Experienced, Messina and ex-Brazilian international, Simone Jatoba for three seasons, had made his scales with Olympique Lyonnais from 2005 to 2010, before returning to Brazil. A high-level experience that makes her a great asset for the FC Metz squad. As in this match where she will play a leading role in defense, in particular, and be important to retain and thwart Parisiennes.


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


Soccer Hearts - What is your feeling about this match?
Simone Jatoba - Too bad we took the goal so early but, well, it's like that (shakes your shoulders).

Football Hearts - What is your feeling, because 2-0 is not a big score either?
SJ - Yes it's true, because against a big team like that, I think we must let go, we must play, we must have fun too because if we wait too much, this is where it becomes complicated. But I think we defended well and 2-0 against a big team like that is not bad. But I also think that you have to work every day to do better and to play equally.

Hearts of Football - Yes we saw that in the first period after conceding the two goals, in the second there was a change? In the speech in the locker room can be, who induced this?
S.J. - Yes the coach also pushed us. Even us to avoid small mistakes [in our game] to try to get closer [PSG] and not to take goals and try to put on our side. It's a shame not to have arrived, but on the second half, our state of mind was different.

Football Hearts - You still have a little more experience than the other Messines we will say, with a past where you participated in the World Cup, at the Olympic Games, so it's not nothing. Are you trying to give some of that to your team to face those big teams there in the D1?
S.J. - Oh, of course, all I can do to help. The lyrics to help on the ground. I try, because in a team we have to support each other, we have to be really together and for me it's really a pleasure [to bring my experience].


"Things to do so that the club can grow in women's football."


Hearts of Foot - You have gone from Lyon (2005-2010) to Metz (since 2014) in D1. How did this adaptation happen? (Even in the meantime the Brazilian has made other clubs)
S.J. - There is a big difference because Lyon has been around for a long time in Women's Foot and the means are really different. We really see that. Metz is in the beginning [of his apprenticeship], he starts there now [to form a female team] and in a few years [it will take]. We can not say today or tomorrow, there is still work, things to do so that the club can grow in women's football. We start walking.

Football Hearts - It's true that you had a complicated season, with a start where you scored the only goal in the first leg of the elite championship.
S.J. - Yes, it's true the beginning of the season it was really complicated. The concentration missed, there were too many things and it's a shame we woke up a little later, but not too late anyway. The championship is not finished. It's true that it's going to be hard, but anyway we will continue to work and play no matter if we stay or if we go down again. All that will depend on our effort on the ground. We must do everything we can and after we'll see what happens.

Football Hearts - Have you questioned one's impression, especially after your three consecutive wins?
S.J. - Yes but we must believe it, we must think that it is possible to win [our games] and we must think about each game, without projecting on the next. We must think match after match. Every thing in its time, if we win tomorrow is good, after we think about tomorrow. Do not think too far, because it's really difficult.

Football Hearts - I do not know if you saw, but Bordeaux in the other game late, lost only one goal against Lyon?
S.J. - (Scars eyes) 1-0 against Lyon? Oh, I did not know.

Soccer Hearts - They made 0-0 at halftime and 1-0 at ten minutes from the end of the match.
S.J. - Oh well it's a good result for them (crosses arms). [The maintenance] It's not easy for everyone, you have to work hard to get there.

Football Hearts - There your next match is against Montpellier so, it's still a big opponent, they may be waiting for you even more? How do you see it?
S.J. - No, I do not think so because they will also need points [compared to the second place of the championship] because they are elbow-to-elbow with Paris. For them, the important thing is to win and for us, the important thing is to make a good match too and if we have the opportunity to win, we will do everything for that, but we must not go with that in mind, we play and we'll see.
