“The best team will play”

What is the news about the injured?
“Maxime Colin is out, he should resume at the end of the week or the beginning of next week. Pape Sy is still stationary. All the rest of the workforce is operational. Papa Diallo had some pubic problems but he is coming back, he had a normal week. »

Will Alexis Mirbach keep the cages?
“It’s a possibility but it hasn’t been decided yet. We'll see. »

You fielded an almost typical team in Obernai (0-3). Are you thinking the same way today?
” Quite. The idea is first to qualify, the program is not overloaded, we only play again the following Monday. We have time to recover, the best team will play. Afterwards, there may be strategies in relation to the team aligned in Clermont. But in absolute terms, a rotation is not planned. »

“Raon has quality players”

The competition is taken seriously…
“Yes, because we want to play. The point is to play matches, to perform well. We must maintain momentum. We are facing a more efficient opponent than in the previous round, which the club knows a little about having faced them two seasons ago. And he only won by one goal (1-2) with a cold sweat in the last minutes… We observed Raon's match against Biesheim (1-1, 4-2 on the tabs) and honestly, I I would almost have preferred to play Biesheim who plays in N2, because Raon was superior in this match. I know it's a team with quality players. »

This Raon team was a hit in this Coupe de France, with 32 goals scored.
“She has offensive qualities, she had a lot of situations against Biesheim even if she only scored in stoppage time. In N3, there are a lot of players trained or spent in professional clubs. This kind of match is difficult because there is the context, this full stadium where it is complicated to be good. I warned the players that there will not be the same strong domination as in Obernai. I also saw Raon against our reserve in N3 and I found that it is a team which plays well, which moves well, which has good technical mastery. You will have to be good at recovering the ball. That's the charm of football: if it were too easy, there would be less interest. We have great vigilance. »

“More pressure on the favorite”

Being hierarchically superior, you somehow have an obligation to win. Is this a form of pressure?
“There is the psychological aspect and that can be disturbing. These are different matches, the series of penalties can happen… All this creates emotions, perhaps stress among the players. This is the charm of this competition which is sometimes favorable when you are the outsider. This necessarily implies more pressure on the favorite. »
