In the midfield, Sara Yuceil shines with his defensive work to recover the ball and bring the excess on the Olympian attacks. Today she also distinguished herself by scoring the first Marseille goal in the victory of OM against PSG. A feat that the Belgian international is still struggling to achieve.

"It's amazing, I do not really believe it yet. It comes back like "Oh, we won! Ah, we won! ". Yes, so I think it's huge what we've just done. "

On his goal that opens the scoring for Marseille
Not necessarily (laughs). I do not know what they did. I think it's a mistake, they'll blame themselves, it's a defensive mistake they made and I was there. No, directly after the goal, you have a moment of euphoria but directly after, I thought: "Stop, it's 0-0 again" and we will continue and we must go to the end and here.

[...]

"I think we applied the coach's tactics globally and we did it. We fought to the end, we will feel it tomorrow, I think. But it's clear that it was a group effort and that's what makes the most fun I think. "

Marseille, a team increasingly monitored?
"Yes, it's on, after I think we were already long enough. Since we were fourth before today, I think we are expected more and more because the other teams are seeing results. And today, knowing we were expected, we met the challenge so I think that if we continue like this, we do not have to be afraid. "

You came to France to progress, to play big matches. For you, this meeting against PSG is part of these "big matches"?
"Yes, it's on, it's a great match. I missed it in the [first leg] because I was injured and so it makes me too happy to play against a team with such a beautiful story and a good team. For me, it's a very good team we just beat there, it's great. "

You said you still had trouble realizing. When we prepare this kind of matches, what state of mind, inevitably the desire to win, but what goes through your head when you return to the field?
"In our heads, everything is possible, knowing that we lost only 1-0 there, it was possible. But we know who we play against, we know it's a level above and so we'll have to work, we'll have to go and that's why we do not believe. We're going to start believing it over the course of the evening and tomorrow probably too, but because it's a team that is [up] and we're going [up] so that's great. "

Some players in the team are regulars of this kind of match as Sandrine Bretigny, Viviane Asseyi, Caroline Pizzala. What role does she play in this kind of match?
They have a pillar position in the team and so when they say two or three words, I look at them like that [she mimes eyes wide open]. Players like that, whatever she says, it's going to be motivating, they have the experience, they have the talent. They proved in this French championship and clearly for me, it's players that I will admire, in quotation marks and I will listen to them.

A word about Belgium and the preparation of the Euro
What I felt at the Cyprus Cup was that there was a group that is really being formed more and more and it's a super nice band, the atmosphere, the atmosphere was superb and our results we had two wins, one draw and one defeat which is huge for us and I think we are really well in the preparation for the Euro. If we continue like this, we could perhaps hope for results at the Euro. It would be great and completely feasible.
