It was with great frustration that Salma Amani, the mainstay of this Fleury team, was found just after their 4-2 loss to PSG in a late game. The Floriacumoise who was at the origin of the two goals of FCF 91, hopes that his team will show another face against Lyon this Wednesday!
His impression on the match lost 4-2.
We played only half-time so we had three goals in the first half, we were not at all in the game, we were out of time, we were not at all in the rhythm of the match. We knew we were going to get into it, we said we had to reiterate a bit what we did against Montpellier (1-1) and we did not manage to do it in the first half -time. So 3-0 at the end of the first half is very difficult to come back after, in addition against the PSG, which is a big team of the championship. It was much better in the second half but it was not enough. Very disappointed even if we play against the PSG and we are only Fleury, we are still disappointed to lose. We must not be satisfied with having scored.
What was missing in this match for Fleury.
What was missing? I do not like being aggressive, we have not been enough in the first half, we let them play too much, without bothering them in the game, we should have been more on the carrier of ball simply. It is complicated.
How do you explain that then?
We talked a lot about this match, but there may have been some apprehension, fear of doing wrong ...
Yes it's a game late, and we will continue with Lyon Wednesday, it will be complicated but today it was PSG and it was necessary to focus on that game.
A certain satisfaction to have scored these two goals before facing Lyon precisely?
Yes for sure but we knew we were able to do it, we know our qualities, our faults too but we knew very well that we were able to score against PSG. It took awhile to wake up, but it is certain that we must remember these good things there. We will remember the second half, which was better. Now we have to reiterate it but earlier in the match, we will say.
We have felt that in the last twenty minutes, this is where you have been most comfortable in your game, with more opportunities to combine with each other and to find you. Is that your feeling too?
I think that's the moment when we became aware of our game and our qualities, because we were a little afraid to play before that, so we tried to swing but it was not at all the thing to do. When we started to play the game and play with one or two hits on the ground our game, simply, it worked. So when we saw that it worked once, we retried a second time and that's how we managed to register our two goals. But we still have to work, we still have things to learn.
The entry of Julie Rabanne and percussion in his right lane, it helped you also to unlock the situation on your side?
Yes of course. Anyway when there are changes, it is done to bring a plus, freshness so it is sure that with its speed, it can bring a lot, even technically it is very good. It is she who makes the pass of the second goal [for Danae Dunord]. So yes she did a lot of good. Dana who also returns, who scores a goal, so it's good when the substitutes they bring like that a little more at the end of a match.
Last question, it concerns Lyon precisely because you face them from this Wednesday (in match postponed since Lyon played the Champions League). How are you psychologically after this match against Paris?
Already we will digest the defeat there. From tomorrow to take care of the care, small boils that there could have been, to rest also so there will be recovery. Then we will resume the preparation of this game against OL. We know we will run but we will not let anything go, we will give everything, it's not because it's Lyon, it will be like a gala match for us. We still want to have the most points because there are still many games and the race to maintain it is tight until the last day I think.
