Gérard Prêcheur (coach of PSG, winner 1-0 of OL): “I was surprised by this goal because it is usually OL who win their matches from a set piece at the end of the match. This is the first time this has happened to us this season. We weren’t that bad in the first half. Lyon had more chances before half-time, but we were more present during a very rhythmic and good level first half. We had more difficulty in the second half against Lyon’s pressing. It’s a match that deserves to be analyzed more closely, so that I can be more relevant in my analysis. The victory over Paris FC made it possible to have an awareness, a click.
It’s the first time we’ve had a little boost with this set piece, against Lyon at home, which ends an eight-year, 95-game unbeaten run. It’s good for Kadi (Kadidiatou Diani). She agreed to refocus. She delivered a good first period and she was also present in the second. She is rewarded. »
Sonia Bompastor (coach of Lyon beaten 1-0 by PSG): “There is a lot of disappointment for me and the players. The result does not meet our expectations and is cruel. Throughout the game, we put Paris in difficulty. There are positive things to remember. We know the qualities of Kadidiatou Diani. She was able to make the difference for PSG and put us in difficulty at certain times of the match.
During the match, we were solid defensively. PSG had few chances but had the opportunity to make a difference from the set stage. This is part of the high level. We must bounce back from the two European Cup matches that remain to be played this year. As in some of our previous matches, we didn’t always make the right choices and lacked technical accuracy in the last thirty meters. We sometimes fail to complete our actions, and behind we get punished. You have to be able to be more killer. With the quality of the players we have and their heading game, we have to be more efficient from a set phase. Nothing is decided for the title for which I remain very optimistic. »
