this team to project forward. It's up to us to know how to produce that, to go faster forward. Because it is very beautiful possession but on a certain level it is useless. We must strike, be effective.


On the shock against Lyon, the next weekend

We had holes in our first game of the championship (1-1 against Soyaux) and since then we managed to win everything to find ourselves in this position. We are only two points from Lyon, we have the right to hope, if we win we go to a point ahead. You have to be ambitious, you deserve it. The girls made a remarkable journey after this small misstep. It was not easy, but we are still unbeaten and we are a team to beat. It will create opportunities in Lyon, it will be good. Marie Katoto is able to do it, Kadi Diani too, everyone works for the collective and I trust them. From tomorrow morning we will begin to prepare this game, it would be nice if it snows a little, run in the snow is always nice (smile). Nah but we will go without thinking, we will give everything there.


On the Paris workforce and possible future recruitments

We advance in advance. After you have to ask Bruno (Cheyrou) if there are recruitments that will happen soon. But if I have to do all the season with this group there I do not complain, because there is quality. There is a collective but it is sure that we have not yet the effectiveness of certain players that Lyon has at this time.
