The summary of the match => PSG - Bordeaux (3-0): The Bordelaises flank against Paris in the second half



You made a very good first period with your team, without complex. How do you explain that you dropped in the second half?
I think they still raised the game level and we physically began to tire. It was quickly felt because I believe that in ten minutes we take three goals, but we tried not to let go until the end. I am happy with my team. We gave everything we could and it will be used for the other matches.


Three goals taken so quickly, it's hard to digest anyway for you?
Yes it's hard especially when you have 65 minutes of good. It's hard to get three goals in five minutes. It hurts the morale, but we tried to get up and we did not take a fourth goal, which is positive. Now we will use these ten minutes where we took these three goals not to reproduce the next game.


I heard supporters say that it is the mind that you have lost but in truth it is not the mind that has flinched after the first goal?
Not the mind we have it, we have been preparing since July for that [this championship], to make big sessions ... We make a pretty good start to the season, so it's not the mind. It's just that physically we dropped and as I told you, they raised their level of play so we could not compete at that time (she shrugs) but we still managed to raise the head [after that] until the last minute.


These are the changes in your formation and the entries of Geyoro or Boquete that disturbed you in your game too?
I do not know if it's the changes, after we had to adapt with the new players who have returned (Cambot, Gathrat and Lacroix). What (looks in the air) finally, it may have been ten minutes to adapt. Maybe that's when we took all three goals, but I do not think that's it. As I told you, physically it was harder and we quickly felt it.


What did he tell you then your coach?
At the end of the match ? Well he was happy, he told us we had made 65 minutes very interesting, so we will stay on that, we will learn the ten minutes [where we fished] and we will refocus for the matches that arrive.


We have the impression that after your disappointment against LOSC (3-0 defeat) there was a click in your collective?
Heuu (she hesitates and blows) yes (smile).


"We are all in the same state of mind and that's what makes us strong in our team."


Did you remobilize anyway after this defeat?
Yes that's it. We all looked straight in the eyes and we said that this year there is something to do and I think that since the beginning of the season we prove it compared to what we showed the season last. We are all in the same state of mind and that is what makes us strong in our team. So here we are going to show again that we are able to do even better.

I've already talked to some of your teammates, including Erin Nayler, and I think you really had a nice recruitment this summer (Gathrat, Barbance, Lavaud, Thibaud, Ali Nadjim, Nayler etc.) There's a real project which is set up around the women's section of Bordeaux compared to last season when you played with the relegation zone?
Thanks to the season we spent last year, we were able to improve the weak points we had because we became a bit more professional, so that makes a big difference. After we knew how to make a recruitment which corresponded to our team, ie the state of mind and it is what shows today that one has a strength and that one is welded. Now here (smile).


How do you see the rest of the season for Bordeaux today? Do you think that you can stay in the soft belly as they say of the D1, the 5th or 4th place (as Marseille had done last season)?
Our goal already was to stay, now we will make sure to stay (nervous smile). After we will see where we will be [at the end]. But in any case do everything to stay as high as possible and see teams hanging, as today hang teams Top 4, so we'll see. I will not tell you what position we are going to be, in any case we are doing everything to be as high as possible and show that we are committed to being better than last season.


You have a new teammate in addition now, Lindsey Thomas from Montpellier and after the injury of Carol Rodriguez, it must do you good? There is a real dynamic that is installed all around the team?
Yes it's a good recruit, it's ... I do not know her too well but I know that it's a girl who corresponds totally to our group, to the state of mind, so there is no of reason that it does not work. On the contrary, we will do everything to integrate well, so that she feels comfortable and that it is successful during matches.


"We will have to come to a day to spend all our time on football"


Vincent Roussel - What are you missing to beat a Top 4 team? Apart from the budget ...
(she blows, and thinks about the question) Already we will have to happen to one day to devote all our time to football, which is not the case at home. After what we miss (slightly shakes his shoulders), I think that we miss not much. Because we have the mental and the desire to compete precisely against these teams there. After we will see with time. What we want is to hang these teams there so it will come little by little.


You lack of international can be also face these big stables?
(nervous smile) Yes maybe, maybe we miss a little more experience. It is true that we are a young group. After we must not forget that it's just our second season in D1, so little by little we will hang and we will compete.


Vincent Roussel - Next weekend you will face Soyaux, a team that stays a little closer to you. These are the three mandatory points?
Yes yes exactly it is a derby so we want to have these three points there and our goal is to take these three points there. In addition it's home at home so we'll see but it's sure it's an important match and we want to win it.
