After the victory of PSG against OM (4-0) at Stade Jean-Bouin, the Parisian coach returns with satisfaction on the meeting. A first in this Parisian stadium, just next to the Parc des Princes, a setting that Patrice Lair appreciated: "Super afternoon! Beautiful sun. Great atmosphere. Stadium well stocked. Great fans. It was nice and we were serious. "


On the match and victory of PSG

"We knew how to make the difference on the first half by not being extraordinary but very serious. It was an interesting 4-4-2 with a Marie-Laure Delie who found her legs. After, we managed well in the second half. Notably by strengthening the midfielder and entering a number 10 [Jennifer Hermoso] to play in the intervals and hold a little more ball. We get to score 4-0 which shows perhaps the difference between a team in doubt, who plays the maintenance, and we who remain competitive and always ambitious. Even after the game against Montpellier, I remained optimistic. "


On Montpellier, the main rival of this end of the season

"It is true that Montpellier has made a small misstep. Nothing is played. We have a "bonus" match next weekend against Fleury at Camp des Loges. It will be a good idea to take 3 points, we would then 5 points ahead [on Montpellier], after that can be interesting. And then I'm ambitious, why not worry about Lyon at home. And most importantly, I hope to qualify for the final of the Coupe de France, and succeed what we did not manage last season, that is to say, win a title. "

At the break, did you know that Montpellier had been held in check in Bordeaux?

"They hid it from me. After that it's true that at one point Bernard [Mendy] told me "they did 0-0". I said to myself, there's more reason, we must not let go. "


On the Parisian workforce

"Those who have arrived [at the winter break] are starting to adapt well to the way they play. This [end of] season, we will recover Formiga, Erika and Christiane Endler, who are quite important players in my group. I hope it will allow us to get this place in the Champions League and give the right to a final of the Coupe de France. Even if I repeat, Soyaux is an opponent to take very seriously, it will not be an easy match, they put us in trouble early in the season. But I think that today there is some extra strength [in the group]. "

(...)

"I wanted to keep the group last week against Saint-Etienne, who had made a very very serious match, even if it was against a D2. And it may be like that next week, despite the return of the players of the Copa América. You have to keep the confidence to finish this season. "


On the audience and the mood in the stadium

"There is a beautiful communion with the public. When we see that, we think that in Paris there is a way to do something with women's football. Our leaders need to help us a bit more. It is important. It takes a nice team. We can do nice things here, Parc des Princes, [Jean-Bouin] Parc des Princesses. "

(...)

"The songs, the whole game ... By the time it's true, it may be a bit violent in Marseille, but we know very well that Paris and Marseille can not go together. I told them "you are Parisiennes and well you have to hate Marseille a little bit. It's a shame to say but it's a trick, there are clubs that can not get along. Today the audience was super happy, they greeted us with the bus, the motivation was easy to give to the players. "

On Sandy Baltimore, who makes her "hole" and connects the tenure at 18

"At the beginning of the season I was caught a little crazy when I made him sign. Her agent asked me if she would really play, and I was convinced. With the qualities she has, she could only have playing time. Without pretension, I hope she will make the World Cup with the A next year. "


On the future:

"If I have to leave it is leaving a female section that holds the road. I work for that. And if possible in the Champions League and why not with a title. We'll see after. But as long as there is hope, possibilities, we will play them thoroughly. At one point it's not enough to have the jersey, the badge, you have to go get some things. I want my players to be in the best possible conditions.

We will say what we want but on everything we have done for two years, it's still not bad. Champions League final, Coupe de France. There are coaching reports that are much worse. As long as I am there, I will do everything to succeed and defend them. The conditions are improving but in [term of strength], we can still pass a course.

Football is winning, winning titles, that's what's most important. And to win titles, I think we have to make a little effort [financial]. Especially at home, we can do this little effort. "
