The summary of the match => D1 (late match) - Metz / Paris (0-2): The PSG ensures without shining


Football Hearts - How did you feel about this match?
Sabrina Delannoy - The most important thing for us was to leave with the victory. We knew it was going to be a little complicated, with not obvious conditions. We knew they were playing the game so it was bound to be a catchy team. Having put this goal quickly enough, it helped us.

Soccer Hearts - After the Champions League, and moving for you it was a little difficult in the legs. In the first half you have mastered the meeting and in the second half you have made a little catch up in the rhythm?
S.B. - Yes it is logical after they have big to play also so they wanted to put pressure on us too, they came to get us a little higher [in the second half]. For us the most important was to manage well the score, it was useless to win 8-0 against Metz, we had to start with the victory especially and show that we have our place in the top of the rankings.

Soccer Hearts - There you will face this Albi weekend, you will also be on restraint?
SB - No (laughs) we will not be on restraint with Albi especially that there is a special little context with this team, we have not forgotten and we did not let go anyway to get our points and we can have a fair decision. It will be a particular context necessarily and we know that they will also be just as catchy and it will not be obvious. We have a squad that is able to play three games in a week and when there is a particular context. Like that it's not difficult to motivate yourself.

Hearts of Football - You who is a Parisian of always we will say, what does it make to play Lyon three times?
SB - (smile, breathlessness) Frankly it shows that the French Football has evolved, it shows that the Paris Saint-Germain also is growing because we find ourselves in the two finals, we find ourselves in the top of championship in spite of everything, so we progress little by little and will have to close by beating Lyon and then win as many trophies as possible, because that will show that the PSG has grown even more.

Football Hearts - Do you think you have the opportunity to beat Lyon?
S.B. - Of course (smile).

Soccer Hearts - With more than one goal gap?
S.B. - Ah bah a goal away is enough, so if we win 1-0 both finals it suits us.
