The D1 Arkema championship (12th day) resumes this Wednesday afternoon for the MHSC women's footballers traveling to Strasbourg. The opportunity to talk about good resolutions at the start of the year like those presented this Tuesday, January 7th at a pre-match press conference by MHSC coach Yannick Chandioux.

The time is right for wishes. “Happy New Year, and above all good health! Success and achievements…” Yannick Chandioux is willing to take these times of kindness at face value. With special wishes for his players. “The idea is firstly to start this second part of the season well and for everyone to come to training every day with the same state of mind as the first part of the season. Every day, almost every day, after each session, I told myself that I had a group that was involved, that worked and when you feel it every day, when you are a coach, it is important, it is the basis, and that is what I want. On an individual level, it's about progressing, but when you work, there's no reason not to progress”.

“Continue to progress”

In action, it starts this Wednesday in Strasbourg for the 12th day of D1 Arkema. A promoted team that came to seek a draw in Grammont in the first leg, a follower of the rest of fairness, four draws in eleven matches, the highest total with also the most defeats, six since the start of the season. “If we take stock very quickly, I regret the last two matches (defeat in Dijon, 4-2 and against Fleury, 0-1) because in a different way, we were below what we were able to show previously, we lacked solidity, mental freshness. And Ife (Ifeoma Onumonu) was missed a lot (top scorer (6) of the team), with her, it would have been a different match… We go to Strasbourg with ambitions, as in every match. We always wanted to be ambitious. I do not put this match in relation to the first leg (0-0) or the Fleury match. I put it as a return match that we have to negotiate well. We have to perform well and bring home points, that's the goal for the week.”

The opponent

“They're a promoted team that's hanging on, that has ultimately bothered a lot of teams but that with the draws has had trouble getting past the second half of the standings. They're a well-organized, well-disciplined team, that can still be dangerous offensively, so it's up to us to find the necessary rhythm and intensity in the last thirty meters, which we weren't able to do against Fleury, and find some solidity. We based ourselves on this on the first part of the season and we have to keep it, let it be our working basis”.
