The reaction of Patrice Lair after the defeat of PSG on the lawn of the OM. A Parisian coach marked but who delivered a lucid analysis on this match, and this counter-performance in which he takes his share of responsibility.

"What I remember, [it] is a sterile domination, especially that. A possession is good to play in possession, it is beautiful, it is beautiful but, no, we had no accuracy in the last 25/30 meters, to make the offsets. On one or two chances in the first half with Perle [Morroni], we might have been able to score. "

"Good after, second half, we take the goal, at one time we played three, I played almost two behind, after we made a communication error that unfortunately [arrives] when we really had 'ascending the match. Good they score, they had waited. I told the girls at half-time that we should not make mistakes, that we had to be very technically right. We have not been, we have been sanctioned and good football is like that, it is to score goals. "

After a good free-kick, the free kick is well struck but we asked some girls ... I had Shirley Cruz out who was at the end of the wall, [and] we did not compensate. I think Bret [Sandrine Bretigny] found the opening on that. A nice shot, maybe with the wind a little bit but a nice shot that went into it.

"Preserve this second place"
"After that it was complicated. Cristiane gets hurt. When we have bad luck on a match, it's like that. Well I think for her, the European Cup is complicated. It's a bad afternoon but hey I had expected a little since the beginning of the season. We were always on the edge of the razor, we managed to hang on. "

"(...) We must not lower our heads, we have a workforce that will go to Munich. we will do the match it takes to try to put in the best possible conditions to be present at the semifinals. It is true that the championship, it will be complicated now, even by recovering our points. Now, we must remember to preserve this second place. "

"It puts a little bit of challenge, but hey, there are still some good challenges by the end of the season, a Cup final if we manage to beat Saint-Etienne, still this race for the championship title, and the Champions League. Must clear, get back to work tomorrow morning and especially have the desire and especially the determination to revive a little. But congratulations to Marseille. "

The defense of Paris, a force usually and Achilles heel today
"Yes, we made a mistake, but maybe because I took risks, because I took risks to score. I am perhaps also at fault, because I am someone who goes ahead, when we do not mark, we must go. Well today, we were punished but I regret nothing because I wanted to mark and we were surprised.

But there is a big communication error, the two defenders, Laura and Irene do not communicate, and it's a shame, because things that might not have happened ... but there's fatigue too, there at the accumulation maybe of some matches, I can not always turn. But I'm not looking for excuses, honestly, we were beaten, we did not know how to be effective in the first half and when we dominate like that and we create so few clear opportunities, it's 'we do not deserve to win'

Has there been, even unconsciously, a desire to "manage" the match before the quarter-final against Bayern?
"Before the match, I told them they are pro players, if they are not able to make several matches at a certain moment even if there are international competitions, that they stop, that they do another job because is good to play games. No, no, at some point you do not have to find that excuse, that's all.

We must question ourselves, we made mistakes, I say "we" made mistakes, because I do not go out of mistakes either, must assume. We're going to get ready again and tomorrow we're going to train and we're going to recover, I hope, in the right direction, it will be complicated, perhaps, at Bayern. But we were able to win matches without some players, we have to prove it now. "
