The reaction of Sarah M'Barek, coach of Guingamp after the defeat (2-1) of his team on the lawn of Juvisy. Very critical of her players on the action that brought the goal of the win for Juvisy, she pointed to the lack of maturity of her players, which she said made the difference in this game.


"We had a good second half. We did not go in first. I do not like to criticize the refereeing and make delicate statements but sincerely there's no penalty, there's never a penalty; After, it's a fact of play, it's like that, that's what I said to girls at halftime. On the face of the first half, they could have led 1-to anyway, so here is a little bit like that I turned things. "


"We make three mistakes"


"Now on the second period, we come back quickly, we are really good in it. It's really hard to get a goal at that minute [94th], the referee could have whistled, it was over for almost a minute. Now we made three mistakes, the first is Charlotte Lorgeré who has a free-kick, which pulls too quickly, in my opinion, and badly, we take the back against and there's a corner, and just before there is Suzy Morin who can get the ball out of touch, she does not release it. And after, there's a corner, and we always put someone on the path at the first post, and there weirdly nobody. The ball bounces right in that area and behind y'a [goal]. "


"It really reflects my team and my group because it's a lack of maturity, a lack of experience. It's a little what I explained to my staff, we can explain them, tell them, they will not hold back. Now, having lived today, I think it will be [engraved] in their head, they will not repeat such mistakes. So here, I am especially very sad for the girls because they do not deserve that on the face of the match, on the fact of having fought, it is a pity after it is football. "


A defeat with few consequences in the standings


Yes it's sure. Seeing the joy of Juvisy, they were on the other hand, they wanted to win here and I understand them. Now, I would not spit on a draw or a win, that's for sure. We still have two important games because we are going to play Metz and Saint-Étienne which are two teams that are in delicate situations. We risk deciding the fate of one or the other team. So it's good somewhere, because it leaves us with the challenge and it puts a little spice to the competition, because otherwise having nothing to play until the end of the season is complicated


A Guingamp team on restraint?


[Tonight], there was not Salma [suspended] so it's still a bit of the team's metronome. She's the captain, she's an experienced player so we had to adapt without her. I had tenure three other players who had not been for a long time, voluntarily to try to give a second wind, so I suspected that it would take time to arrive in the game. We were good in second and they managed to raise their level of play in the second half so it comforts me on that side.
