The reaction of Sébastien Joseph, Rodez coach after the draw a goal all (1-1) on the lawn of Juvisy on the occasion of the 19th day of D1. A result and a match that contrasts with the scenario of the first leg where Rodez had lost ten to zero (10-0), and a memory that remained in the memory at the time of approaching this meeting.


"Overall, on the satisfaction result. If we had been told a draw before the match, we would have taken. After, looking at the overall look of the game, despite everything with a little disappointment too. There is a pole and a bar on the side of Juvisy so they can win but I also find that the most frank opportunities have been Rodez side.


We really had the opportunity to put this second goal and here is a little bit frustrated about that because we have the opportunity to put the second and we do not. That's what I said to the players in the locker room: "That's good, we made a very good result, but this game, you must win."


The question of offensive efficiency does it seem that this is one of the main issues for Rodez this season?


Clearly today we miss too many opportunities to hope for anything and in most matches, indeed, [that's what happened]. The last match of the championship game that we lose 2-1 against Metz at home is a match where there must be, being a realistic minimum, 2-0 at half-time and the match is bent. But that, we do not know how to do it, we do not know how to put the real opportunities that we have at the bottom and we constantly put ourselves in the difficulty and we stay within range of the opponent.


The first leg with this 10-0 defeat at home, he was in the heads preparing this game?


Exactly, we talk before the game because we are not particularly worried about the maintenance, especially when we see the schedule of direct opponents [for] maintenance. So in our heads, we are not at all in the idea of ​​saying to ourselves: "The maintenance, this, that". We were playing liberated in relation to that. By cons, actually, compared to what had happened in the first leg, we really wanted to wash this affront. (...)


Juvisy had a good game, but we were not allowed to drop a match like we did. So it's more a question of mentality and to propose something that also corresponds to the values ​​of our team. (...) I think that everyone was motivated and was eager to show the true face of Rodez on this kind of meetings. We know that we are capable of hooking all the teams by playing good football and we showed it today.
