Second trip of the season for our Rémoises who meet at Stade Charléty tomorrow to face Paris FC (5 p.m.)! Faced with this formidable opponent, the Red and White have only one desire: to unlock their points counter. Discover the statements of Mathieu Rufié and Lucie Calba at a press conference before this fourth day of Arkema PL:
Mathieu Rufié: “It’s not the start to the season that we had imagined. It’s disappointing to have zero points, but when I see the content, I know that we are capable of getting there. Even in the match against Dijon, which was the least successful, I see positive elements I think we lacked confidence in this meeting.
“Now we need the points to fall on our side. With 4 points, we would be liberated.”
“Paris FC is a team with little rotation. They are very strong, with significant maturity, they know the championship well. We know it’s going to be tough, but we also know it’s doable. Saint-Étienne l ‘showed last week.”
“Obviously, I will probably have a slightly more defensive system in this match, but I want us to succeed in doing something with the ball, so as not to give it back immediately. It will be hard, but it will allow us to grow .”
Lucie Calba: “We are not proud of our start to the season, it’s frustrating, but we have a united group. We don’t give up, we work for each other. We know that there are positives, especially on the first two matches, where we could have taken points. Our luck will eventually change. I have no doubts about us, with heart and head, we can take on any team.”
“I was really welcomed. The infrastructure is top notch. I played in the second division last season, so it’s a real milestone in my young career. Coming from Metz, I obviously knew Reims, it’s a club that trusts young people It’s a historic club, whether for women or men, for me, it’s a pride to be here.
“My goal is to find a place in the Arkema Premier League, to have playing time and to continue to be called up for the youth team.”
“Paris FC is a very good team, but there can always be surprises. We can’t say to ourselves that we are going there to give up 3 points. We may have less of the ball, but we will have to seize every opportunity and not to doubt. You will have to live the match to the fullest.”
