To discover
The complete calendar of the Blues
What conclusions do you draw from your first meeting?
“
Everything has been perfect this week.
Our welcome, the enthusiasm shown by the players, by the staff, and all of this ended with two great victories.
There are always things to complain about but there is progress.
The players were almost perfect.
It was a fantastic nine days.
When you have disciplined, attentive, very rigorous players, it's only happiness for a coach.
They showed that they were at the level, even more.
We will have to follow the end of the championship because the competition will be tough.
The list of 23 will not be easy.
There will be ghosts, so competition, but it's football, that's how we want to go forward.

Why did you launch goalkeeper Constance Picaud in this match?
“
It was my first internship, it's important to give Constance a chance, who doesn't have a lot of experience.
It's a shame that she makes a mistake but it happens to all the greatest keepers.
You have to use them, when they have no consequences, it allows you to grow a little faster
.
Are you satisfied with the atmosphere, with 14,200 spectators in a 25,000-seat stadium?
“
It's not enough, but it's up to us to get people more and more interested.
We must all go in this momentum which should allow women's football to move forward.
There has been some turbulence, this image needs to be perfect if he is to grow up like he is growing up in England and Germany.
(On programming) We can do better on that side.
We could have played Thursday (against Colombia, not Friday) and Monday (instead of Tuesday).
It's difficult to compete with Bayern Munich / Manchester City.
This is the top level in the world.
We have to think about all that if we want the dynamic to go forward.
Every detail will count for this women's football that deserves it.
